 Throw away the little brush April 10, 2001

There were two things I always disliked about electric shavers: they didn't cut close as a blade, and they required regular cleaning with that annoying little brush. The new Braun shaver, which I've reviewed also, is an excellent device, and the shave is quite comparable to a blade. This handy little item, of course, solves my other pet peeve, the claeaning part. Every morning when I finish shaving, I just put the shaver in the attachment, and it does its magic. No muss, no fuss, and no little brush! The next morning the shaver is ready for use again, and there's a pleasant lemony smell to it, which I like. As long as I can continue to get these refills (and they tend to be hard to find at times), I will continue to use this shaver, and continue to love it.
Works like it should. February 27, 2006

If you want to make the most of this product, do not clean your razor every day. It is not necessary. After you shave, shake the razor over the waste basket gently and it will remove some hairs. Then clean the razor every third day. I started useing my 8595 razor on Dec. 10th following this technique and I just ordered replacement cartridges.
 shave like new all the time - for a price! July 27, 2004

I typically use the cleaning solution twice a week; once on a Monday after a 'heavy shave' (I can't be bothered shaving at the weekend!) and once at the end of the week. Anything more than that is unecessary, I find.
But when you do use it - oooh that next shave feels so good and smells fresh. It's like using a new shaver. So why don't I use it every day? I don't think its worth the money - these things aren't cheap and, rather disappointingly, I'm not a millionaire, so having the 'new shaver' feel every day isn't justified.
And another tip: if you can be bothered, you can remove the solution after each use and re-plug it to avoid evaporation of the solution - which makes it last even longer. But that's all a bit too much effort for me...!
So, Braun - stop charging so much for a simple alcohol solution and design the cleaner to automatically 'plug' the solution when its not in use to prevent evaporation, and you'll earn that last star!
Happy shopping

I have this razor, and love it and the cleaning system. But does Amazon take us for fools? They are selling this three-pack for more per unit ($4.33 per) than the two-pack ($3.99 per). Hopefully they'll lower this price instead of raising the other one...

I bought this item. The ad says box of 12 refills and pictures 12 refills (each refill is a set of 2 cartridges) so I expected to receive 24 cartridges. However I received a box of 6 refills, each refill a set of 2 cartridges, for a total of 12 cartridges. If you read the description below it does say 12 cartridges, but they picture 12 refills not 6. I am contacting Goodman's and Amazon regarding what I feel is misleading advertising.
