Braun Series 5 51-W1600s Electric Shaver for Men with EasyClick Body Groomer Attachment, EasyClean, Wet & Dry, Rechargeable, Cordless Foil Razor, White

Product Information

I have had an 8995 model for about 15 years, very happy with it but finally the battery is losing capacity, the trimmer head has broken and it’s looking quite worn (like its owner! I was also very excited about the new series 7/6/5 family, but because of the larger frame around the head I have ruled those out too. It is hands down a better performer (faster, more effective with difficult hairs, more comfortable).

The Braun 5018s is a wet/dry shaver that works well at shaving with shaving cream, gel, foam, and water. This is a cordless shaver that comes with a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery that provides 50 minutes of runtime and a 5-minute quick charging option. I’m new in the Braun world, I had a round electric razor and it was a nightmare, so I want to try the Braun shaver. And that’s quite something since the Series 7 was and still is to some degree the unofficial benchmark for shaving comfort and it also gained some sort of iconic status in the industry. Your station will also not work with something like the 5090cc (fortunately, that one comes with a cleaning station).one of them, was that i’ve been shaving wrong with my Philips – instead of circular motion, i’ve just moved it back and forth. For your precaution, you can purchase an extra Replacement Head since you mentioned it would be challenging to find the spare parts in your country. The 50-M1000S Series 5 model is actually part of the 2020 update, so it doesn’t have anything to do with the models in this guide. However I expect that with careful (and light) use for an ageing face, the heads should last longer than 18 months. The main purpose of a travel case is to offer protection from mechanical shocks and a soft pouch offers none.

I would personally opt for the 5050cc for the reasons outlined above and because it also costs less.I just want a shaver that works well, doesn’t look like some tacky, cheap-looking, spaceship wanna-be, fake “platstic-chrome” toy from a vending machine, designed for a 12 year old. The most fragile part of this shaver and all other electric shavers seems to be the head section with the cutters; otherwise, the whole unit feels solid. I’m a student also so trying to be a little cautious can’t afford to splurge for an outcome that does not improve my situation you know? I have a really sencible skin, I’ve never use the electric razor with wet skin because the one I had couldn’t shave with the cream. 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 (it will take only 1 hour for a full charge from the next recharge).

The dry only 5030s would be the best pick (it also works corded), but if you can’t find it, the 5040s or 5140s are good options as well. In this review, I will run through the important features, test it out while shaving wet and dry, and try it out as a head shaver, although it’s primarily a facial shaver. I’m just a little sad that it’s apparently not quite as good in terms of battery life, noise, and power/speed as the Series 8. Braun recommends changing the cassette every 18 months, but depending on the factors I just mentioned you may need to do it sooner or later on. Braun implemented a built-in precision trimmer in the shaver that is enough for precision trimming and detailing.I had the same gripes with it, I didn’t like the curved profile and it required many strokes to get all the hairs. The Series 9 with the station is actually a good option, so depending on your budget and needs, it could be a good choice. The manufacturer recommends changing the cutting block every 18 months, but depending on the coarseness of the hair and how often you use it, you may need to change it sooner or later than that.

The 5018s or 50-B1200s come with a trimmer, and the 5050cs or 50-W4650cs come with a trimmer attachment, body groomer attachment, and charging stand. I love its design with a secured rubber grip that feels very comfortable and secure while using even with wet hands.I wish they would go back to basics and design a truly high performing machine, that is simple and aesthetic in design. If I carry my 2000 EUR laptop in a soft case, and my iphone also, then I certainly don’t need an extra super-strong, hard (and extra bulky) protective case for my 200 EUR electric shaver that is not particularly sensitive to mechanical damage, and anyway, either just lies on a shelf in the bathroom, or goes in a travel bag. As always with braun products you get what you pay for, a reliable electric razor that does the job. It doesn’t matter how I use it, wet or dry it just doesn’t shave particularly closely, especially under the chin.
