Yes, there’s the issue of a travel cap instead of a pouch. I’d have liked the trimmer attachment to be a bit straighter rather than being curved. I loved how the guys maintained the level of performance with this as well as the price.
The Foil gives the closest shaves from an electric Razor, however nothing is better than steel blades for close evening entertainment. Change cleaning cartridge at least every 8 weeks. The lock symbol lights up in the display when the shaver has been locked to avoid unintended starting of the motor (e.g. for storing it in a suitcase). To shave hard-to-reach areas (e.g. under the nose) slide the MultiHeadLock switch down to lock the shaver head. The shaver head can be locked in five positions. The charge status is shown in the shaver display .During charging the respective charging segment will blink.

You’ll find a rubberized grip that covers the sides of this product. I expected the boys to compensate with a textured, long grip to complement wet shaving. With the price hovering between $140 – $160, this is one product that packs the punch when it comes to performance and maintenance. I got the “Full” Braun treatment with the package when it arrived. If the shaver is regularly cleaned with water, apply a drop of light machine oil on top of the foil once a week for lubrication.

It’s fairly quiet and does not vibrate too much in comparison to others.
The cleaning cartridge also contains lubricants for the shaving system, which may leave residual marks on the outer foil frame and the cleaning chamber of the C&C. These marks can be removed easily by wiping gently with a damp cloth. As I have mentioned above, these attachments are close to useless in my experience and dedicated trimmers or groomers work much better.
The 5018s is a decent, but quite basic electric shaver and it’s a pretty good choice for a first electric shaver. As long as you don’t have particularly difficult facial hair and you don’t need the closest shave, it should be good enough. I’m a fan of how thorough the brand is in terms of foil shavers and the cleaning.
While this is just another marketing word, it essentially means that the Series 7 shaver uses micro vibrations which help lift flat laying hairs. If you looked closely at the photo above you may have noticed small, black oval shaped button in the center of the shaver. Even if something presses up against the power button, the shaver won’t turn on. The Braun Series 5 is definitely one of the nicer looking shavers on the market. The black color scheme with silver and red highlights has really had some thought put into it.
