Braun's Series 8 - 8463cc shaver works with Sonic technology, which uses 10,000 micro-vibrations to capture more hair with a smooth glide on the skin. In addition, the AutoSensing motor detects the density of beard growth and automatically adjusts. Four shaving elements capture more hair in each stroke for a smooth and comfortable shave without compromise. The 40-degree articulated head masters even the most difficult contours with independently moving shaving elements on a pivoting head with MicroMotion and MacroMotion. The integrated skin-friendly precision trimmer slides out the back of the shaver for easy and more precise sideburn contouring. With the Series 8, you can shave dry or use water, foam or gel for an even better glide and smoother skin feel. The rubberized, textured handle makes the shaver safe and comfortable to handle, even when wet. Also included is the 5-in-1 cleaning station (SmartCare Center) with intelligent program selection, which automatically selects the optimal cleaning program: Alcohol-based, it removes 99.9% of all germs and bacteria at the touch of a button. It also charges, cares for and dries the shaver fully automatically.
