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 Philips Norelco Shaver three models, which are 5140s, 5145s and 5190cc. The motor does a good job of sensing our skin patterns and adapting accordingly.
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.
The corded use is one tradeoff I’ll make any time and day of the week. I’d keep this one ahead of some of the rotary shavers. Rotary shavers run the risk of pulling on your beard and skin while you go about your shaving routine.

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.
Being a mid-range product, this thing comes with a hard-plastic body. You have a sturdy product with a sleek look. I had to choose between Matte and Glossy finishes. I ended up choosing Matte over glossy as it goes well with other shavers that I have in my inventory. To round everything up, there’s a protective cap and a manual in place.
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 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.
It offers not only a comfortable use but also a close shave. Therefore, these razors capture as many hairs as possible, guaranteeing fastness and efficiency each time. I’m used to the 5 series shaver and although this is a 5 according to Braun, it’s more like a 5a type. It is very ergonomic in your hand and easy to use.
The new shavers are a complete departure from the current Series 5 that we all know. While it does have some minor flaws here and there the Series 5 should be your starting point if you want a fine example of a good foil shave. But achieving the perfect clean took a fair bit of time, more than you will have to spare if you are already running late for work. It is recommended that you clean your Series 5 shaver after each and every use. Holding the Braun Series 5 in your hand is a comfortable experience. The shaver is nicely weighted and has a premium feel to it.
This LED display keeps you updated with the battery life. It flashes whenever the device needs cleaning as well. Yes, that’s the reason the 5190 is a good choice if you have sensitive skin. It’s forgiving and easy Philips Norelco Shaver on your skin pores compared to the Panasonic ARC 4. Believe me, faster is not always a better alternative for us who need a bit of care. I wouldn’t deny that the black and red color schemes combined look classy.
