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 beard trimmer works fine as long as you don’t try to go too fast. The Braun Series 5 has worldwide voltage adaptation and a convenient travel lock. There’s a Clean&Charge station to hygienically clean, lubricate and dry the shaver with a proprietary alcohol-based solution. Although our testers thought the Series 5’s cleaning cartridge was “kind of a pain to install”, they were pleased with its result.
Right after I am finished showing you the contents of the box. Get the best value on product protection including fast repairs or replacements. Designed to shave dry, with foam, gel and in the shower. The new ergonomic handle enables an effortless shave with simple, one way movement.
Of course, this accessory makes the models cost a little more, but it could well be worth it if it helps to preserve the life of your electric shaver. Braun models have a special design of shaving heads Braun Series 5 called the cassette. The blades, foils, and other components seemingly form a unity, making it a chore to clean them manually. Specifically, the shaving heads of both shavers move in 8 directions.

I think 2 years of use is achievable if you shave twice a week. You’ll definitely know when it’s time to change the head (it won’t shave as close, fast and comfortable, it will get hot and sometimes even yanks some hairs). As for shaving performance, Philips Norelco Shaver I found the Series 8 to shave pretty much identical to the Series 5, except that it’s a bit quieter and vibrates less. With that said, the Series 7 is a bit better than both — to me it feels a bit faster and more comfortable.
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.
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.
From the indicators that we went through above, it becomes easier to work out the different prices that you will be presented with. In general, the ones with three digits will be cheaper, as they belong to an older generation. But before all of that, we’re going to explain the system that Braun Series 5 has for its different models. This model has also been rated 5 stars by most of the users. The new rubberized handle allows for an effortless shave with a simple movement.
