Just make sure the cassette is completely dry before applying the lubricant. But the truth is that it would have taken me less time to simply remove the cassette and give it a thorough rinse . And I was really thorough with it and spent quite a bit of time doing it. There’s a cutout below the shaving unit covered by two rubber flaps. And that’s a bit odd since all of them are actually compatible with the stations shipped with the 2020 Series 7 and 6 .
You can use a few drops of liquid soap on the foils, let it run for a bit, then generously rinse it under tap water to remove all the foam. You can also use the included brush to further clean the inner area of the cassette. Do not use it on the foils as they can be easily damaged. I’ll first go over the manual cleaning process and then we’ll see how the station performs.
With that said, if you have a very fast beard growth, you could see a 5 o’clock shadow creep up sooner than you would like. I didn’t find the vibrations to affect the quality of my shave, but I definitely couldn’t ignore them. It’s also quite similar to the range-topping Series 9 in terms of design language and proportions.
And this is quite important for getting a quick shave, especially if your beard is dense and thick. I had to switch to the beard trimmer and cut them — this is when I also missed having an integrated trimmer that I could just extend and use. Secondly, the flat hairs on my neck required many passes and even so, a few odd stray hairs Philips Norelco Shaver just refused to surrender. First of all, I had to use even slower strokes to avoid hairs getting pulled. On a short beard, it wasn’t usually a problem, but in this situation more attention was needed. I particularly enjoyed using the 5018s wet mainly because of the added slickness; the head just glides over the skin effortlessly.
