Until now I’ve been under the impression that the Braun series 9 is Kosher straight out of the box. Was looking to buy a new one and noticed on the website that it clearly says lift and cut. Is this a new thing or were they never kosher? Or are they still kosher?

Rabbi forshimor in lakewood and many others said it's fine to use.

Subject: RE: Star-K Ask the Rabbi Request
To: 

Hello,
There are two types of shavers on the market.  There is the straight-edge foil shaver, and there is the rotary shaver with three rotating heads (such as the Norelco shavers). 
Rabbi Heinemann is of the opinion that all straight-edge foil shavers cut hair with a scissors action and are included within Rav Moshe Feinstein's heter to use shavers, but not all rotary shavers are included.    Whether or not any particular rotary shaver is included within the heter would depend upon the sharpness of the cutting blades in the rotary head.  If the blades are sharp enough that they would be classified as a razor and not as scissors, those blades would not be included in the heter and would need to be slightly dulled before using the shaver. 
Rabbi Heinemann is not concerned about the lift and cut mechanism.
The Braun series nine is a straight-edge shaver, which is fine.

If I understand correctly, it is a machlokes between Rav Dovid Feinstein and Rav Heinemann.

All shavers have that problem. Use a OneBlade for that

Ask a rav, i personally asked a respected rav about the one blade and he said not to use them, although i heard that r shmuel kamenetzky says they are better than regular shavers

I have sensitive skin and the Braun 790 does a good job for me. However I’m basically limited to shaving once in three days. If I need to shave two days in a row, will use beard oil or lectric shave before.

Anyone heard any recent psak for the Braun 8 series shaver?

 Is it the same as the 9?

To me it seems it's missing one of the blades the series 9 has, so I would think for sure it's okay?
