That’s almost 60 grams less and it really makes a significant difference when holding and using the shaver. If you don’t need any of those, the 5018s is probably the one to buy as it’s cheaper than the rest. Instead, it comes with a separate trimmer that must be manually attached when you need to use it. The Series s doesn’t have an integrated slide-out trimmer like the old Series 5. With that out of the way, let’s get back to the main features of the 5018s in our review. It strikes just the right balance between cost and performance, making it a very appealing option in the mid-range segment.
They are one of the most efficient and fastest cleaning systems on the market. Even if you clean the head thoroughly, there are still hair clippings and gel left inside. It is the case for both series, and that’s where automatic cleaning stations come in. While the closeness of the Braun shavers is not class-leading, they are more or less a benchmark of comfort.
The shaver is fairly comfortable with only a little neck irritation. I like the fact that it can be used both corded and cordless and would only consider buying a shaver that has that feature. Would it be much of an improvement over my series 3 in terms of skin irritation. I don’t have a heavy beard and prefer to shave about twice a week.
Moreover, in the middle, it has a curved body that enhances its ergonomics. What makes it even better is the textured rubber insert Philips Norelco Shaver on the back and sides of the shavers. Thus, we can say for sure that this new model has better ergonomics than its predecessors.
