Features and Specifications Analysis

Foil Type Razor

You know, there are two types of shavers on the market, “foil and rotary”. The Braun Series 9 9296cc is a foil-type shaver that performs in the straight way to provide close shaves.

Braun used the most advanced foil technology in their series 9 shavers, and the 9296cc is the upgraded one. The series 9 shavers feature 4 foil cutting elements that perform together to deliver super comfortable and close shave.

Hi-tech Motor Drive

The motor drive used in the Braun series 9 9296cc is engineered with Synchronized technology to make it ultra-powerful. The motor creates 40,000 cross-cutting actions per minute, which delivers 14,000 haircuts.

This powerful system ensures super-fast performance for quick shaving. Although very powerful, the motor creates very little sound, making a premium feeling while shaving.

Flexible Shaving Elements

There are 4 shaving elements together on the head. All the elements work together to capture facial hairs perfectly.

The shaving elements are super flexible and can move and flex individually to ensure a comfortable skin touch.

The flexible shaving elements are able to reach any angle and any shape of your face to capture every single hair to deliver a smooth finish with a comfortable feeling.

Pivoting Head

The Braun Series 9 9296cc electric razor features a flexible pivoting head that moves in 10 directions of your face.

The pivoting head can glide over the skin smoothly and easily adapt to the facial curves. The pivoting head offers a comfortable, smooth, and super close shave every time.

Super Sharp Stainless Steel Cutters

The shaver comes with very sharp and durable stainless steel cutters, delivering very sharp and fast cutting actions in every stroke.

The shaver does not need a second pass over a space to have a close shave because of the super sharp cutters inside the foils.

Wet/Dry Shaver

All the Braun series 9 shavers come with wet/dry shaving technology. For this, you can use the shaver for fast dry shaving quickly and also refreshing wet shaving with shaving cream, foam, gel, soap, or water.

100% Water Resistant

The Braun 9296cc is 100% waterproof. So, you can clean the shaver and its parts easily with direct running water.

You also can use the shaver under the shower to have a shower shave while bathing. If you sink the shaver under the tub or slip it down from your hand, it will not face any water-causing problems.

Comfortable Rubber Grip

On the grasp of the body, there is a black rubber grip in the Braun 9296cc electric shaver. The rubber grip provides a very comfortable feeling while operating.

This comfortable grip ensures great security to capture the shaver from accidental falling down.

Premium Design and Feeling

You can understand why the Braun series 9 shavers are too expensive after taking it in your hand.

Braun engineered the shaver with a very sleek design that feels super premium. The body is made with premium chrome plastic and metal.

Automatic Cleaning and Charging Station

The Braun Series 9 9296cc electric razor comes with the world’s only 4-action alcohol-based cleaning and charging station.

The base automatically cleans, charges, lubricates, dries the shaver, and prepares for the next use.

Powerful Battery

Braun engineered the series 9 shavers with premium Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries.

The battery provides 50 minutes of continuous cordless shaving with 1 hour of full charge.

It’s impressive that it takes only 1 hour to fully charge and provides 50 minutes of cordless performance.

What do you think?

5 Minute Quick Charge

The shaver has a quick charging option, which takes only 5 minutes to deliver a full shave.

While you are in a hurry but your shaver is fully drained, and you need an urgent shave, the Braun series 9 9296cc  offers you a quick 5-minute charging which will provide enough power to have a full shave.

LED Display

There is an LED display on the Braun 9296cc electric shaver. The display shows the battery’s remaining time, charging indication, travel lock, cleaning indication, and more.

The display has an outstanding feature to make a countdown of the last 9 minutes in numeric signs. So, it’s more user-friendly to be careful about the remaining battery life.

Slide-up Trimmer

A trimmer is needed after shaving the face to shape the sideburns or eyebrows. Some men keep the mustache while shaving the beard.

You also need a trimmer to shape or stylize your mustache. In a word, a premium shaver is not complete without a finishing trimmer.

Considering this, Braun integrated a slide-up trimmer with the Braun Series 9 shavers. You can easily slide the attached trimmer to open and trim your sideburns, eyebrows, and mustache for a final touch.

Some people think that the attached trimmers are not good enough to trim. But I suggest you check the quality of the Braun series 9’s attached trimmer. I bet you will feel a premium performance.

Multi Head Lock

As you know, the shaver head can move in different directions for the flexibility of shaving. But sometimes, it needs a steady head to shave some special areas.

Braun thought it before and added a headlock to lock the head in any direction to make it steady. The headlock button lets you lock the head at the angle you need.

Travel Lock

A travel lock button locks the head while traveling or carrying the shaver inside the bag.

The travel lock prevents the head from automatically turning on.

So, you do not need to worry about accidental turning-on issues while not in use.

Travel-Friendly Shaver

Braun includes a premium deluxe travel pouch with the Braun 9296cc shaver. The travel bag feels solid while in hand.

The pouch is very useful to keep the shaver safe from dust or risk-free while traveling. Braun used a multi-volt (110v-240v) charging adapter to charge the shaver from home and abroad.

So, you can carry the shaver anywhere in the world while traveling, and you do not need to worry about charging it if the battery drains fully because you can charge it from anywhere and any electrical outlet.

Warranty

Braun engineered the series 9 9296cc shaver to long at least 7 years and provide the same performance until becoming dead. And they provide 2 years of limited warranty for their Braun series 9 shavers.

If you find any manufacturing defect or the shaver stops working within 2 years after the actual purchase, Braun will repair or replace your shaver without any cost.

The warranty will not cover if you make any issue by misuse, abuse, or any accident.
