I thought it had always been Braun as in brown...but that might be because I had a German teacher called Herr Braun

Hitler was Austrian so his views on the German pronunciation would be equally as invalid as mine.

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else

The shaver company, being originally German, will have pronounced it "brown" as that's the German pronunciation of the word.

However, English advertising has always (at least in my lifetime) used the "brawn" pronunciation.

It may be that as we're now more globalised, we're only getting one advertising agency's view, which is a) consistent

2) correct

I like the word Brawn... In my head it's a solid and muscular guy. I would also pronounce the razor the same way... Brawn.

I don't like the jelly stuff you get around meet which I think is also called brawn.

God, I need to get a life
