A cross between an electric shaver and a rocket ship, it’s an impressive tool that gets the job done. The new Braun 360° Complete Men’s Shaver leaves you shorn like a sheep without any discomfort.

Here’s what we understand: there’s a comb that lifts hair and a foil pattern that grabs it from all directions, then it gets cut three times, and there you go. Soft, smooth, stubble-free skin without nicks, cuts, or razor burn. Oh, and when you put the thing back in its charger, it cleans itself. How easy is that?

But does it work? Our friend hasn’t shaven for years, maybe even since high school. So when we asked him if he could please just once be clean-shaven, just so we could see, he protested. But we shoved him in the bathroom anyway.

Ten minutes later, out comes a clean, polished, and professional 10-years-younger man. Instant makeover! He pouted for a while, but all day he couldn’t keep his hands off his smooth new style… we think he approves.
