Braun PocketGo Mobile Shave Electric Travel Shaver, Electric Razor for Men for On The Go, Fully Washable, M90, Black/Silver

I normally wet shave but there are times when I simply don't have time and if you need to look respectable you just can't turn up with stubble (unless it's "designer" and that's not me). I bought from a certain auction website an inexpensive electric razor but it really didn't do the job and the rechargeable battery expired within a year so it is now in the bin. As I usually do, I researched the market thoroughly before buying. In the end I felt I couldn't lose this was less than £20 and I opted for it over the M60 because of the trimmer function for which I am really glad. The ability just to trim the sideburns makes you look so much better groomed, even if you are overdue a trip to the barber. So, downside. None! Upside, takes batteries so you can always stop at your nearest newsagent or convenience store and get some more. It is BRAUN so the quality is fantastic. It's waterproof so, if you want to, you can shave in the shower (although I'm not sure this is a definite advantage) and it will not be ruined in the bathroom when you spill water onto it. The design is excellent so that the foil guard also cuts off the power swich and it cannot just turn itself on in your washbag (which my toothbrush does). There is a cute cleaning brush recessed into the base although you can just wash it under the tap. New foils are easy to come by and cheap. It takes around two minutes to have a clean-up shave where my Chinese one took nearly 10 minutes. It does not tug the hair it just cuts it without any discomfort. BRAUN sell razors for over £200. I get as close a shave with the M90 as I do with a wet razor against the grain of my beard. My skin must be pretty sensitive as I have only just found a wet razor I can do this with, previously I had to shave with the grain to avoid shaving rash. My wife loves the result and it's so convenient that if we are going out in the evening you can get rid of the 5 o'clock shadow in no time. I bought this thinking that if I liked it I would ask for an expensive model as a birthday present - forget it, if there is any advantage to a £200 razor (and I suppose there must be some) I amfar too content with what I have to even contemplate changing.

I bought this shaver as a present for someone but tried it before sending it and was so impressed with it that I bought another two. They do give a really close shave and it is one of the most comfortable shavers I have ever had. The shaver runs of two AA type batteries and I find that shaving every day with it - the batteries last a week but rechargeables could be used which would make life easier and cheaper in the long run. It is quiet and light and efficient and I had decided to use it as my main shaver and put my long term electric shaver in the bin BUT I discovered that the foil and the cutters are not available and so when the foil goes then so does the shaver. I really found this hard to believe but have worked out that a replacement foil and cutter for my Braun 5000 costs around the same as the price for the battery shaver complete and it is just the fact that a perfectly good shaver is thrown away because replacements are not available for whatever reason. There is a M60 which is identical to the M90 except that it does not have a trimmer built in but if this is not required then the M60 is cheaper and another excellent bargain and they are identical in every other way.. I would not be without mine and of course they can be used anywhere as they run entirely on batteries. .

I used to shave with Gillette Mach 3 shavers back in the day, every other day, but I decided to keep stubble for a number of years until the last 2 years I started to keep a beard...long story short tried clean shaving again for a change but started to get spots from ingrowing hair etc. With this Braun however, no spots, ingrowing hair, slight razor burn but I reckon that's down to me not being used to clean shaved and perhaps my technique has been lost. It's a fairly clean/close shave so it's the best of both worlds of a shaver and a trimmer. I just have to say though the hair does grow back quicker than a clean shave but I can compromise as I get no more of the side effects I used to from clean shaving, but I look clean shaven. It also has a detailing tool, although I haven't really tried it and from my experience, they're usually not that great, but who knows with this one. It's washable, according to the manufacturer. You can pop the head off and on easily for easy cleaning. It has a protective 360 swivelling cover on and does seem well built all round. Can't comment on the battery life as it takes AA batteries so depends on the batteries you use. Fits nicely in the hand, and looks nice but is all plastic but you can't complain as right now it costs £16 (I bought it at £17.50). Worth it for me because even though it's plastic, it's a lot of bang for your buck a feels nice quality. If you have sensitive skin and suffer from razor burns, spots, ingrowing hair, etc, I definitely recommend this to you. No cuts, or pulling hair. You do have to trim your hair short enough though before you use it as not to pull your hair Recommend imo.

