An In-Depth Review of Braun Series 5 5190cc: Dissecting the Good and the Bad

Not sure what the ” recharging stand” is as it just plugs into the wall with a cord…charged quickly. Happy with my purchase and it appears replacement heads are affordable and the heads last. These are called charging studs and when they make contact with the included cleaning station, the battery will instantly begin to charge.

And the results would have been much better also. And I was really thorough with it and spent quite a bit of time doing it. There’s a cutout below the shaving unit covered by two rubber flaps. And that’s a bit odd since all of them are actually compatible with the stations shipped with the 2020 Series 7 and 6 . So it’s overall a quiet razor, although not by any means as quiet as a rotary.

Braun Series 5

This model reviewed here is toted as the EasyClean Braun Series 5 and it shaves wet or dry. The Braun Series 5 is an electric shaver from a series of 1 – 9 manufactured by the popular German company, Braun. The 2020 Series 5 models use a new shaving head called 53b. The best way to clean a waterproof shaver is with a bit of liquid soap and warm tap water.

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 lineup and comes with a Clean and Charge station.

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.

In the Series 5 50xx, there are three models available at the moment; they are 5018s, 5020s and 5050cs. For Series 5 51xx, there are also three models, which are 5140s, 5145s and 5190cc. The motor does a good job of sensing our skin patterns and adapting accordingly.
