I had to spend a few minutes shaving but it was easy and there were fewer patches of hair to pick up on after. I used it for wet shaving in the shower, and out, with and without shaving foam, and dry shaving. I also tested out how well it shaved my head, even though it is primarily a face shaver. Easy Clean System – Braun states the blades can be cleaned without removing the blade head.
The lead fits into the bottom of the shaver and it has an EU bathroom or US type plug (depends if it’s a US or EU model). This model reviewed here is toted as the EasyClean Series 5 and it shaves wet or dry. The above model numbers are all fundamentally the same shaver with the same design, cutting power, and ability available. The Remington Shaver is an electric shaver from a series of 1 – 9 manufactured by the popular German company, Braun. After having pressed the lift button to open the housing, wait for a few seconds before removing the used cartridge to avoid any dripping. Using the special cord set , connect the station power socket to an electrical outlet.
When the level indicator blinks red, the cartridge needs to be replaced – about every 4 weeks when used daily. Hold the C&C with one hand and tilt the shaver slightly to the front to release it. Charging will start automatically when the shaver has been placed in properly. The contacts on the back of the shaver need to align with the contacts in the C&C. A beep sound confirms that the shaver sits properly in the C&C.
It will clean and sanitize as well as dry and charge. That’s one of the biggest advantages of the 5190cc. It keeps the shaver like new for longer before you’ll have to buy a replacement shaving head. It’s a foil type shaver that works in straight and forth passes over the face like other foil type shavers. Before the first use, plug your shaver for recharging the battery and do not unplug it before 2 hours although the battery is already recharged .
There’s a travel lock available for those who travel with their shaver constantly. The display for the battery is more advanced, too. The three heads move independently of the one next to it. The flex heads make it possible for the shaver to stay in contact with the skin. The shaving head of the 5040s moves in 8 directions.
The beard trimmer is identical to that of the Series 9. Even if you are the most clumsy person on earth, this thing is staying in your hands, wet or dry. The Braun Series 5 is definitely one of the nicer looking shavers on the market. The black color scheme with silver and red highlights has really had some thought put into it. The travel case has just enough room for the Series 5 Shaver.
The ActiLift takes that a thousand times past the other shaver. It will lift and direct flat hairs into the foils. It never grows the same direction, which can make shaving some areas very difficult. The Series s has an AutoSensing motor that takes note of the thickness of your beard and adjusts itself accordingly. It’ll intuitively give you a close shave even in areas where your whiskers grow in thicker. The 310s doesn’t have a sensor to change the power of the shaver.
It gives you a close shave while protecting the skin. The blades sit behind a SensoFoil that will smooth the skin and protect the face. It’s Remington Shaver technology that Braun has perfected for all their shavers starting with the Series 3. It’s available in all the Series 5 shavers, too.
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. With two foil blades and an ActiLift middle trimmer, the Series 5’s shaving head is designed to cut uniformly and to capture flat-lying hair.
