Getting that right look for your beard is vital for every man out there. With a reputed company like Braun, you get what you see. In this Braun Series 7 7893s review, we’re looking at this series 7 shaver which is a lot of value when compared to the series 9 models.
Braun is known for quality, and that’s exactly what you get in this model as well. The model also boasts important features you can see in some of the higher-end shavers. However, is the Braun Series 7 7893s worth your hard-earned money?
Let’s find out.
Design
The Braun Series 7 7893s is a beautiful shaver that comes with a rigid plastic body.
To some, a plastic body could mean poor quality. But here, Braun has gone with a sturdy plastic which can last for a long period. The shaver is predominantly silver in color, thanks to the matte coating.
There is a rubber grip on either side of the Braun Series 7 7893s. This rubber grip makes it easier to hold the shaver. It can also stop you from accidentally dropping the device and breaking it.
The power button is found on the lower half of the front face. There are two more buttons on either side of the power button to control the intensity of your shave.
Even though the shaver can look bulky at first, it is lightweight making it a breeze to use.
Braun Series 7 7893s Features
The Braun Series 7 7893s is a solid shaver that comes with a boatload of features. Here are the main features that you can’t afford to miss.
Flexible Shaving Head
The shaver comes with a flexible shaving head. So what does it do?
It can pivot and flex when you shave guaranteeing a uniform shave. One of the main reasons for including a flexible head is to adapt to your face.
Every face is different. The head is designed in such a way that it can adapt to any type of face. The 8-D flex can help the shaver adjust to any jawline without causing any problems.
You can also remove the shaving head to clean and put it back in without any effort whatsoever.
Having a shaving head this flexible improves your experience day by day.
LED Battery Indicator
We are presented with an LED battery indicator. The indicator does not just indicate but also gives you a lot of details. Not only do you get the battery levels that are available, but you also get an indication when the shaver is in charge mode.
The LED indicator will also pinpoint the hygiene of your shaver. It will let you know if your shaver needs a cleaning.
Battery
The Braun Series 7 7893s comes with a Lithium-ion battery for power.
With 60 minutes, you can fully charge the shaver. A single charge can last for about 50 minutes which is pretty neat.
You also get a quick charge mode as well. If you’re in a hurry and need a quick shave, you can charge the shaver for 5 minutes and get enough power for one quick shave.
Four Shaving Elements
There are four shaving elements on the Braun Series 7 7893s model.
There are two shaving foils called opti-foil, which take care of regular shaving.
There is an ActiveLift trimmer which lifts the hair that lays flat on the face. When the hair is raised, the other elements trim that hair. With ActiveLift, you can get a cleaner shaver without leaving small patches of hair on your face.
The last element is SkinGuard. The SkinGuard is for smoothing the skin. It helps in improving the overall finish of the shave.
All the four elements go hand in hand and give you a final result that is nothing short of impressive.
Wet/Dry Shaving
Some people swear by dry shaving while others like the use of shaving gels and other products.
The good news here is, the Braun Series 7 7893s model support both dry and wet shaving as it is waterproof.
This allows you to use shaving cream, shaving gels, soap, and other wet products while shaving. The Braun Series 7 7893s shaver can withstand up to 5m of water.
Even if you were to drop the shaver accidentally in the bathtub, you should be fine.
The fact that the shaver is waterproof also makes it easier to clean it.
Place your shaver under running water for a minute, and you have a clean shaver.
Precision Trimming
You can find a precision pop-up trimmer on the outside of the shaver.
All you have to do is to press down, and you have access to the precision trimmer. It is perfect for the edges and other hard to reach areas.
One of the main benefits of a precision trimmer is that you can get clean lines along your beard edges. It is also great for trimming your mustaches and sideburns as well.
Power Modes
The Braun 7893s shaver comes with five power modes. There are not exactly modes but five different levels of power.
It is effortless to access and change the power levels as it just involves a push of a button.
You can see there are two buttons on either side of the power button. The button the left can be used to reduce the power level while the one on the right can increase the intensity of shaving.
The power levels start from ‘sensitive mode’ which is best suited for people with sensitive skin. You can increase the power step by step and reach the final power mode, named turbo mode, which is the most powerful of them all.
With a little time with the shaver, you can figure out which power level suits you the best.
SyncroSonic Technology
With the SyncroSonic technology, the Braun Series 7 7893s shaver delivers up to 10,000 micro vibrations per minute. This is a lot of vibrations, and as a result, you get fine shaving with fewer strokes.
Another neat feature here is that the shaver can detect the density of your beard. If your beard is dense, the shaver will pass more power to increase the intensity of the shave. This is a pretty smart feature, in our opinion.
Braun Series 7 7893s Performance
Even if you’re entirely new to Braun’s shaver lineup, this model is designed to provide a clean shaving experience.
Out of the box, the shaver needs a bit of charging. You’ll have to charge for an hour, and then you’re good to go.
With four elements, the shaver gives you a clean shave with fewer strokes. Regardless of the density of your beard, this 7893s model is a solid shaver.
You can also use the precision trimmer to make fine detailing to your mustaches, sideburns, and the back of your neck.
Like we mentioned above, there are five different power levels. If you have sensitive skin, then you can choose the first power level and have a comfortable shaving experience without damaging your skin.
The overall performance of this shaver is pretty satisfactory and should be a good deal for all kinds of beard bearers.
Cleaning the Braun Series 7 7893s Shaver
Usually, Braun shavers come with a cleaning station. But they have taken a different route with the Braun Series 7 7893s model as it does not ship with one.
Cleaning the shaver is entirely in your hands. Once the cleanliness indicator lits all the way down, you can start the cleaning process. Or you can just do a rinse after every shave which is also an excellent way to take care of your shaver.
If you plan on using shaving cream or shaving gel, then it is essential that you clean your shaver after every shave. You can place the shaver in running water in your faucet and clean it. You can also dip the shaver in a basin full of water to remove the small hairs that have escaped step 1.
Without a cleaning station, you’re missing out on the maintenance of the device. A cleaning station will use an alcohol-based solution for cleaning, and that’ll kill all the germs present on your shaver. This is great for personal hygiene, and sadly, you don’t get it in this model.
To replicate this treatment, you can also get an alcohol-based cleaner. You can either dip a small piece of cloth or a swab in this cleaning solution and gently clean the shaver. This can help you keep the shaver germ-free.
Braun Series 7 7893s Review – Bottomline
The Braun Series 7 7893s electric shaver is one of the best shavers out there. It gives you a clean shave, and the learning curve is non-existent. The four elements do a great job and give you a fine shave with fewer strokes.
The only gripe with the model is that it doesn’t come with a cleaning station. You can get one outside if that’s important to you. But that’s a small flaw and is not a dealbreaker. If you’re after an electric shaver that can give you a happy shaving experience, this is probably it.
