There are two outer foils that cut the hair at skin level, while the middle trimmer captures and pre-cuts long, flat-lying hairs. The whole cleaning process appears to be designed to steer you towards using the cleaning station. A small water drop icon will appear on the shaver when it is beyond time to clean your shaver. You can just make out this icon on the shaver display in the picture above. Like most modern-day shavers, you can charge your brand new Series 5 shaver anywhere in the world.
Your account will remain active for 45 days. Please do not use the `Remember me` option if using a computer with public access or that is used by more than one person. The price for this product is set by the individual retailers and varies among them. Each retailer has a pricing policy that can be found on that retailer’s page.
The 5140s is usually less expensive than other Series 5 variations, particularly the cc models that come with a cleaning station. None of the new Series 5 models are available with an automatic cleaning station. It is a very gentle and smooth shaver provided that you’re not moving the shaving head two fast across the skin.
The small size of the trimming head means that it will take forever to trim off an entire beard. It’s a sad fact that this trimmer just won’t replace your separate every-day beard trimmer. When travel lock is activated, a red padlock will appear on the Series 5 display screen . Pressing and holding the power button for another 3 seconds will disable travel lock. 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.
The EasyClean system delivers a fast and easy cleaning without removing the shaver head. And what’s better than an effortless shaving routine? Philips Norelco Shaver shavers promise you an effortless and smooth shave with the help of its easy grip, slim body, and three flexible blades. These blades adapt to your facial contours and shave even the tricky, hard-to-shave areas.
You’ll find a rubberized grip that covers the sides of this product. I expected the boys to compensate with a textured, long grip to complement wet shaving. With the price hovering between $140 – $160, this is one product that packs the punch when it comes to performance and maintenance. I got the “Full” Braun treatment with the package when it arrived. If the shaver is regularly cleaned with water, apply a drop of light machine oil on top of the foil once a week for lubrication.
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.
You have a head that’s shiny and functional. This tiny mechanism helps the shaver head to snap quickly into place. In fact, the shaver I have is quite lengthy.
Here in this blog, I share my personal experience on electric shaver specifically. Unlike the Braun Series s, there is no foil shaver replacement indicator on display. It is recommended to change the shaver head around 12 to 18 months after purchase.
Be careful when going “Manual” on this machine. I had to take the shaving head apart and clean the hair strands inside. This takes out most of the strands and you’re left with a few stingy ones. This is one area the guys hardly compromise with regardless of any series.
