However, in another shift, 5050Cs come with not one but two attachments. One is your precision trimmer which essentially serves the same purpose as did the pop-up trimmer. The second is body groomer attachment which you can use to cut body hair like on your torso and maybe down under. There are different versions that work in both wet and dry, or just dry, so you can choose what would suit your shaving needs best. Plus the ability to pivot and the retracting foils mean that it is much easier to obtain a closer shave.
As a side note, I find the pre-shave lotions from Speick and Tabac to work much better than Lectric Shave. If you can get them, I think it’s worth trying them out. Speick + the Series cc is now my go-to setup for a dry shave. If you plan on shaving less often or have a coarser beard, I think you’ll be happier with this one. 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.
My partner has been using Sanyo SV-M730 for quite some years, it looks quite a simple shaver without advanced function (the shaving head doesn’t allow movement at all). So, I believe even the basic Braun series 3 will impress him. He has sensitive skin and sometimes a few flat lying hair couldn’t get shaved if he wasn’t detailed enough. Precision trimming is a common feature of electric shavers (mid-range to high-end). The older generation Braun Series 5 shavers come with a built-in slide-up trimmer. The trimmer is used for making precise trimming and outlining.
The robust third generation and some 2nd generation series 5 shavers are available on the market with and without automatic cleaning and charging station. Beyond the existing Series 5 shavers, Braun released their new shaped electric shavers in the Series in 2020 which are slightly downgraded. However, Braun minimized the price range in the newly released shavers and added some extra facilities as well.
It may not be the closest shave you can get with an electric shaver, it is not disappointingly bad either. You may have to go over some spots a couple of times but this is where you have some stubborn hair like below the lower lip or chin. The Braun Series 5 shavers use two outer foils, which are designed to catch the smaller hairs, and between these two foils lies the centre trimmer. The Series 5 cassettes are a big step up from the Series 3 shaving heads, and actually more closely resemble those of the Series 7 shaver head. These shavers come with the state of art and the one of its kind clean and charge station developed by the Braun industries.
