Despite this flaw, the trimmer works best for detailing (sideburns, goatees etc.). 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.

The new generation Braun Series 5 shavers are called EasyClean shavers. Because they come with a special cleaning technology at the neck for easy and fast cleaning. To clean the shaver, you just need to hold it under the tap and water at the neck and the program will clean the shaver. But the older Braun Series 5 models come with automatic cleaning station. The cleaning dock automatically cleans the shaver and charge along with. The solo models of the older Series 5 are also easy to clean.

There are two outer foils that cut the hair at skin level, while the middle trimmer captures and pre-cuts long, flat-lying hairs. That is correct, the old Series 5 like the 5140s you mentioned is better than the Series 6. That said, the price of the old Series 5 has spiked for the past year or so. An alternative would be to a solo Series 8, it really doesn’t matter which one as the performance will be the same. As for my daily shaver, I tend to switch them up quite a lot (also because I’m testing new shavers).

On the back of the Series 5 you’ll find a long hair trimmer, similar to the ones used on the Series 3 and Series 9. The head of the Series 5 can also be locked into place when more precision is needed. All of them are however waterproof and can be cleaned with water.

Earlier Braun models had more or less uniform thickness throughout. The shaft closes in near the head of the shaver and then the head widens again. Frankly, this design shift makes this model look more like a Panasonic Arc 4 shaver than a Braun 5.

Meanwhile, the trimmer catches hairs that are long and lie flat and pre-cut them for the foils to manage easily. The nimble Shaver provides clean, comfortable grooming, and it’s 100% waterproof, so you can safely clean the SensoFoil™ blades under running water. The older Braun Series 5 version is still popular and over rated for some reasons and the robust built quality is one of the main reasons. On the other hand, the EasyClean versions feel simpler and modern with more facilities. If you like a sturdier shaver with maximum shaving comfort, the older versions are absolutely a great choice. But the new EasyClean versions are also adorable for the price range and more facilities.
