The only difference between the two shaving units is that the molding on the Series 5 shaving unit is slightly longer. Because of this, while the Series 7 shaving head will fit the series 5, that of the Series 5 won’t fit the Series 7. Unfortunately, Remington Shaver the pop-up trimmer sits almost at the same height as the shaver head. This makes it incredibly difficult to see what it is you are trimming. When travel lock is activated, a red padlock will appear on the Series 5 display screen .
Once fully charged, you can use this shaver for four to five shaves. However, if not in use, it can retain power for a good period of time. It has a new overall design and some new handy features like EasyClean which enables you to clean it without removing the head.
Each of these models has super thin foils that let you get really close. Another addition from previous models is the quick charge feature. This feature gives you the ability to charge shaver enough for one shave in 5 minutes. The feature ensures you get the full power of the shaver even at low battery levels.
If you think the shaving unit looks familiar, that’s because it is. The shaving unit is identical to the one found on top of the Braun Series 7 (Model 790cc-4). Simply press the button in with your thumb while sliding upwards and the trimmer will spring right up. Braun is the only brand to use a coiled cord with their charger. I will be examining the shaver in much greater detail in the next section.
Pressing and holding the power button for another 3 seconds will disable travel lock. Barely bigger than your thumb, the cleaning brush beats picking hair clippings out of your shaver by hand. For anyone looking for a top-notch foil shaver without a premium price tag the Series 5 has a lot to offer the customer. Given that they are waterproof, you can clean it after Braun Series 5 every couple of shaves under running water, and that should do the job. Some people even recommend using sewing machine oil around once a week to lubricate the blades, but that’s your choice. As it is also a bit clunky with lower visibility, this trimmer probably won’t replace your dedicated trimmer for such areas, but it is a nice addition to the shaver.
The display indicates the battery status, and low charge warning, hygiene status, and if the travel lock is on or off. Third in the line of electric shavers is the 5145s. This station is not only cleaning, but also lubricates, charges and sanitizes your razor for the next use. It is very flexible and is a reliable product suitable even for sensitive skin types. The mid-range foil shaver line Braun Series 5 is getting overwhelming on the market for different reasons. Braun made 2 major revisions to their existing Series 5 shavers like the higher range Series 7 and Series 9.
He said the vibration is quite strong with noise but at an acceptable range. Also, no irritation/pain for him and it gave close shaves. My pick would be the ES-LA63 for its high-end features, great performance and excellent price.
