The foils always remained cool, maybe only slightly warm towards the end of the shave. I again recommend using the Series s on shorter facial hair to avoid any potential discomfort. I personally have very sensitive and dry skin, especially on the neck, but didn’t have any major Philips Norelco Shaver issues using the 5018s. It sounds and feels a bit sluggish and you will notice it if you have very coarse hair or you’re shaving less often. It tends to be a bit jerky and sticks to the skin occasionally. This can make shaving more tedious and lead to a longer session.
Therefore, the new generation Series 5 shavers really get an up for this facility. Braun 5195cc is the most recent model of the existing version. The Braun 9195cc also comes with an automatic cleaning and charging station that automatically cleans, dries, lubricates, and charges the device. The shaving head flexes 8 directions to adapt with the skin contact and provide efficient shave with maximum shaving comfort. The elements can move up-down independently while making a stroke and the operation feels very enjoyable. I love its design with secured rubber grip that feels very comfortable and secured while using even with wet hands.
As I mentioned earlier in the review, you can lock the shaving unit into one of 5 different positions using the big button on the front of the shaver. This is best used when movement would make shaving tricky, like just above your upper lip. Oddly enough, the cleaning station looks near identical to that found in the box of Braun’s top end shaver, the Series 9.
If the shaver is regularly cleaned with water, apply a drop of light machine oil on top of the foil once a week for lubrication. Sometimes charging could start delayed (e.g. after long storage). After having pressed the lift button to open the housing, wait for a few seconds before removing the used cartridge to avoid any dripping.
The 5090cc; 5030s; 5020s; are dry only shavers while 5040s; 5197cc; 5195cc; 5190cc; 5145s; 5147s; 5140s are for both wet and dry shaves. Now I will talk about 5 of the bestselling Philips Norelco Shaver models. Speed is always important when looking at shaving performance.
