The Braun Series 8 8617S is a premium wet & dry electric shaver designed for users who want a close, comfortable shave with better control around tricky facial areas.
Its strongest selling point is not only the premium Series 8 name. The real advantage is the 4+1 synchronized shaving system, 40° flexible compact head, SensoAdapt beard-density technology, and built-in Precision ProTrimmer.
This makes it a strong option for users who want a premium shave without moving all the way to the highest Series 9 tier.
4+1 Synchronized Shaving Elements
The Series 8 shaving system uses 4+1 synchronized elements to capture hair growing in different directions while helping protect the skin during each stroke.
