It has an EasyClean system that lets you clean your shaver without needing to detach the head, making maintenance a piece of cake. The design of the storage unit with the cleaner isn’t the best. It’s a little lop sided and unsightly in the bathroom, but can be stored in cabinet if you have a charging point. Ird time I tried dry and gave up because it just won’t give me an all-over smooth finish.
The results were slightly better when I used a pre-shave lotion or shaving cream, but not dramatically better. To my surprise, it was also good on the chin and under the nose, two areas where I have particularly thick facial hair. Given the striking similarities to the entry-level Series 3 and the obvious cost-cutting Braun Series 5 decisions in the case of the cassette, I really didn’t have high expectations. I tried to test it in a variety of scenarios so I can get a better understanding of its pros and cons and when this shaver would be a suitable option. For this review, I’ve been using the Braun Series s exclusively for almost two weeks.
When the level indicator lights up permanently red, the remaining fluid in the cartridge is sufficient for about 3 more cycles. When the level indicator blinks red, the cartridge needs to be replaced – about every 4 weeks when used daily. 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. Do not expose the appliance to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time.
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.
It’s also interesting to note that other Series 5 models come with different accessories. Unfortunately there’s no room for the charging cord inside the case. In this Braun Series cc/5090cc review we will take a close look at all the things that matter and see if the Series 5 line is up to the expectations. The Series 5line from Braun has been steadily growing in popularity, the main reasons for this being its excellent performance and reasonable price. While it does have some minor flaws here and there the Series 5 should be your starting point if you want a fine example of a good foil shave. The Series 5 is where Braun’s Electric shaving line up gets serious.
Do not use this appliance with a damaged or broken foil, as serious skin injuries may occur. Except when charging, always unplug this appliance from the electrical outlet immediately after using. Do not place, store or charge the appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink. Never be without your favourite Boots products with our international delivery options. I understand how tough it can be to find a good razor most of the time, as well as the common shaving issues. I started this website to stop other people from making the same mistakes I did.
