If you looked closely at the photo above you may have noticed small, black oval shaped button in the center of the shaver. Even if you are the most clumsy person on earth, this thing is staying in your hands, wet or dry. Even if something presses up against the power button, the shaver won’t turn on. Many postal services that ship by air classify alcohol in any amount as a hazardous material.
In order to find that out, I inserted a brand new cleaning cartridge into the station and performed an automatic cleaning cycle right after my thorough manual cleaning. It’s not the closest shaving electric razor in this price category — that title goes to the Panasonic Arc 4 — but most men will probably be satisfied with the results. The shaving head looks and feels of high quality and snaps securely in place. It also pops out easily when you need to clean it manually. The 5190cc variation on the other hand and all the newer wet&dry Series 5 shavers will only work cordless as a safety precaution. This is carried out via the head locking switch located on the front of the shaver, just below the shaving head.
This may vary according to your beard growth and environmental temperature. Your appliance is provided with a special cord set, which has an integrated Safety Extra Low Voltage power supply. Do not exchange or tamper with any part of it, otherwise there is risk of an electric shock. Only use the special cord set provided with your appliance. The 2020 Series 5 models use a new shaving head called 53b.
Easy Clean electric shaver kit for men makes shaving easy with 3 Flexible Blades that adapt to your facial contours. The Easy Clean system delivers a fast and easy cleaning without removing the shaver head. The Li-Ion Battery provides up to 3 weeks of shaving and a 5 min quick charge. This men’s electric razor is 100% waterproof for wet & wry use. Beard Trimmer and Stubble Beard Trimmer attachments included.
The combination of these factors makes this shaver good for people with sensitive skin particularly the elderly and teenagers. In terms of shaving performance, perhaps its best attribute is dealing with flat-lying, stray, and relatively long hair. This is because of the ActiLift trimmer in the middle of the shaving head. This trimmer aligns and pre-cuts flat-lying hair for cut by shaving elements.
When the shaver is getting close to running flat, the last red bar will blink at you, trying to get your attention to place the shaver on charge. The battery charge remaining can be seen with a quick glance of the screen. 5 red bars each representing approximately 20% of charge will slowly deplete as you use the shaver. Like most modern-day shavers, you can charge your brand new Series 5 shaver anywhere in the world. In an effort to help those of you with poor shaving technique, the shaving heads have a certain amount of give. This will be of great help to those of you who are tempted to apply too much pressure when shaving.
Braun stations are very convenient compared to all other manufacturers since they use cartridges that can be taken out of the station and stored for a long time. Philips Norelco’s cartridges don’t have a cap and Panasonic stations just have a tray where you mix detergent and water. The costs of the cleaning cartridges are pretty reasonable and well worth the extra money in my opinion. I actually Remington Shaver think the cleaning station is one of the highlights of the 5090cc/5190cc and contributes massively to what makes it an overall great package. So if you won’t be using the station for a few days in a row, it’s probably a good idea to remove the cartridge from the station and put the plastic cap back on. This is necessary in order to get the bulk of the hair clippings out of the shaving head.
In addition to that, it utilizes the same shaving head that we are used to seeing in Series 5 models. Thus, we can hope almost the same shaving performance from 5050Cs. This means that it is a very comfortable fit in the hand, with the thumb resting easily over the power button. The shavers come with a rubber Braun Series 5 grip which means that it feels really safe in your hands, including if it’s going in the shower and getting wet. One full charge of 60 minutes gives you 50 minutes of shaving time. It also has a 5 minute quick charge option, so you can get just enough battery for a quick shave before you head out the door.
