Braun Series 9 PRO+ 9577cc Review: The Ultimate Shaving Experience?

The electric shaver market is abominably competitive, with the giants of the industry and just ordinary mortal companies competing to provide users with the closest, most comfortable shave available. Braun has been the unchallenged master of this game of besting each other since time immemorial, and its Series 9 PRO+ 9577cc is the firm’s latest and greatest attempt. Expensive as the ultimate solution for the man who demands precision, comfort, and convenience, the shaver is rather an expensive proposition—but is it worth the cost?

In this comprehensive 1000-word review, we’ll take an in-depth look at the Braun Series 9 PRO+ 9577cc, evaluating its design, performance, features, battery life, cleaning system, and overall value. By the end, you’ll know whether this high-end shaver is the right investment for your grooming routine.

 

Design & Build Quality: A Premium Feel, Sleek, Ergonomic, and Durable

One of the first things you will notice about Braun Series 9 PRO+ 9577cc is its high-quality build. The shaver itself has a silver and matte black color finish which makes it look luxurious and sleek. The handle has also been wrapped with a rubberized soft-touch grip to offer a firm hold even when wet.

Compared with some of the cheaper plastic models, the Series 9 PRO+ is a robust and well-balanced (around 200g) sailer, providing more control when shaving. The lock mechanism and magnetic guard are extremely smooth with no lock problems or clips.

 

Accessories Included

It comes with Braun’s Clean & Charge Station, a 5-in-1 styling kit, and a travel case. The accessories are:

• Precision trimmer – Trims beard, sideburns, and clean lines.
• Protective foil head – Soothes sensitive skin gently.
• Efficiency mode attachment –Perfect for quick shaving and not much time to waste.
• AutoSense technology – Power mode adjusts automatically based on beard thickness.

Carrying these attachments makes the 9577cc more of an all-purpose grooming tool than a standard shaver.

 

 

Shaving Performance: Cutting-edge Technology

Four Cutting Elements for Maximum Efficiency:

The Braun Series 9 PRO+ 9577cc features four synchronized cutting elements:

• Direct & Cut Trimmer –Captures flat-lying hairs before cutting.
• HyperLift & Cut Foil –Picks up longer, more stubborn hairs.
• SkinGuard Foil –Protects sensitive skin from stinging.
• Titanium-coated blades –Stay sharp for longer than regular steel.

The multi-directional cutting system catches even the most stubborn hairs and snips them out efficiently.

 

AutoSense Technology: Intelligent Shaving

One of the attributes is the AutoSense technology, which senses beard density and changes power automatically (up to 40,000 cross-cutting strokes per minute). When you have dense stubble, the motor provides more power and less when you are providing a quick touch-up to conserve battery and avoid irritation.

 

Real-World Shaving Experience

• Close Shave: Provides a close-to-razor finish in one or two strokes.
• Comfort: Much gentler than before, even on sensitive skin.
• Speed: Efficient for daily use, though very thick beards may require extra passes.

Compared to manual razors, it doesn’t quite match the closeness, but it’s the best electric shaver we’ve tested in this regard.

 

Battery Life & Charging

Here are the battery and charging details of the Braun Series 9 PRO+ 9577cc Electric Razor:

Long-Lasting Power

The Series 9 PRO+ offers:

• 60 minutes of cordless runtime (enough for ~3 weeks of daily shaves).
• 5-minute quick charge for one full shave (great for emergencies).
• LED display showing battery status and cleaning reminders.

 

Clean & Charge Station

The included cleaning station is a huge time-saver:

• Turns off and dries the shaver automatically, and lubricates in each clean.
• Sanitize blades with Braun’s alcohol-based disinfectant cleaner.
• It takes about 30 minutes for the full clean cycle.
• Drawback? The new replacement cleaning cartridges cost about a bit (~$20 per pack).

 

Cleaning & Maintenance

You must consider the cleaning and maintenance features mentioned here:

Self-Cleaning vs. Manual Cleaning

1. Self-Cleaning Mode (usage of station): Overall easiest of all—just push it in, and it’s disinfected in minutes.
2. Manual Cleaning: The shaver is fully waterproof (IPX7 rated), and can be cleaned under running water.

Blade & Foil Replacement

• Recommended every 18 months for optimum performance.
• Replacement cost: ~$50 for foils & blades.

Last Word: Who Is It For?

✔ Individuals with sensitive skin who need a mild but effective shaver.

✔ Users who value convenience (self-cleaning station, quick charging).

Not Ideal For:

✖ Budget buyers (there is a cheaper alternative).

✖ Individuals with very thick, coarse beards (may need to be rubbed many times).

✖ Travelers (larger than some).

• Rating: 4.7/5
• Performance: 5/5
• Comfort: 5/5
• Features: 4.5/5
• Value for Money: 4/5

The Bottom Line:
