But the head of the older generation series 5 shavers are fully flexible. As a result, the older models can pivot 8 directions and adapt to the skin contact more accurately. The secured rubber grip of the shaver has been textured for making the grasp comfortable and risk-free. The EasyClean shaver is 100% washable that makes the cleaning process easier and safer. The foil elements are flexible enough to make the shaving process softer and comforter.
Braun’s cleaning stations work the best out of all the major brands and the Series 7 did not disappoint. The alcohol based cleaning detergent thoroughly removed all traces of hair clippings and even lubricated the blades. I will look at the using the cleaning station to charge your electrical shaver further down in the cleaning section. Etched into the trimmer molding are the words “Made in Germany”.
Having the same efficiency that Series 7 and Series 9 can deliver, the Series 5 has some great models also. They are designed to capture Braun Series 5 the most hair on a single pass. With just one stroke of the shaver, you will get a clean shave every time with less effort.
Once the cleaning cycle has ended, the drying process will begin. Well, the station doesn’t do anything active in order to dry the shaving head, but being alcohol-based, the solution will simply evaporate after 3 hours or so. The cleaning cartridge is made in Ireland, the cleaning station is made in Hungary, while the charging cord, cleaning brush and travel case are made in China. 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 considered the Arc razors, but have ruled them out because they don’t have the additional long hair trimmer feature, which I use on my 7526 all the time. For this reason I would actually lean more toward the Series 5 in your case. Definitely get a pre-shave as well; my current favorite is from a brand called Freelette and it works great. The ES-LA63 doesn’t include a cleaning station, but it is a breeze to clean manually. If however the station is a must-have, it is available in the ES-LA93-K variation.
Overall, shaving with either series is quite loud, which is a caveat of electric shavers. It not only gives the electric shaver a sleeker look but makes it easier to get around hard-to-reach areas like the jawline or Adam’s apple. The main difference I found in the new system is the easy clean technology where you do not need to open the head chamber for a clean. The system offers you cleaning the foils with a new process where you need to water the neck of the shaver from direct tape water.
Each cartridge, if not used daily, should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks to ensure optimal disinfection. 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. When a cleaning cartridge is installed, do not tip, move suddenly or transport the station in any way as cleaning fluid might spill out of the cartridge. Regarding the cleaning, warm tap water and optionally some liquid soap would probably be the best option .
