A Panasonic Arc 4 with a mighty CPM motor will shave faster than a Series 5 that uses a CPM unit provided that your beard is reasonably short. The 5090cc/5190cc is very forgiving and gentle to the skin and I never experienced any discomfort or irritation. It really impressed me how it always provided a perfectly comfortable shave, even when I pressed harder than I normally would.
Then, when you arrive at the store of your choice, use the Instacart app to notify us. Depending on the store, a shopper or store employee will bring the groceries to your car, or you can pick them up at the designated area. I put together various reviews on Electric Philips Norelco Shaver Shavers out there so other men will have the information they need to purchase the one that is right for their needs. The replacement head for 5050Cs is 52b and is readily available. It has a black matte finish on the top and a grey plastic insert on the back.
And while the 3 cutting elements can move independently, the head unit of the 5018s is fixed. One of the models in this revamped line is the Braun 5018s (the UK/European version is called 50-B1200s). This particular Series 5 is bound to be the pick of the range thanks to its very reasonable price. The only difference between the 5190cc and 5195cc is that the latter also comes with a hard travel case.
Needless to say, these additional features tend to lift the price a little. You’ll then see some which have an ‘s’ next to the number, while others have ‘cc’. The ‘s’ options are a simpler option, while the ‘cc’ indicates that it comes with a charge and cleaning’ station. We’ll go through how this works when we discuss the cleaning system of the shavers below. However, one notable point of praise was that most reviewers found the shaver simple to clean. The Electric Shaver is 100% waterproof and can be used both wet and dry, with gel or foam, letting you shave your way.
If that’s how you use a trimmer in the majority of the time, you probably won’t like the trimmer attachment shipped with the Series s. They’re always there and extremely handy when you need to cut a stubborn hair or shape your sideburns. I’d say that the experience is very similar to the Braun Series 3 ProSkin, which isn’t particularly flattering. As mentioned previously, I personally find the new Series 5 a bit underpowered.
If you treat this as a shaver that you must use with the cleaning station then you won’t be disappointed. For you the simplicity and convenience the cleaning station brings will be more than worth the small price of buying replacement cleaning cassettes. As you may have guessed by the name, travel lock is most commonly used when you are squashing your electric shaver into an already overflowing luggage. Sliding this button locks the shaver head into 1 of 5 different positions and stops it from moving back and forth, ideal for shaving tricky areas like under the nose. Unlike all the other electric shaving brands, Braun’s cleaning cartridges are alcohol based.
