So in my opinion, unless you have a very good reason to opt for one of these three new releases, I think you’d better off with something else. Two days is my sweet spot when shaving with an electric shaver. Daily is not good because of irritation, and more than three days is too much growth for many, although some electric shavers handle heavier growth pretty well. Conclusion: I believe Braun Syncro 7680 was a beast in its days! extremely close shave, automatic clean and charge station, being able to shave corded and cordless, fully functional display. When we talk about the battery life of Braun 6020s, it has a lithium-ion battery which is pretty standard nowadays and matches contemporary electric shavers in the market. First, the positives. It is quiet! When contrasted to the 5885, the difference is night and day. The 5885 hurt my ears and this is coming from a cavalry and armor officer who was surrounded by rather loud and sharp noises. It certainly wasn’t tactical!! The 6020 is very quiet and I can say that it is not much louder than my phone when on vibrate and a hard surface.

Getting into the shaver, it’s the version which comes with digital display – Syncro 7680. I believe this one should be the very last version Braun released in Syncro series. And I think these accessories can tip the balance in favor of the new Series 7, 6 or 5 when deciding between them and any other shavers that don’t offer such accessories. It’s not a bad shaver by any means, but it’s clearly a step down from the previous generation: it’s not as powerful, it’s not as good with longer, flat-lying hairs and it’s not as forgiving if you have very sensitive skin.

So yes, the old Series 7 and 5 are simply better in every way that matters and if you can get them and don’t need the trimmer attachments and combs, I think you’ll be a lot happier.

The performance is identical throughout the entire Series 6 range and again the only differences are related to color and included accessories. 3. Performance The water pressure forces the flaps inward and the water flushes through the cassette, theoretically removing the hairs trapped inside.However, compared to the older Series 5 generation (with models like 5040s, 5140s and 5190cc), the performance is clearly a step-down. Braun calls this up and down movement SensoFlex in the case of the Series 6. This would be the first major difference compared to the Series 7. But then again, if you constantly grow a beard or stubble, you’d be better off with a full-fledged, dedicated beard trimmer instead. Sometimes, after using the old Serie7, I use the New 7 70, for final close cutting, in that stage, it works.
