It does not cut close, it leaves clumps, it pulls, it cuts the skin. Interestingly the product came with a disposable razor, I think they know their product is junk and provide this to give you a chance of a decent job. Water flows through the cutting elements and rinses off stubble. Cleaning stations of Series 7 can clean, dry, lubricate, and charge the electric razor.
It’s also interesting to note that other Series 5 models come with different accessories. Unfortunately there’s no room for the charging cord inside the case. In this Braun Series cc/5090cc review we will take a close look at all the things that matter and see if the Series 5 line is up to the expectations. The Series 5line from Braun has been steadily growing in popularity, the main reasons for this being its excellent performance and reasonable price. While it does have some minor flaws here and there the Series 5 should be your starting point if you want a fine example of a good foil shave. The Series 5 is where Braun’s Electric shaving line up gets serious.
A Panasonic Arc 4 with a mighty CPM motor will shave faster than a Series 5 that uses a CPM unit provided that your beard is reasonably short. The 5090cc/5190cc is very forgiving and gentle to the skin and I never experienced any discomfort or irritation. It really impressed me how it always provided a perfectly comfortable shave, even when I pressed harder than I normally would.
So this review will also be relevant in the case of the other models like the 5050cs, 5020s or the UK 50-B1200s and 50-W4650cs. The new shavers are a complete departure from the current Series 5 that we all know. The 8 barely gets a mention – and actually doesn’t get very good reviews on other sites.
But it is 100% waterproof, which will make cleaning easy as long as you have access to water. It does come with a Smartplug which makes charging easy as well as a cleaning brush. 5050Cs promises to add a new dimension to the already extensive series 5.
The display indicates the battery status, and low charge warning, hygiene status, and if the travel lock is on or off. Third in the line of Braun Series 5 electric shavers is the 5145s. This station is not only cleaning, but also lubricates, charges and sanitizes your razor for the next use. It is very flexible and is a reliable product suitable even for sensitive skin types. The mid-range foil shaver line Braun Series 5 is getting overwhelming on the market for different reasons. Braun made 2 major revisions to their existing Series 5 shavers like the higher range Series 7 and Series 9.
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.
