Paying more for Series 7 means you’ll enjoy an improvement in the performance . Thanks to their more powerful motor, Series 7 shaves fairly faster at full capacity. But according to the skin area, it also allows you to adjust the motor’s power, thereby the speed. In addition, thanks to micro-pulsations per minute, Braun series 7 gives a gentler massage while shaving your hair than its brother.
Because my model is so old, it’s probably safe to assume I should purchase the cleaning station along with a new series 5 shaver. As said earlier, 5050Cs features the same shaving head as earlier series 5 models. In terms of the closeness of shave, it performs pretty well.
The result is a perfectly clean shaving head, with all the hairs and dirt removed. The blades are also lubricated and have a nice, citrusy scent. After completing the shave, the first thing I do is detach Philips Norelco Shaver the shaving head from the hand-held unit and very gently tap it on the countertop, foils side up. The 5090cc comes with a Li-Ion battery that provides up to 45 minutes of cordless shaving time.
You can charge the shaver via the station or by plugging the included cord directly into the shaver. The three cutting elements can move independently to maintain constant contact with the skin, regardless of the area that’s being shaved. It took a good 2 minutes before I was confident I had cleaned the shaver. And even then I could make out some small dots of hair clippings here and there. Daily shaving will prevent hairs that grow in different directions from growing too long. While the shaver mowed these down when they were a fin stubble, once they grew they were the often missed, most noticeably on the neck and under the chin.
Foil shavers aren’t usually very good at capturing and cutting difficult facial hair. I used the 5018s both wet and dry, daily, every other day and I also skipped shaving on weekends to see how it copes with a longer beard. This design of the shaver, with a cutout right underneath the shaving unit, allows you to rinse off the stubble without removing the cassette. This Philips Norelco Shaver is somewhat surprising since the old Series 5 had a flexible shaving head that worked really well in my experience. The Series 8 is basically a rebranded Series 5 with a bigger battery; it’s not a bad shaver, but it’s definitely not better than a Series 7 — hence the negative reviews. I finally bought a 5090cc for my partner – he just tried today and liked it a lot.
