If You Like Razor Burn. . . .
I've had my Braun 8595 for 5 years.  I LOVED MY BRAUN!!! It was worth every penny of the original purchase price, and the cost of previous replacement foils.  I went to buy my third set of replacement foils to discover the Model 8000 Activator, the original shaver foil and cutter block, had been discontinued and replaced with the 360* Complete, so I bought that.  Braun had been great, and never let me down before.<br /><br />I have fairly tough skin, but this new head caused horrible, painful razor burn.  It's the worst on the neck, but it causes it everywhere.  Rather than simply cutting the hair as I moved the razor across my face like the original foils had, the new one grabs my skin and hair and drags them along before finally cutting.  As a result of the painful dragging of the skin and hair before eventually cutting it, the shave is not as close since it isn't cutting the hair straight on as the razor with the original foils did.  Now it hurts to get a lousy shave.<br /><br />Braun must want us to buy the new Pulsonic, but I'm not falling for it.  They'll just mess up the foil and cutter again once a newer razor comes out.
