Rating:  - Braun still not a Remington
I went from a Remington to this Braun about 6 months ago. Immediately noticed the clipping blade/mechanism is not as powerful or effective as the Remington's. Now I rarely need to shave every day so it is often the case I will use the clipper to trim it down. With this shaver it was simply not possible and i have anything but a thick beard.
I find the shaver is adequate if the hair is standing straight but if you have irregular facial hair at all (growing along skin or flatter) it completely misses the hair, even the clipper does not get it all.
Thankfully Walmart takes anything back and i was able to exchange for the Remington Titanium for less than 50% the cost of the 360 and for my face it is twice the shaver.
Rating:  - Excellent but use "Activator" foil & blades
I have purchased 5 Braun shavers over the years. I like this one (the 8995) with the digital info. showing how much of the charge is available-nice. That helps a lot when traveling too! However, I now use (after trying them all) the "Activator" shaving head (replacement foil & blades) with this shaver-good price on Amazon. The "Activator", in my opinion, is by far the best shave-closest with less irritation. Combined, this makes a great-great system. Highly recommend this. I also own the Pulsonic and frankly think this (with the Activator foil and blades) is closer. This is also lighter and takes up less space when traveling.
Rating:  - very good overall
It was rough the first couple of times. After a couple of weeks, I got used to it. Not exactly the result of a blade but close enough with much greater convenience and shorter time to shave. May need to shave everyday instead of each other day with a blade.
Rating:  - Braun 8995 Shaver
This shaver does not shave anywhere as close as an old Braun I had. All the fancy cleaning bells and whistles do not make up for a good close shave. It is not worth the money.
Rating: - Braun's the Best I've Had !
My wife bought me Braun 8995 shaver for father's day (although I hinted I wanted one). Some consumer ratings said it was the best and I totally agree. This electric razor has given me the best shave I've ever had, and I've been shaving for over 50 years, always with an electric razor. Now, as age has taken my hair, I shave my complete head every day. This razor shaves much closer than any of the other rotary and non-rotary razors I have purchased over the years. Another impressive feature is the cleaning cycle you can choose. I usually am prompted to do a normal cleaning every day but only do a cleaning cycle every other day. For an easy, close shave with no messy cleanup, I highly recommend the Braun 8995 360 Complete!
