Inside the Series 5; the Lithium-ion battery takes an hour to charge and provides 45 minutes of shaving time. I was able to get a full shaves out of it before having to recharge the battery. Only disadvantage being that you cannot use this device when plugged in. If you don’t mind cleaning your shaver manually and you are comfortable using shaving creams, then 5040s is really a good find.
I think it will also be a significant update from your current Series 5. There’s no lubricant included with the Braun Series s, but you can use any light oil like sewing machine oil, clipper oil or even a spray lubricant for electric shavers. None of the new Series 5 models are available with an automatic cleaning station. If you’re in a hurry, the quick charge function can come in handy. Charging the shaver for 5 minutes should provide just enough juice to complete a shave.
Braun recommends replacing the Series 5 cutter blades and foil every 12 to 18 months to keep you looking good and feeling comfortable. As you know, the old-fashioned razors irritate and cause minimal damage to the skin surface. For that reason, the electric razor stands out as a prominent alternative and this product starts to get a… The model has 10,000 micro-pulsations with an efficient lift-and-cut mechanism. These pulsations help you get a closer shave off long, flat-lying hairs with fewer strokes. Unfortunately, the Braun series does not come with this function.
If that’s how you use a trimmer in the majority of the time, you probably won’t like the trimmer attachment shipped with the Series s. They’re always there and extremely handy when you need to cut a stubborn hair or shape your sideburns. I’d say that the experience is very similar to the Braun Series 3 ProSkin, which isn’t particularly flattering. As mentioned previously, I personally find the new Series 5 a bit underpowered.
The shaver is essentially the same, but these models differ in terms of the accessories they come with. Along with a roundish shape, Philips Norelco Shaver there is also a considerable decrease in the width. The combination of these factors makes it fit into your palm perfectly.
In this article, we will be taking a look at the Remington Shaver shaver. We also have reviews of the other series’ shavers on this site which you can take a look at too. The motor feels and sounds powerful, and has a stronger vibration than my previous shaver, a Philips rotary. The stronger vibration takes a little bit of getting used to when you’re against bone. The battery life is very good – more than a month between charges with daily use.
Overall, the shaver is a smart solution for men who want advanced shaving results in a mid-range budget. I only shave every 2 or 3 days (I’m retired and can get away with that). Unfortunately, if I do that this razor does not cut all the beard growth and leaves hairs. 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. The Li-ion battery will ensure up to 50 minutes worth of cordless use, with the option of a 5-minute quick charge function.
Do not use this appliance with a damaged or broken foil, as serious skin injuries may occur. Except when charging, always unplug this appliance from the electrical outlet immediately after using. Do not place, store or charge the appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink. Never be without your favourite Boots products with our international delivery options. I understand how tough it can be to find a good razor most of the time, as well as the common shaving issues. I started this website to stop other people from making the same mistakes I did.
The shave heads remain cool throughout the grooming process, while many other competing models get hot within the first few minutes. Some advanced models of new generation Series 5 shavers come with attachment trimming combs. The combs are used to trim the beard in different lengths. That is a completely new experience with the Braun Series 5. If you see the older generation Braun Series 5 shavers, there is no facility to trim the beard in different lengths. Even there is no option to use a trimming comb on the built-in trimmer.
Depending on your Clean&Charge Station model and/or program selected, the cleaning time takes up to 3 minutes. It takes several hours until remaining moisture evaporates depending on the climatic conditions. So the 5018s should be better than your current shaver in that regard and quite a lot better than the slide-out trimmer on the 3040s which is in my opinion pretty bad. Considering that you’ll be using the trimmer most of the time and occasionally the actual shaving head, the new Series 5 looks like a good option.
