It gives you a better middle trimmer that will give you a closer shave. The 5 Series has a more detailed handle display, too. The charging and cleansing station has more actions. Every plus and benefit you have with the Series 3 is a step above with the Series 5.
The only difference between the two shaving units is that the molding on the Series 5 shaving unit is slightly longer. Because of this, while the Series 7 shaving head will fit the series 5, that of the Series 5 won’t fit the Series 7. When travel lock is activated, a red padlock will appear on the Series 5 display screen . Pressing and holding the power button for another 3 seconds will disable travel lock. Includes a Beard Trimmer attachment for beard styles from 0.5mm to 7mm. The Series cc has some advanced features that aren’t available in the Series s.
You have to go over repeatedly, or in my case, go over with my old Norelco I wanted to replace. If I shave again the next day, I am happy with this Braun, otherwise it is a disappointment. But what if you purchased a Series 5 model that does not come with a cleaning station. Or maybe you want to take your shaver on Remington Shaver vacation and don’t want the worry of bringing it along. The amount of cleaning required is determined by the amount of time the shaver has been used, not by how dirty the shaving heads actually are. I will look at the using the cleaning station to charge your electrical shaver further down in the cleaning section.
Let’s cover the similarities before uncovering the differences in the two shavers. First, the 3050cc and the 5030s have an ergonomic grip. The shavers won’t slip from your hand when the handle is wet. That’s vital when you’re shaving with foam or gel.
Therefore, the older generation Braun Series 5 shavers are pretty more advanced and easier to clean. With the Braun Series 5 50-B1000s Blue, you get a shaver which has a 360-degree rotating shaver head. This means the shaver foils follow the contours of your face precisely. You can use this fully waterproof Braun under the shower, with shaving foam, or dry on your skin.
The second shave I used a shave oil because I couldn’t see how well it was doing with the foam. Although I could see better, the quality fo the shave was low. It’s a shaver that’s just above budget-friendly and is better than much cheaper models, but as mentioned above it’s a good shaver but not great. It’s fairly quiet and does not vibrate too much in comparison to others. As usual, I spent about a month using and testing out the Braun Series 5 electric shaver to maximize how it performs.
The designs of both versions are completely different. The older Braun Series 5 shavers come in a straight design that feels like the highest-end Braun Series 9. But the new generation Series 5 shavers come in an irregular shape. The shape has been engineered for making the device lightweight and user-friendly. But most of the users still find the older shape more comfortable. However, the new design fits in grasp more accurately since it’s slimmer and lighter than the older ones.
A user may run water through the whole shaver’s head and water runs through the bottom of the head with any shaving debris. 2020 New generation – It’s worth noting that this shaver is from the 2020 new generation of series 5 shavers. There have been some changes since the pre-2020 models with pros and cons, but let’s stick to the current versions for this review article. The 5020cs, 5018s, 5035s, 5049cs, 5050cs are the US models, and the 50-B1200s, 50-W4650cs, 50-M4500cs , 50-W1500s , 50-B4650cs are the EU/UK models.
