The Braun Cruzer 6 is a unique little personal grooming tool. It is intended for use on your face and head which means it is essentially a multi-tool. What Braun did was create a strong, sturdy little handheld device that does nothing more than trimming. In other words, if you have ever owned a well-designed, electric shaver that had the best pop-up trimmer you have ever used and wished someone would just design the trimmer as a stand alone product – well, you just got your wish.
The Cruzer 6 beard and head trimmer features a unique dual battery system. What this does is provide the extra power needed to cut through a particularly thick beard and the hair on your head. The dual battery system provides a strong and constant power level which ensures an even trim every time by eliminating the problems that may come from trimming as a battery begins to fade. The precision trimmer is designed specifically to reach into those hard to get at spots on your face or head without problem. This also means that a consistent trim is possible as the handheld device will more easily adapt to follow the contours of your face and head with the sleeker trimmer head design.
This innovative Braun beard trimmer is versatile as well with numerous length settings. For example, the beard comb that clips onto the trimmer provides you with a total of six different settings for trimming lengths of between 1 and 11-millimetres. These different settings allow you to create your very own style depending on your lifestyle and the look you are trying to achieve. The hair comb has an additional six length settings for longer hair between 10 and 20-millimetres. The pair of combs is designed to click and lock into place and length settings can be changed with a flick of a finger.
Braun Cruzer 6 works fast.
Even if you choose to not use any of the Braun Cruzer 6 length trimming combs, the stainless steel trimmers are “ultra sharp” providing fast, clean and precise trimming which is perfect for styling and shaping. Clean up is simple and fast as the entire casing that the body of the trimmer is made out of is completely waterproof. This means you can simply hold it under a running tap and that will help flush away and head and beard trimmings that are still present after brushing or tapping it clean.
Additional features include an on board LED indicator that will tell you at a glance when the unit requires charging, how much charge is left and that it is charging. The battery requires just a single hour charging in order to provide a full 40-minutes of trimming time. As this handheld grooming tool is rechargeable, you can use it either corded or cordless, which is an attractive option for men on the go or who travel a lot and need small, convenient items to take with them.
What existing users think
Online reviews of the Braun Cruzer 6 are positive with many features noted as being attractive to the consumer. The sleek, lightweight design and shape are noted frequently as positives as well as the cordless operation option. The trimming blades are sharp, but are angled in such a way that it is virtually impossible to get cut by them, even without the blade guard in place – another great feature. The precision of the trimmer cutting and the variety of length adjustment settings also make this a great tool for beard and head trimming.
The negatives noted for the Braun Cruzer 6 are few but include the need for frequent cleaning. For some users this is an issue and although the manufacturer has designed this with a dual battery system, some users found it not as powerful as they had hoped. As a head trimmer, this product scores high marks, its size and shape makes it much easier to use on the back of your head than a standard electric shaver. This is one of our reasons for including it in our Best Head Shaver list. The Braun Cruzer 6 is a handy tool that will do a good job and won’t cost you a bundle in the process.
