Good for a shaver within its price range and does the job OK, with effort though. For head-shaving the model that comes with extra attachments might be best suited. A user can trim the hair on their head first before shaving with the foils. However, these attachments are never as good to use compared to using a dedicated trimmer and I find these attachments next to useless.
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.
This thing has decent sleeves to ensure there aren’t any electricity leakage and short circuits while the battery is feeding on some juice. Braun is no stranger to “Good” shaving products. They nail it when it comes to entry-level and high-end electric razors. Users who’re looking to get a middle ground of sorts, convert to Phillips and Panasonic to get their fill.
The new shavers are a complete departure from the current Series 5 that we all know. While it does have some minor flaws here and there the Series 5 should be your starting point if you want a fine example of a good foil shave. But achieving the perfect clean took a fair bit of time, more than you will have to spare if you are already running late for work. It is recommended that you clean your Series 5 shaver after each and every use. Holding the Braun Series 5 in your hand is a comfortable experience. The shaver is nicely weighted and has a premium feel to it.
This is best used when movement would make shaving tricky, like just above your upper lip. Unlike all the other electric shaving brands, Braun’s cleaning cartridges are alcohol based. Oddly enough, the cleaning station looks near identical to that found in the box of Braun’s top Remington Shaver end shaver, the Series 9. It’s definitely one of the better looking cleaning docks on the market. As you can see in the image above, it is pretty straightforward to engage the pop-up precision trimmer. You need to push the button at the back and slide the precision trimmer.
The corded use is one tradeoff I’ll make any time and day of the week. I’d keep this one ahead of some of the rotary Philips Norelco Shaver shavers. Rotary shavers run the risk of pulling on your beard and skin while you go about your shaving routine.
I am convinced that flexible heads are a must on foil shavers, the difference they make in terms of comfort is surprising . 1 full charge provides up to 3 weeks’ worth of shaving. 5 min quick charge is sufficient for 1 full shave. Braun Series cc is equipped with a high-performance and high-capacity battery that can last up to 50 minutes with 1 hour of charging. Ordinary people spend at least 5 minutes shaving daily, and with this model, you can use it for at least ten days before you need to recharge. Braun Series cc is the most expensive Braun Series 5 lineup and comes with a Clean and Charge station.
