Title: Significantly better than 5000 series
Product review: I am a long time Braun shaver user. I had recently bought a replacement blade and foil for my 2-year old 5000 series shaver. The foil tore and scratched me after only about a month of use, so I decided to upgrade to the 8000 series.I'm getting a much closer and smoother (less irritation) shave with the 8000. I can tell because my "5:00 shadow" is much reduced from before. The other advantages are:1) Much quieter than the 5000 series2) Shaver runs off the battery so you don't have to keep it plugged in like the 5000 series. My 5000 series shaver ran noticeably faster (and better) when plugged in even though it could run un-plugged. This was true from day 1, so had nothing to do with a worn out battery.3) Battery indicator so you know when to rechargeConclusion: You are getting much better performance if you upgrade to an 8000 series shaver and it is worth the extra money.
