In our test of the two, the micro-vibrations made a slight difference to the shave but not so much that we would declare the end result of the shave superior. If you think the shaving unit looks familiar, that’s because it is. 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.

There’s no protective cap, travel case or lubricant included. And in all honesty, the new Series 5 is quite a bit cheaper. I just don’t think that the Series 5 name should be used as it will just cause more confusion. There are also no release buttons/tabs, so you’ll have to pry the cassette off using brute force. Just like I mentioned in the case of the new Series 7, I think it’s a step down in quality and performance from the one used on the old Series 5.
The cleaning cartridge can last for a maximum of 4 weeks if used daily. The level indicator will blink red when the time has come to replace the cartridge. This shaver is 100% waterproof up to 5m of water, so there is no Braun Series 5 issue if you want to use the shaver while showering. Some of us prefer to shave while shaving to save time, so Braun Series cc is the perfect choice for that. The battery life I got was decent along with superior blades.

I tried to test it in a variety of scenarios so I can get a better understanding of its pros and cons and when this shaver would be a suitable option. For this review, I’ve been using the Braun Series s exclusively for almost two weeks. The battery indicator is very basic, with only 3 levels, each one representing a third of the battery capacity. Charging the 5018s from 0 to 100% takes around one hour. The charger (type 492-XXXX) has a USA plug and will work anywhere in the world (100–240v). Nevertheless, the battery life has been solid during my tests with the Series s.
