I'm a long-time Braun user (currently I'm using a Series 5 550cc), but I'll be first to admit some of their models have problems. Their latest battery-powered travel shaver, the MobileShave M60B, is a definite improvement over my old PocketGo P-70. The main change, other than color and lack of the little push-out trimmer, is the newer Design Smart Foil like many of the more expensive Series shavers. The Smart Foil makes a tremendous difference compared to the older-style foil. The MobileShave gives a surprisingly good shave, but like most Braun single-foil shavers it will miss some longer hairs on your neck. This shaver can be used wet, and I actually like using it with shave gel (Nivea for Men Q10 is my favorite)which I think gives a closer shave with no irritation. Plus MobileShave can be washed clean and even used in the shower if you like that option. Battery life (two Duracell AAs are included) is excellent. All in all, this is a fine low-cost shaver and it's well worth keeping in your messenger bag or brief case for touch ups, and it is a nice compact package (with "on-board" storage for a cleaning brush) for travel. Well done.

The Braun M60B shaver is an excellent device. I long ago gave up on using disc head shavers and double or triple foils on my sparse beard. I used my favored Braun 5523 pocket shaver for 10 years before the plastic housing cracked. The Braun M60B is essentially the same device with added features of twist cap (never detaches so it can't be lost), new geometric pattern foil, and washability; all improvements. In truth, I do not know if my old device was water resistant and never tried.The foil is extremely comfortable and doesn't give razor burn when you apply pressure like the old one did. I can press this shaver firmly against my skin for closer shave with no discomfort at all! The shaver itself does a nice job. It's actually closer than a blade on my moustache. Not as close as a blade on my cheeks and neck, but perfectly acceptable, and better than any other electric shaver I've ever used.

I was very surprised at how well this thing works given its very low price. Instead of using the provided alkaline batteries, I installed a pair of recently charged 2300mAh NiMh rechargeable batteries. Using it every day, those batteries lasted for well over a month without requiring a recharge - and these were not quicky shaves. It can shave very close, and it glides easily over my skin.For more detailed evaluation, let me compare to a Panasonic 3 head rechargeable shaver I have. Actually, its the 3rd such I have had over many years. The failure mode has always been in battery performance. Servicing the built in batteries is not economically feasible, since replacing the whole unit also buys you new heads. Even my most recent is down to 2 shaves per charge, so I was pondering a replacement when I ran across this extraordinarily inexpensive Braun. The very low price was surprising since Braun has a good reputation. The fact that the Braun's batteries were user-replaceable was a strong selling point for me. Nevertheless, at the low price I was not expecting much.The Braun shaves closer than my Panasonic, and it glides more smoothly over my skin. The Braun is not nearly as loud, which is relevant since I normally shave while watching TV. Battery life is very good and replacing them is easy. Because its head is smaller, it takes somewhat longer to shave with the Braun; but I really don't care about that, since I am watching TV at the same time anyway. There is one significant con: There are non-whisker hairs (softer, lying close to the skin) in a couple areas near my beard which I also wish to shave. Unfortunately, these hairs never seem to poke through the Braun's foil, no matter how I maneuver it. Every 4 or 5 days, I have to resort to another means (the Panasonic or a blade) to get those hairs. The Panasonic has no problem with the soft hairs, since one of its 3 heads is a slotted head. (Norelco heads are also slotted and will also get these hairs.)Although these devices claim to be washable, I would not recommend washing. It is nice to know that the works are well sealed, but wetting it still seem like asking for trouble. For decades, I have used talcum powder as a lubricant for shaving. The drier the skin and whiskers the better. (IMO, the idea of wet shaving with an electric shaver is very counterproductive, since, unlike the situation with a conventional blade, softening the beard does not make cutting it any easier for an electric shaver mechanism (which has more of a scissor like action). Indeed, softening the beard just decreases the probability that any given hair will get to where a blade can hit it.) Talcum powder that collects inside is easily knocked loose and/or blown from the internal blade parts and skin oils and bits go with it. Once a week or so, it is good to use the brush for any buildup that might occur (e.g., between the blades of the shaving block). This approach requires very minimal maintenance and does not lead to any problems that I have ever experienced.If I were still dating, I would keep one of these in my car for last minute touch-ups.
