Braun 8985
Since the 1950’s, Braun has continually developed
and
manufactured world-class shaving and grooming products. Though the
company was also known for producing slide projectors, super 8 film
cameras, high fidelity sound systems and even transistor radios, Braun
electric shavers have become the company’s most prominent and
successful international product. From the early 1980’s till
2005, The Gillette Company wholly owned Braun. However, when Procter
and Gamble purchased The Gillette Company, Gillette’s
ownership
of Braun was subsequently transferred as well. The Braun 8985 is one of
many shaver models.
Nonetheless, Braun continues to thrive as one of the leading
manufacturers of facial grooming products, beauty care products, food
and drink preparation items and certain irons. As part of
Braun’s
direction to further develop electric shavers, the company is currently
marketing various lines of their shavers. The series 7 shavers are
considered to be the company’s flagship electric shavers. The
series 3 shavers are designed for men who do not want to compromise the
quality of their shaving at lower price. The mobile shavers are geared
towards users who travel often or for those who want convenient and
handy shavers within reach at anytime of the day.
One of the more sought after Braun shavers comes from the series 5
collection. The Braun 8985 is the perfect example of German engineering
and innovation in the grooming industry.
First off, the Braun 8985 is dutifully equipped with a unique
oscillating middle trimmer that easily lifts and cuts off flat facial
hair. Thus, this feature allows this Braun shaver to have efficient and
smooth shaving even in problem areas like the neck.
With a counter adapting shaving head, the Braun 8985 is very much able
to adapt to men’s jawlines and even under their chins.
Moreover,
the Braun 8985 is designed to work in a triple action cutting system.
This means that this particular Braun shaver easily cuts both short and
long hair evenly. In addition, Opti Foil technology enables the Braun
8985 to cut hair deeper than most razors available on the market.
In addition to this, the Braun 8985 is fully washable using running tap
water. Hence, users of this Braun 8985 would waste no time in cleaning
their beloved electric shaver. Perhaps even more impressive is the fact
the Braun 8985 is efficiently manufactured to have the Clean and Renew
system in its disposal. This particular cleaning mechanism allows the
Braun 8985 to clean, charge and lubricate itself with the push of
single button.
The Braun 8985 can work with or without a cord. The approximate
cordless shave time is a little under an hour. However, the complete
charging time of the Braun 8985 is about an hour or so. Its visual
indicators include two LED and foil LED displays. Specifically working
at 100-240 V, the quick charge time for the Braun 8985 is about three
minutes.
The Braun 8985 is said to be the closest and most complete shaving tool
on the market. As such, it continues to receive acclaim and outstanding
reviews from various parts of the world.
