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 .
But you need to pull the shaver head to detach it and attach the new precision trimmer head that comes with new Series 5 shavers. Braun engineered their older generation Series 5 shavers with auto sense motor. The motor can read the beard density and adjust the power.
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.
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.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children unless they are older than 8 years and supervised. If for any reason you are not satisfied with this product, your purchase is covered by our 30-day return policy. All contents and original packaging must be included with all returns.
A Braun is much smoother and even if it can’t get as close as the Panny when used on facial hair, it’s really close on the head. And 1 other question , when you mentioned the Panny Arc 5 being the closest, how much closer of shave do you actually get? My hair does not grow that fast on my face , but my head is like a lot of dudes faces where you have the 5 o’clock shadow by dinner. I appreciate all that you do and answering every question, thank you again. The Series 5 is in my opinion a significant step up in performance from the Series 3. That said, if you have light facial hair, the difference may not be that significant, especially since the 3000s seems to work quite well for you.
But most of the time I’ll be using a Series 7 or 9 when shaving dry or a Panasonic Arc 5 when I have the time for a wet shave. If that’s something you have to deal with, then you should consider it. I did however use several Braun shavers from the same period and to me the current, Braun Series 5 modern Braun shavers are much better, especially with regards to comfort. That includes the Series 5 as well which is a really good shaver. How much of an upgrade will it be in your case is hard to tell. But the Series 5 seems like a suitable choice if you decide to upgrade.
Save with $8.99 flat rate shipping when you purchase 3 or more eligible items. Insert shaver into the Clean & Charge Station and push it to the rear side of the station . Clean directly after shaving to allow enough time for drying. Shaver head is regularly cleaned with water but not lubricated. Foil and cutter are worn which requires more power for each shave. Hold the C&C with one hand and tilt the shaver slightly to the front to release it.
So I am about to decide if I want to continue shaving with the cord, or purchase a new Braun shaver. I started my review with the Series 9, then the Series 7, and finally the Series 5. My Series 5 looks quite different than the photos in this review. My battery indicator is two green LEDs and one red LED with the word “low” printed below. Below the “Braun” name I have the word “clean” and a yellow LED indicator.
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.
