Braun 590cc
$210.00
Released December, 2008
The Pros:Can achieve a very close shave after several passes. Functionally very simple operation, just an on/off switch and self-cleaning. Charges up in a short amount of time.
The Cons:Battery runs out of power quickly, and doesn't keep a charge for long even when not in use. Takes several passes to cut the beard close. Often chafes skin, even with those who don't have sensitive skin.
The Braun 590cc 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 570cc, the Braun590cc features an interactive LCD charging indicator. In all other ways, however, the 590cc is exactly the same as its predecessor. It also includes a Clean&Renew system that automatically cleans, dries, and changes the shaver at the touch of a button, keeping it feeling like a new shaver everyday. Like its predecessors (550, 560, 570cc), the Braun 590cc 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 590cc 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 590cc sports an environmentally friendly rechargeable battery with a 60 minute battery-recharge time, a 3 minute quick-charge, and a 50 minute (versus 45 minutes) cordless operation run time. The Braun 590cc also comes equipped with a long hair trimmer, an interactive LCD visual charging indicator, a cleaning brush, and a traveling case. The Braun 590cc is priced at $209.99, a $10 increase from its immediate predecessor, the Braun 570cc.
