Strengths: Quicker and closer than the Braun Activator...with a little shaving cream this gives you the best shave ever
Summary: The shave also has a self cleaning system that is easy to use and it charges the razor at the same time. You can clean this razor with just soap and water it f like, so if you are on a business trip, you don't need to worry about the charging/cleaning unit. The shave is as close as a blade without the nicks and cuts and you can shave in the shower if you prefer. Buy the cheapest shaving cream and it will make the razor glide across your beard. It's a great razor and by the way, you can't overcharge it. Try it for the best shave ever.

Strengths: Easy, very close shave, very little to no skin irritation (muc less than blade), recharging and cleaning station works well--all in all a very fuss free shaver; highly recommended!
Summary: This is my second Panasonic linear shaver, as I just bought the 8077 to replace my aging 8095. The 8095 was very good and served me well for 2 years, but I was amazed how much better the new 8077 was. For me, the 8077 shaves closer than a blade with a whole lot less effort and no blood loss to boot! You have to learn how hard to hold the shaver against your skin for the best results (soft touch works best for me), as it will irritate or even slightly nick (nothing like a blade--very slight) your skin if you press too hard. I originally thought the cleaning station was a gimmick, but it has turned out to be anything but. It sure is nice to have a fully charged, dry and cleaned shaver every day!
If you are on the fence not wanting to spend this much on an electric shaver, take comfort in knowing this shaver is probably better than anything else you've tried--including a blade. I've used Norelco, Braun, and most of the triple+ blade shavers, and this one wins hands down. It's worth the money.
