Braun Series 5 Shaver, Blue

The Easy Clean system delivers a fast and easy cleaning without removing the shaver head. The Li-Ion Battery provides up to 3 weeks of shaving and a 5 min quick charge. This men’s electric razor is 100% waterproof for wet & wry use. Beard Trimmer and Stubble Beard Trimmer attachments included. shavers utilize a long-lasting Li-ion battery that helps you enjoy its effortlessly close shave. For a shave, the electric shaver needs only five minutes of quick charge.

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. But what if you purchased a Series 5 model that does not come with a cleaning station. Or maybe you want to take your shaver on vacation and don’t want the worry of bringing it along. 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 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”. Germany is the manufacturing location of choice for all of Braun’s higher-end electric shavers. 1 full charge provides up to 3 weeks’ worth of shaving. 5 min quick charge is sufficient for 1 full shave. The charging station for the Remington Shaver also cleans the shaver so it’s ready for maximum comfort every day.

Braun Series 5

The shaving unit is identical to the one found on top of the Braun Series 7 (Model 790cc-4). Simply press the button in with your thumb while sliding upwards and the trimmer will spring right up. Even things like button placement and charging port are almost the same. Oh, and they feel near identical in the hand too.

That’s where the similarities between the shavers ends. The 5040s has a precision trimmer on the back of the handle. You don’t need to remove the shaver head, find the trimmer, and attach it to the shaver. You can edge your sideburns, goatee, beard, or mustache. The Series s and cc both have precision trimmers on the handle itself. You won’t lose any attachments for shaving when the trimmer is right on the shaver.

This makes it incredibly difficult to see what it is you are trimming. As you may have guessed by the name, travel lock is most commonly used when you are squashing your electric shaver into an already overflowing luggage. Oddly enough, the cleaning station looks near identical to that found in the Remington Shaver box of Braun’s top end shaver, the Series 9. It’s definitely one of the better looking cleaning docks on the market. My aim with this site is to help you get the best shaving products. Some of you came here wanting to be convinced that you can get a good shave if you stick with your old Series 3.
