Braun Series 7 72-C1200s guide to features and wet or dry shaving

The Braun Series 7 72-C1200s is a wet and dry foil shaver designed to follow facial contours for a comfortable, adaptable shave. Its 360° SkinFlex head and three flexible blades work with Turbo, Gentle and Standard modes, while the precision trimmer attachment helps with detailed styling. Use it for everyday shaving or grooming at home and on the go: the waterproof design rinses under running water, and the cordless battery runs for up to 60 minutes, with a 5-minute quick charge for one shave. It suits anyone looking for flexible shaving options and convenient travel storage.

How to Choose the Right Electric Shaver

The right electric shaver depends on your beard, skin sensitivity and shaving routine. Compare the shaving system, cleaning requirements and practical details such as battery life and handling before choosing.

Key Features to Consider

Use these criteria to find a shaver that suits your daily needs and is straightforward to maintain.

  • Shaving system and skin comfort: Foil shavers can suit precise, regular shaving, while rotary models may be easier to manoeuvre over contours. If your skin is sensitive or your beard is dense, look for a design intended to reduce irritation and check that replacement heads or foils are readily available.
  • Wet or dry use and cleaning: Check whether the shaver is suitable for dry shaving, use with water, shaving foam or gel, and whether it can be rinsed under a tap. A washable design can simplify cleaning, but follow the care instructions and compare the cost and availability of any cleaning supplies it needs.
  • Battery, handling and durability: Compare cordless runtime, charging time and whether the shaver can be used while charging if that matters to your routine. Hold it if possible to assess grip, weight and noise, and check the warranty, build quality and ongoing cost of replacement parts.

A Smoother Fit for Your Daily Shave

Flexible Contour-Following Shave with Three Modes

The Braun Series 7 is designed to make your shaving routine feel tailored to you. Its 360° flexible SkinFlex head moves with the contours of your face, while three flexible blades help maintain close contact as you shave. Choose from Turbo, Gentle or Standard mode to match the feel and pace of your routine, from a quicker pass to a more considered approach. Together, the responsive head and adjustable settings bring comfort and control to everyday grooming, helping you shape a shave that suits your preferences.

Wet or Dry Shaving, with Precision Styling

Make the Series 7 part of a routine that works your way: its fully waterproof design supports both wet and dry shaving, giving you the flexibility to shave with water or enjoy a convenient dry shave. After use, the shaver can be rinsed under running water for straightforward care. For added control around your chosen look, attach the precision trimmer to refine details and style facial hair. This versatile combination brings shaving and detailed grooming together in one rechargeable tool, ready to fit neatly into your regular routine.

Up to 60 Minutes of Cordless Power

Enjoy the freedom to shave on your schedule with the Series 7’s rechargeable Li-ion battery, which provides up to 60 minutes of cordless use on a full charge. When you are getting ready in a hurry, a five-minute quick charge supplies enough power for one shave, making it a handy feature for busy mornings and travel days. The set includes a charger, cleaning brush and travel case, so you have useful essentials for charging, care and storage. It is a convenient grooming companion at home and on the go.

Braun Series 7 Foil Shaver: Who It Suits

For a contour-following everyday shave

If you shave regularly and want the head to follow the shape of your face, use the flexible SkinFlex head and three flexible blades as you shave. Choose Turbo, Gentle or Standard mode to suit your preferred feel, for a shave that adapts to your routine and facial contours.

For detailed facial-hair styling

When you want to shape or tidy facial hair as well as shave, attach the precision trimmer and use it to work on finer details. You get more control over your styling and a neater finished look.

For wet or dry shaving routines

If you like to switch between wet and dry shaving, use the shaver either way to fit the routine you prefer, then rinse it under running water when you’re finished. You can keep your shave and clean-up simple, whichever approach suits the day.

For grooming while travelling

When you’re away from home or short on charging time, use the travel case to carry the shaver and rely on up to 60 minutes of cordless use; a 5-minute quick charge provides enough power for one shave. You can keep your grooming routine going while travelling, even when time is tight.
