I do NOT own this shaver, but before purchasing a Braun dry electric shaver, you may wish to read my review of the newest Panasonic Wet/Dry Shaver, the ES8109S, which I posted on November 1, 2007. Panasonics have consistently offered shavers that have quieter, faster motors (13,000 RPMs) than Brauns. The best part of Panasonic shavers is that they allow you to shave with water and shaving foam or gel, which lends to a closer, more irritation free shave. If you have sensitive skin and are looking to make the switch to an electric shaver, or if you just want the best shave an electric can provide, I highly recommend a Panasonic Wet/Dry. You be the judge, but a least be informed.
