Scored on 112 verified owner verdicts, from 823 comments read across 3 communities
TL;DR
Owners overwhelmingly say this gets about as close as a razor blade, often calling it BBS-smooth, and praise how fast and effortless the shaves are. Many with sensitive skin report zero irritation, though a meaningful minority get the opposite, naming breakouts, ingrown hairs, and neck irritation, especially with daily use. The other recurring gripe is the high price, and several note it can miss flat-lying hairs on the neck.

78% of 112 verified owners recommend the Braun Series 9 Pro, based on real owner verdicts aggregated from Reddit, enthusiast forums, and YouTube.

My Braun Series 9 Pro has been a revelation. Delivers an excellent shave, but is very costly.

Why does it not have the 360° header when even the half-price cheap S7 does?

I've got the Braun Series 9 Pro, it's the gold standard especially for sensitive scalps

Am folosit DE razor, lamă normală și braun series 9 pro, dar am pielea sensibilă și mă înroșesc repede.

I recently switched from a Braun Series 9 Pro to a Panasonic Arc 6. Either one of those will get you good results, but I found the Arc 6 to be superior.

I love my Braun Series 9 Pro. It gets pretty close to BBS, if that’s what you want. And it pretty quick and effortless. Definitely less irritation for an everyday shave.

I originally purchased the Braun Series 9 Pro+, but it didn't work for me. It caused severe irritation, especially on the back of my neck and the area under my chin.

Reddit— neutral

The s9pro performs better with flat lying hair on the neck. For me, the Arc 6 beats out both for comfort and closeness in all areas of the face.

I have used the Braun series 9 pro and Wahl Finale foil shavers, mild razors as the Gillette Skinguard. Sure, they are nice and will not give me big acne outbreaks.

The Braun does not have this problem, it powers right through everything. It's fantastic and worth every single penny.

Braun series 9 pro but it will still miss hairs, especially on the neck if they are of any length. Might get irritation if you use it everyday

Switched to a Braun Series 9 Pro and it works excellent - super smooth shave with almost zero irritation.

No repetiría en la vida con este producto porque pasado un año y medio de la compra del producto y no haciendo afeitado diario me encuentro con una señal de alarma en la afeitadora diciéndome que el cabezal está mal

It's a great razor and the self-cleaning station is terrific. But it doesn't give a great, close shave like a razor can.
