Braun Series 9 PRO 9597cc Electric Shaver, Wet & Dry with SmartCare Center
Product description
A dry shave at the sink and a shave with foam or gel call for different routines. The Braun Series 9 PRO 9597cc supports both, so you can choose the approach that suits your morning or grooming preferences.
Its foil system combines elements designed to catch short, flat-lying, and multidirectional hairs, while the built-in Precision ProTrimmer helps with sideburns and detailed edges.
For a more hands-off care routine, the included 6-in-1 SmartCare Center cleans, dries, and charges the shaver. The set also includes a ProComfort Head and a travel case for grooming at home or on the go.
Best use cases
Use the 9597cc for everyday facial shaving, whether you prefer a dry shave or use foam or gel. Its waterproof design also allows shaving in the shower. The different foil elements address hairs that lie in different directions, and the ProTrimmer is useful when tidying sideburns or working around smaller areas.
The shaver can also suit routines that vary from day to day. Pro SensoAdapt reads beard density 300 times per second and automatically adjusts power, including when working through a seven-day beard. For someone deciding between a dry-only routine and one that allows wet shaving, this model provides both options in the same shaver.

Benefits
The combination of two stainless-steel Gliding Foil Blades, SkinGuard, and blades for multidirectional and flat-lying hairs is designed to shave closely while supporting skin comfort. Braun also describes the shaving elements as designed to improve glide and reduce tugging and pulling. The ProComfort Head lifts and releases hairs before shaving, adding another option to the grooming routine.
After use, the SmartCare Center cleans hygienically, dries, selects a care program, and charges the shaver. The cleaning system is designed to help protect blade life and keep maintenance straightforward between shaves. The cordless runtime of up to 60 minutes and the included travel case are practical details for keeping a grooming routine flexible.
Buyers often praise the close shave, comfortable feel, and cleaning system. Feedback on value is mixed, and reports about battery life vary, so those opinions are best treated as individual experiences rather than a guarantee of a particular result.
Before you decide

When it makes sense
