While the 5090cc in our review is waterproof and can be safely rinsed with water, you cannot use it in the shower or with shaving cream or gel. When fully extended, it just about passes the shaving head so you can sort of see what you are doing. Overall I am pretty impressed with the shaving experience and would highly recommend, as long as you can get over the fact it feels like a jackhammer in your hand. If you are a daily shaver or love Braun’s other models then you will feel right at home with this shaver. From America to Australia and everywhere in between; you will be able to charge your shaver when the battery dies.
Braun also skips the drying feature for these models to bring down the cost. It means you have to wait for 3 to 4 hours for the shaver to dry thoroughly. The Sonic Technology assists the shaver in lifting and cutting more hair with one pass. Thus, you’ll need fewer strokes in a shave to appear just as dapper. Fewer strokes also mean less risk of skin irritation or razor burn, which makes the series 7 suitable for sensitive skin.
You simply plug the power cord and place the shaver on it for a charge. However, you can also charge the shaver without placing it on the stand. The couple of attachments you get fit securely on the shaving head with the EasyClick feature. The pop-up trimmer in earlier models because of its position had limited utility. These new attachments perform better but you carry the risk of losing them or blunting the edges when not in use.
Braun 5145s is a 3rd generation Braun Series 5 existing model that has been altered from the Braun 5030s model. The 5030s is a 2nd generation existing model that is not available on the market now.

The selected cleaning setting is depicted on the station via a droplet symbol . The cleaning cycle is very short and takes approximately 3 minutes or less depending on the hygiene status. You then close the housing and you’re ready to start cleaning your Series 5. To insert the cartridge you have to press a button on the back of the station and it will pop open.
Unfortunately, the short charging cord strikes once again and you will have to sit your cleaning station quite close to your power outlet. Like most electric shavers, Philips Norelco Shaver the Series 5 is best used when cutting hairs under 1/8th of an inch long . This flaw was also present in the Series 9 and Series 7 Shavers we reviewed.

Philips Norelco Shaver Designed to shave dry, with foam, gel and in the shower. The new ergonomic handle enables an effortless shave with simple, one way movement.
Now for the final aspect that we are reviewing of the Braun Series 5 electric shavers, the performance. The Braun Series 5 model is a great model that uses the technology of the more advanced models, like the Series 7, but at a lower price-tag. The series 7 and series 8 electric shavers are far better than the Series 3 model at tackling longer hairs, or hairs that grow in different directions. The Series cc has a 100% waterproof design and is the world’s only 4-action cleaning & charging station. The shaver cleans, lubricates, charges and selects the cleaning program with a single touch. By utilizing an alcohol cleaning fluid, this system removes 99.999% of germs for a hygienic and worry-free shave that’s 10 times cleaner than using water alone.
Nevertheless, I’m glad you’re enjoying your Series 5, these models like the 5195cc are being phased out and replaced by the newer Series 5. By the way, when I say Series 7, I am referring to the original Series 7 models like the 790cc, 7865cc or 7893s, not the 2020 models which are actually worse . It’s somewhat annoying that I have to hold the trimmer down with a finger whilst shaving but I’ve learned to live with it.
