Braun 560

The Braun 560 is a cordless, foil electric shaver that features a precision, contour-hugging shaver head designed to provide an effective shave by automatically adjusting to every facial contour for maximum closeness and comfort, even in hard-to-shave areas. An upgrade from the Series 5 Braun 550, the Braun 560 is almost an exact duplicate of its predecessor, except for that fact that it includes a more in-depth visual charging indicator. In every other aspect, the Braun 560 is just like the 550. It also relies on a unique Gillette Blade Technology to cut hair close in a single stroke without pulling or tugging, not to mention a Power Comb Technology that lifts problem hairs that lie flat to the skin to avoid missed hairs in hard to shave areas. Furthermore, the Braun 560 includes a unique foil pattern that utilizes a 3-state cutting system to capture hairs growing from different directions for a closer shave in fewer strokes. In addition, the Braun 560 sports an environmentally friendly rechargeable battery with a 60 minute battery-recharge time, a 3 minute quick-charge, and a 45 minute cordless operation run time. The Braun 560 also comes equipped with a long hair trimmer, a visual charging indicator, a cleaning brush, and a traveling case. The Braun 560 is priced at $159.99, a $10 increase from its immediate predecessor, the Braun 550.
