Braun Activator's new foil has a revolutionary new pattern featuring 4 differently shaped and sized holes in 5 different positions. This offers 20 different hair-capturing opportunities compared with just 1 from a regular foil.
The oscillating movement of the shaver head combined with the new foil pattern, effectively captures and cuts more exposed hair in fewer strokes.
The new Clean&Charge offers three different cleaning programs to meet three different cleaning needs: Eco: One cleaning cycle for people who clean every day.
Smart Logic monitors the battery performance and services the battery when needed by discharging and recharging it automatically. So maximum power delivery is guaranteed for the best possible shaving performance.
The interactive LCD panel provides clear information on charge status, shaving habits, when intensive cleaning is required, and the condition of the battery (Smart Logic).

Summary: A best-buy, even when compared to newer models
Comment: The pressure facing health and beauty grooming appliances is tough... they have to constantly think of new and better ways to improve their products, EVEN THOUGH they may have already reached a technological ceiling. It's because of the competitive nature of business. They could make subtle improvements in an existing shaver and price it less, but people won't buy it because there isn't some compelling difference. So, companies keep trying to invent catch phrases and ambiguous functionality.
How much better can a foil shaver get? Braun reached a major pinnacle with the 7000 series. The Syncro line was the first introducing a head cleaning system, as well as a faster motor with side-to-side vibration. You take a shave with a 7000 series and the new 7 series, and guess what? You won't feel a noticeable difference. [...]
But the 7000 series isn't as well built as the 8000 series. The 7000 series had some issues, most notably with the cleaner (the securing clasp weakens and won't hold the shaver in place) and the shaver casing. My 7000 still works, but the side grips have warped. And it's noisier than the 8000 series. My 8595 is solidly built. It works quickly, doesn't become hot to the touch, and charges fully within 60 minutes--enough to last almost two weeks. The cleaning station is a notable improvement over the 7000 series.
As some other reviewers have pointed out, you don't need to use the cleaning station after each shave. I use mine once every couple of weeks, then recap it and put it away. In between, I just dump the whiskers into the sink after each shave. This makes the fluid last about 20 times as long.
I also tried the newer 790cc series (borrowed from a friend). I did a shaving comparison with the 8595 on one side and the 790cc on the other. Guess what? No difference. Plus, the 8595 has the LCD technology that gives you more information (Braun removed this to save $$ on production costs in the later models).
So, in my book, this is the best foil shaver you can get. Well, the 8995 model is basically the same, with just some minor cosmetic changes to the casing.
If you're cost conscious and looking for the optimal Braun shaver, look no further than the 8595 or 8995. :-)

Ultimate shaving performance. Unique to you. The new Activator shaving system easily removes any hair type on your face, even in problem zones. The revolutionary foil has a new geometry with different shaped holes. This combined with the shaver head, which moves in 4 directions, ensures that any individual hair growth pattern is captured effortlessly in few strokes. The unique Clean&Charge system automatically selects the best out of three cleaning programs based upon how much cleaning your shaver needs. It automatically recharges the battery at the same time, leaving your shaver always fully powered and thoroughly cleaned.
