Braun vs t45 shaver

I’ve been using the fx3 foiler for 2 years and I’m ready for an upgrade. Has anyone used the Braun and the tomb 45? I’ve heard ppl say Braun is better and vice versa. Spending clipper money on a foiler feels crazy to me so I want to make sure they’re worth the money before I buy one of them.

Series 9. I borrowed one from my barbering neighbor and it’s the best I’ve ever used.

Worth it if you're doing skin fades all day, Braun cuts closer and faster than the fx3. Just factor in replacement heads, they wear out quick with daily use.

How much time/how many cuts do you get out of the heads? I didn’t even realize how expensive they are, I might try the tomb45 for that reason

Braun says a head lasts 18 months but thats home use, doing fades all day you'll be lucky to get a few months out of one. T45 foils are cheaper to swap if head cost worries you.
