Be careful when going “Manual” on this machine. I had to take the shaving head apart and clean the hair strands inside. This takes out Remington Shaver most of the strands and you’re left with a few stingy ones. This is one area the guys hardly compromise with regardless of any series.
I personally have a preference for integrated hair trimmers. As mentioned previously, I personally find the new Series 5 a bit underpowered. In conclusion, my recommendation would be to consider the Braun 5018s if you plan on shaving often for the majority of the time. Secondly, the flat hairs on my neck required many passes and even so, a few odd stray hairs just refused to surrender.
The 5140s is usually less expensive than other Series 5 variations, particularly the cc models that come with a cleaning station. None of the new Series 5 models are Remington Shaver available with an automatic cleaning station. It is a very gentle and smooth shaver provided that you’re not moving the shaving head two fast across the skin.
You’ll find a rubberized grip that covers the sides of this product. I expected the boys to compensate with a textured, long grip to complement wet shaving. With the price hovering between $140 – $160, this is one product that packs the punch when it comes to performance and maintenance. I got the “Full” Braun treatment with the package when it arrived. If the shaver is regularly cleaned with water, apply a drop of light machine oil on top of the foil once a week for lubrication.
The battery seems to take less than an hour to charge and I get a lot of shaves out of each charge. The indicator lets a user know when the battery is running low and when it is fully charged. Trending price is based on prices over last 90 days.
You have a head that’s shiny and functional. This tiny mechanism helps the shaver Remington Shaver head to snap quickly into place. In fact, the shaver I have is quite lengthy.
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. As I have mentioned above, these attachments are close to useless in my experience and dedicated trimmers or groomers work much better.
