Can the 790cc be connected to the charger while in use? Or the only way to charge it is to have it face down in the cradle?

Thanx guys.

(That's one of the main features I look for before buying a shaver.)

There are a lot of comments about the Braun here, but does anyone have the Norelco 3D http://tinyurl.com/mqjfvz5 and care to review it?

Are there any halachic issues with it? Is there a 'list' of halachically compliant shavers?

I see on Bed bath and beyond a 799 cc. Is that the newer model of the 790cc that everyone is talking about?

The norelco sensotouch 3D has big slots for long hairs. Does anyone know if this presents a shaila as far as the kashrus goes?

I need to figure out what to do before Rosh Hashana.

When I called the Rabbi everyone told me to call he said " throw the shaver in the lake".

So you ask a Rov, didn't like his answer, and now you're asking the internets?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Well he told me he was giving me the 'Elul version' of his psak and I don't want to have to fish the shaver out of the lake on Rosh Chodesh Tishrei.

In any event I was referred to him because he knows which ones are kosher not because I wanted an excuse not to shave.

But I guess it's too much to expect sympathy from you Dan on this topic.

Just bought a Braun 799cc for $269 then 20 percent off

I did the hair test with the foil and it seems fine, does anyone have experience with this shaver?

Any recommendations for a kosher shaver for sensitive skin?
Is foil better than rotary?

According to R' Dovid Feinstein the only kosher ones are the lift and cuts with the lifts removed
i think it's because they don't make them as sharp
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Just bought the 9000 series norelco with SH90 blade
the lift and cut is changed and is not removable, I am not sure how this can be koshered

What's different about it, making it impossible to remove?

there is no wording of "Lift and cut " for model 9000 series of norelco.
checked the box, the manual, the website
checked the blade and do not see any lift and cut blade on it.

here is a detailed review

https://moo.review/philips-norelco-9300-and-9700-electric-shaver-review/


Norleco uses a V -Track cutting blade system now ... 

I would love to see some literature on the kosher-ness of that

According to this star-K article from 2012    https://www.star-k.org/articles/kashrus-kurrents/563/electric-shavers/

you can test the sharpness of the blade with a hair and see if it is too sharp, since there is no lift and cut involved
