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 Philips Norelco Shaver head will fit the series 5, that of the Series 5 won’t fit the Series 7. Despite this flaw, the trimmer works best for detailing (sideburns, goatees etc.).
Please double-check which model you are purchasing, as it can be a bit confusing. There are Braun Series s, 5145s and 5190cc in the same category. The only one included with the charging and cleaning station is the Braun Series cc, and the others are not. Braun Series Remington Shaver cc is an excellent choice for a reasonable price for those who prefer having the machine self-clean rather than cleaning it manually after each shave. The shaver head is flexible and can be directed in 8 directions to make sure constant skin contact and even shaving.
When the level indicator blinks red, the cartridge needs to be replaced – about every 4 weeks when used daily. Switch on the shaver and rinse the shaver head under hot running water until all residues have been removed. You may use liquid soap without abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam and let the shaver run for a few more seconds.
Not sure what the ” recharging stand” is as it just plugs into the wall with a cord…charged quickly. Happy with my purchase and it appears replacement heads are affordable and the heads last. These are called charging studs and when they make contact with the included cleaning station, the battery will instantly begin to charge.
The cleaning cartridge can last for a maximum of 4 weeks if used daily. The level indicator will blink red when the time has come to replace the cartridge. This shaver is 100% waterproof up to 5m of water, so there is no issue if you want to use the shaver while showering. Some of us prefer to shave while shaving to save time, so Braun Series cc is the perfect choice for that. The battery life I got was decent along with superior blades.
And the results would have been much better also. And I was really thorough with it and spent quite a bit of time doing it. There’s a cutout below the shaving unit covered by two rubber flaps. And that’s a bit odd since all of them are actually compatible with the stations shipped with the 2020 Series 7 and 6 . So it’s overall a quiet razor, although not by any means as quiet as a rotary.