Splendid, well-designed razor and absolutely outstanding value at £12 - I have just bought a second one as a spare. OK only it only has a single head / foil but that just means more passes and slower. Why pay £100 ~ £200 unless you really must have the fastest possible shave? Includes trimmer & even a cleaning brush, folds up small & foil is automatically protected. Ideal for travel or lightweight camping / backpacking. Only disadvantage is narrow trimmer, but this just means you have to take a bit more time & trouble. And that you have to recharge the batteries separately, but as others have said, batteries (either disposable or rechargeable) last for ages in this razor. Note: one person answering a questions above suggested the Philips Travel Shaver with twin rotary heads as a smaller alternative. Well, maybe possibly, but only if you find that a rotary shaver happens to work better with your particular hair growth. It took me years to realise that in my case, rotary wasn't suitable & that I needed a foil-type (reciprocating) razor. And I have a beard, so most of my shaving is under my chin and around my neck where the skin is looser and the hairs tend to lie flat rather than stick straight out - always the trickiest place to shave. This little razor works as well an anything else; I just have to patient, pull the skin taut and shave from various directions.

I bought this shaver specifically for travel and holidays, though for this review I will compare it with my everyday shaver, which is a three-head rotary shaver with inbuilt rechargeable battery. First off, the M90 is clearly designed for travel - it's small and compact, with a swivelling head protector which also locks the on/off switch, a neat slide-out hair trimmer and a cleaning brush clipped into the base. My home shaver is much bulkier, has no on/off protection and the trimmer is a push-on accessory. Now, performance - the shaving head on M90, being a single-blade reciprocating cutter, gives a slower shave than my rotary shaver, but it is smoother and closer, with no nicks, cuts or razor burn. It will do wet or dry shaving and the head can be rinsed under the tap. The home shaver scores by being faster and more manoeuverable but the end result is not quite as good. One notable lack is a battery life indicator. I think because it accepts a variety of AA sized batteries, including alkaline and NiMH, it may not be possible to do this. In practice you have to have a spare set on hand just in case. So there you are: it's cheap, it's built for travel, and it gives a close shave. I think it's a winner.

This is honestly the best shaver I have ever used. I purchased a series 3 shaver from Amazon last year and this little thing cuts better and gives me a really close shave and really honestly as close as any good wet shaver. I cannot understand why some of the reviewers have given only one star but I think they are reviewing the wrong item because this is unbelievably good. It is well designed and the M90 has the sideburn and mustatch trimmer whereas the M60 has not. There is also a little brush that fits very snugly into the bottom battery cover. It does take two AA batteries which says not included but are very much included and are Duracell too. I know these are German design but are made in China to a high standard and they are an ideal size to hold in your hand and with the batteries inserted they are just the right weight too. The beauty of these are the foil heads and blades are easily available from that very famous auction site (eBay) and I have seen the foil heads for about £4 to £5 and the cutter blades for about the same price but you can get both in packs and no more than £8. I think that is really good and don't let it put you off coming from China because that is where these shavers are made anyway. Obviously if you order spares from China they will take anything up to 3 weeks to get here but worth it. I had a shave today with my series 3 shaver (triple foil) and then I had one after with this shaver (M90) and it really did get every little but of stubble right down to the skin. Yes it was slightly sore after but nothing a bit of aftershave or balm cannot sort out. I expect it was because it was such a close shave. I cannot use the rotary shavers because they make me so sore but these I can use and I am still so amazed at this shaver it is now my favourite. Please ignore the one star reviews they really are reviewing the wrong item.

At first sight, this slim compact electric razor looked ideal for taking away when I travel. Thankfully, however, I have had a couple of weeks to try it before I go, and I have discovered its highly frustrating and produces woeful results. Twenty minutes of running this razor back and forth across one's in every possible direction face leaves a patchwork of long hairs, short hairs and bare patches. It seems totally random whether any individual hair will actually be fully shaved, shortened of simply left standing. Over the last couple of weeks I have used it regularly, and each time the results vary from poor to simply awful. Having spent ages each time failing to shave ones face with the main razor, as a last resort one finally has to spend even more going over it all again with the tiny long hair trimmer. In fact it would have been quicker and more effective to have simply attempted the whole shave using that. In conclusion, I really suggest that you don't waste your money on this razor, unless you're happy after half an hour's effort for your face to be left looking like a agricultural stubble field on which a blind monkey has been let loose with a combine-harvester. And be aware, that forlornly trying to shave it for such a long time leaves it not only rough, but also very sore!

edit* spring just flew out of the thing and now it's useless. Was great until it wasn't This thing is so well designed I prefer it to any other 2 foil shaver i’ve used, even Panasonic ones. With a brush built in it’s super portable and just works when you need it. Last one I had worked for 5 years until I left it on holiday by accident. If you wash it with soap after every use it will last for YONKS. Bargain for the price. Don’t waste money on anything else under 100.

Good quality

Weak and noisy. Phillips AA battery shaver much better.

very poor cutting quality would Not recomend

Perfect
