A self-contained shaving system, Braun has designed the 8995 360 to be the only piece of shaving equipment you need. The base station performs a multitude of tasks that maintain the shaver head so you get a close and smooth shave every time. The base station also charges the shaver so you don't have to worry about replacing any batteries. A 5 minute quick charge will give you enough juice to last for one shave, while a full charge should last for 50 minutes of shaving time. Braun's foil design and shaving technology is designed to shave close, and the foil top will handle hair that grows in any direction.
