Braun M90 Mobile Shaver Review: Budget Friendly

Finding a shaver that is ideal for traveling can be hard. I mean, there are so many risks to be avoided, like losing it or it breaking during transit. What if you lose the charging cord or the cleaning system breaks? Should you just take razors? Well… Braun has answered your woes by creating the ultimate on-the-go shaver: The Braun M90 Mobile Shaver.

A sleek, small, and lightweight designed shaver, with one blade and unique foil head, a protective cap that is built-in, and a separate trimmer, are all compiled into this perfect shaver. It doesn’t have smart technology, per se, but it does have great usability and will definitely satisfy your shaving needs.

The Braun Mobile Shaver is easy to clean, cheap to buy, and comes with AA batteries, ditching the use of a power cord or universal charging plugs. In fact, it gives a quick, smooth shave, and can be used as a regular shaver, rather than just for traveling.

In fact, this shaver is a must-have for shavers out there and has been known to work perfectly well for over three years, with and without having to replace the head.

This review looks into the Braun M90 Mobile Shaver more closely, for its features, advantages, and disadvantages.

Summary:

The company Braun is a German one and was owned by The Gillette Company until 2007, and now is owned by Proctor & Gamble. Max Braun was a mechanical engineer and began producing products in 1923.

In turn, Proctor and Gamble, or P&G, is a worldwide multinational consumer goods company, and produces pretty much everything!

Such a huge company, and now a well-known brand, makes state-of-the-art Shaving products, and so you know that choosing a Braun Shaver guarantees you quality.

In the box

A No-Fuss package, giving you exactly what is promised; a shaver.

Smart Foil

The Braun M90 Mobile Shaver has a unique shaving head. There is a foil pattern, which catches hair growing in lots of directions and cuts closely and comfortably.

The single blade also makes it ideal for sensitive skin. Sometimes, when traveling, skin can become inflamed, irritated or more sensitive to the new environment, making this shaver ideal to minimize any visible irritation. This is also great for novice shavers, as it won’t cut the skin like a razor, gives a clean shave, but also won’t irritate skin that has never been shaved.

Small and compact

Only 4.6 inches, the Mobile Shaver is actually purposed for traveling. It weighs less than 7 ounces and takes batteries which means you don’t have to worry about plug sockets, charging, or voltage differences. As the Trimmer is built-in, and it comes with a Twist cap to protect the blades; it is perfect for on the go.

However, the downside to this is that there is no battery display, so your shaver could run out immediately. There is no cleaning system either, so you have to clean under a faucet. Yet, this is easier for on the go, and if you remember to pack a pair of spare batteries, or rechargeable ones, you won’t be caught off guard!

Sensitive Skin

The Braun Shaver has one blade, and whilst some may see this as a disadvantage, it actually makes the shaver kind to sensitive skin, leaving smooth hairless skin without any irritation. There is some disadvantage that the replacement parts are difficult to find but this shaver costs a little more than $20, so repurchasing it is not going to break the bank.

Trimmer

What’s great is that instead of a separate click on Trimmer, the Braun Mobile Shaver’s Trimmers are already attached and just need to be slid on. It is great for trimming sideburns and mustaches. However, what this means is that if you don’t use the Trimmer, it is an add-on that you cannot remove.

This is ideal because it means you cannot forget it anywhere. All you need is the shaver really.

Battery

The Braun M90 Mobile Shaver takes two alkaline AA batteries, which are included in the box when you first purchase the shaver. This means that you do not have to charge the shaver, and you don’t have to pack a long charging cord, base stand, or any of that. Simply pop in batteries, which are approximated to the last four months of daily use, and you are good to go.

In fact, if you purchase rechargeable batteries, then you can charge those batteries, instead of purchasing new ones every single time.

It also is great for traveling because, as mentioned earlier, you don’t have to worry about worldwide voltage differences or plug socket differences.

A downside is that there is no low battery warning or smart user interface in this mobile shaver. It will simply lose battery one day. This isn’t too much of a problem if you remember to keep spare batteries with you, and for such a cheap shaver, it isn’t much of a surprise.

Cleaning

Unlike other smart shavers, the Braun M90 Mobile Shaver does not have a cleaning system. It is quite simply a travel shaver. What this means is that you need to clean it yourself, using a purchased cleaning brush, and running it under the faucet to stop hairs from collecting there.

As it is a Wet & Dry shaver, you have to make sure that you get all the cream or gel off, as this will affect the shaving quality of the shaver.

Despite not coming with fancy User Interfaces, Speed settings, or Cleaning systems, this little shaver is winning the best shaver category in traveling. It is inexpensive, easy-to-use, compact, and does what it’s supposed to do! Therefore, can say with utmost certainty that the Braun M90 Mobile Shaver is a fantastic shaver for anyone.
