Sorry I can't be more helpful, but DH has a Braun and likes it.

DH loves his Norelco but I don't know the difference between the screen and round kinds.

My DH hates the screen. the screen wears down fast because he shaves his face everyday and he has pretty course, stubbon facial hair. Within about a month there is always a hole in the screen.

He loves the 3 round ones. They don't wear down like that. It seems to be a lot stronger. We just have to buy the 3 round blade replacements once they start going dull. But, not too often.

My dh uses a Norelco, and hasn't complained about it - and he has a really heavy beard.
