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.
While the closeness of the Series 5 isn’t class-leading, this shaver shines when it comes to comfort. And now let’s get to the most important part of the review, the actual shaving performance. Being suitable for dry only use, the Braun Series cc can be used while charging with the included cord, unlike the wet/dry 5190cc. Speaking of which, this is another minus of the Series 7 that was fully addressed with the Series 5. While the Series 7 doesn’t have a travel lock, you can activate it on the Series 5 by pressing and holding the ON/OFF switch for 3 seconds.
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.
The Braun 5190cc is the updated model of the Braun 5090cc that comes with an automatic cleaning and charging station. The cleaning station cleans, dries, lubricates, and charges the shaver automatically that you have to do manually with the solo models. The shaver is 100% waterproof that is also allowed to clean the device manually if you have lack of cleaning cartridge. Beyond 50 minute runtime, the shaver comes with a 5-minute quick charging system that allows you to have urgent shaves with only a 5-minute charge. The autosensing motor and super flexible shaving head make the shaving process comfortable even on sensitive skin.
Then, when you arrive at the store of your choice, use the Instacart app to notify us. Depending on the store, a shopper or store employee will bring the groceries to your car, or you can pick them up at the designated area. I put together various reviews on Electric Philips Norelco Shaver Shavers out there so other men will have the information they need to purchase the one that is right for their needs. The replacement head for 5050Cs is 52b and is readily available. It has a black matte finish on the top and a grey plastic insert on the back.
If a manual clean of the Series 5 seems a bit fiddly that’s because it is. It takes a few good minutes to get all the hairs out and I was still not convinced that there weren’t any left. The Series cc comes with Braun’s Clean & Charge station, but you can also clean it manually if choose so. Cleaning our gear is an integral part of any shaving routine and ideally it should be fast and easy to perform. I will say it right off the bat, as far as shaving performance goes, they are very similar.
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.
After starting the power, pass the shaver like other foil shavers. You can use water, foam, gel or soap to have wet and refreshing shaves since all the new generation Series 5 shavers are wet/dry Braun Series 5 featured. The Braun 5050cs is the most advanced shaver in the new EasyClean version of shavers. The shaver comes with a smart design and user-friendly interface with rubberized grip.
