Braun Unveils New Study Revealing Key to Success in Daily Morning Routine; Launches “Morning by Design”

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–As daylight savings officially comes to a close, Braun, the world’s most
trusted* grooming brand, has teamed up with Dr. Michael Breus, sleep
doctor and best-selling author, to unveil the secret to success in work,
life and love. In partnership with Dr. Breus, Braun reveals how we can
all become better in the morning, and the critical, yet often
underestimated, factor of grooming. Through Morning by Design,
Braun is giving men the tools, down to the smallest detail, to put them
in control of their morning, and boost their performance so they are
prepared to take on their day.

According to Dr. Breus, the best time of the year to change your routine
is in autumn when the clocks go back. He further explains that achieving
that morning person feeling is not as difficult as many would think.
With a little dedication and the right routine, consumers nationwide can
experience the morning benefits they thought were impossible.

“An area of the morning routine that has seen a large growth of focus is
grooming,” adds Dr. Breus. “Men have never been more under the
microscope than we are today and are keen to ensure the grooming regime
plays an integral role.”

And, it’s the tools by Braun that make men achieve their sharpest look
setting a new standard of excellence. Braun offers a wide portfolio of
grooming products, including electric shavers (Series 3, Series 5,
Series 7, Series 9), suitable for men at nearly any age. The Braun
Series 9 includes a SyncroSonic™ head with five unique shaving elements
– each specialized for different types of hair – is designed to capture
more hair in one stroke (than any other shaver) and ensure users don’t
miss flat lying hair or hair growing in different directions. Because of
its incredible attention to detail, the Series 9 is a must have for the
man who won’t compromise on the shave in his daily routine.

“It’s all about being efficient with your mornings! When you travel as
much as I do, I can rarely stick to the preferred routine I am used to
from home, but using a Braun is one of the few elements of my morning
routine I never have to worry about,” shares Scott Schuman, Founder of
The Sartorialist. “Your performance can drop when you aren’t feeling
your best, and I know I can count on the Braun Series 9 to deliver
extraordinary results.”

Through a new study of nearly 450 men**, Braun has unveiled that by
making subtle shifts in daily morning habits, the body clock can be
manipulated to make mornings not only more tolerable, but help with our
daily outlook. If optimized, a person’s morning routine can boost
energy, increase focus and build self-esteem.

This new research has allowed Braun and Dr. Breus to design a matrix
allowing people to uncover their ideal morning routine by answering a
few questions to identify their body clock personality. By utilizing the Morning
by Design calculator, consumers nationwide can design their perfect
routine, set objectives for the day and achieve them*.

“We are proud to share our research and launch Morning by Design,
which focuses on how the secret of success starts with a great shave,
and the importance of designing your morning routine to boost confidence
and tackle the day,” describes Sascha Breuer, Braun Grooming Expert.

The Braun portfolio of electric shavers, including the Braun Series 9 is
available for purchase at Amazon.com, Walmart.com, and Target.com, as
well as online at braun.com.
