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. I was able to get a full shaves out of it before having Philips Norelco Shaver to recharge the battery. I will look at the using the cleaning station to charge your electrical shaver further down in the cleaning section. Etched into the trimmer molding are the words “Made in Germany”.
I’d say that it’s slightly more comfortable than a Series 3 ProSkin, while the closeness is pretty much the same. At the moment of writing this review, the cassette is not yet available for purchase. You should switch the shaver on for a few seconds after Philips Norelco Shaver 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.
Also, if you’re considering performance, there’s no significant trade-off or downside. When cleaning the shaver head with water only use hot water and from time to time some liquid soap . Remove Foil & Cutter cassette to let it dry. Rechargeable all in one wet & dry trimmer with unprecedented cutting performance vs. previous generations of Braun beard trimmers. Other Braun shaver series comes with a cleaning and charging station which this series 5 does not, although that may come soon. I cannot vouch for the longevity of battery life as I use, test, and review shavers, razors, and other products over a monthly period usually.
Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth. Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 5 °C to 35 °C. The battery may not charge properly or at all under extreme low or high temperatures. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children unless they are older than 8 years and supervised.
This is a dual-voltage charging station we’re talking about. I’d keep Braun Series 5 , ahead of the curve when discussing the LED. Yes, the LED display is definite improvement when you compare it with series 7.
Many shavers have the trimmer attached to the body that releases for use which can be very useful, requiring no removal of the blade head. However, if you do not require a trimmer then you’ll be pleased it’s not attached. Bottom Line – A surprisingly close shave that performs well daily or every two-three days.
The status is shown by the cleaning program indicators in the C&C display . The shaver should be cleaned after each foam usage. To change position, move the shaver head with your thumb and forefinger back or forth.
