Being suitable for wet/dry use, you can also shave in the shower or with your favorite cream or gel. In fact, I can’t really find any compelling reason to pay more for a Series 7. The replacement shaving heads used by Philips Norelco Shaver the Series 5 are also cheaper compared to the ones needed for the Series 7. The long hair trimmer on the Series cc/5190cc is positioned on the back of the shaver and it’s very handy for sideburn shaping and the likes.
It features 3 flexible shaving elements that treat softly with the facial skin while shaving to ensure maximum shaving comfort. Like other Series 5 shavers, the Braun 5190cc is also a wet/dry shaver. So you can use your favorite shaving cream, foam, gel, water for refreshing shaves. The Braun 5190cc comes with a rechargeable Li-ion battery that provides 50 minutes of continuous cordless performance with 1-hour full charge. It features an auto-sense motor that can read your beard density and provides adequate power according to the density.

On the other hand, the display screen of Series 7 is positioned at the bottom. Older models have quite a dim light, making it hard to read in low light conditions. Braun did make an effort to fix it, yet the display screen of this series is still subpar to their lower-end sibling.
Series 5 has a larger body but feels well-balanced in hand. The shavers from both series come with a textured plastic wrap for a more secure grip for both dry and wet shaving. The shaving blade systems in Series 5 and 7 are fairly similar. They consist of two foils with a trimmer mechanism located in between.
Other than that, the blades are sharp enough and give a close shave. It performs perfectly well on the cheeks and neck without having to go over any spot multiple times. However, we do notice that the motor is perhaps less powerful than earlier models as it struggles with some areas. It is noteworthy Braun Series 5 that these shaving elements are flexible. This means when going through different facial contours, depending on the degree of pressure put on these blades they move in up and down directions. They move independently of each other but are synchronized for better shaving performance.
There is no doubt that the Series 5 is in a whole other league compared to shaving with the series 3. But if you are feeling frugal or are in circumstances where you have to count every penny then there are websites dedicated to making your own cleaning solution. One particular area I did have problems with where the hairs right under the bridge of my nose. It took some maneuvering but I was eventually able to slay these odd looking hairs. Braun does not appear to have made any effort to dampen the vibrations and every thunderous stroke of the internal motor is felt in the palm of your hand.
