It is one of the quietest Braun Braun Series 5 models I’ve used so far, on par with the Series 9 in this regard. For some light grooming like the situations mentioned above, it is not ideal.

As usual, I spent about a month using and testing out the Braun Series 5 electric shaver to maximize how it performs. The above model numbers are all fundamentally the same shaver with the same design, cutting power, and ability available. I’m coming from a really old model 8590 activator. Regarding the cleaning, warm tap water and optionally some liquid soap would probably be the best option .

There’s no need to remove the shaver head to clean it as running water can flow through the cutting elements and rinse off any small hair. The Braun Series 5 electric shaver adapts according to your face’s natural contours. Return the appliance to a service center for examination and repair.

You should switch the shaver on for a few seconds after that to help distribute the oil evenly across the cutters. If you clean the razor with soap after every shave, then you should also lubricate it after every shave. Shake off the excess water and optionally pat the parts dry with a clean cloth.

Braun Series 5

Inside the Series 5; the Lithium-ion battery takes an hour to charge and provides 45 minutes of shaving time. I found this number to be pretty close to the mark.

But the truth is that it would have taken me less time to simply remove the cassette and give it a thorough rinse .
