Yes, it’ll take time to shave this way but people won’t feel the grainy texture when they run their fingers against their cheeks, throat or lips. At the very end, I did a bit of rinsing to get the soap-water out of the system. Of course, it took most of the debris with it. Free 48-hour delivery, or same-day delivery for an extra fee.

The cleaning station runs off the same charging cord that plugs directly into the Series 5 shaver. Unfortunately, the short charging cord strikes once again and you will have to sit your cleaning station quite close to your power outlet. This flaw was also present in the Series 9 and Series 7 Shavers we reviewed. It would be impossible to find how many hairs are missed by this irregular shape. I am only drawing attention to it because other brands of electric shavers do not contain this flaw. The new Series 5 electric shaver adapts to your facial contours with its 3 Flexible blades.

Overall, the build quality and ergonomics are adequate considering the price of the Series s, but the shaver feels underwhelming compared to the old Series 5. My main gripe with this model is related to the shaving head. The shaver is also much lighter at only 174g/0.38 lbs according to my kitchen Remington Shaver scale. The Braun 5018s and all the new Series 5 razors are suitable for wet & dry use. One of the models in this revamped line is the Braun 5018s (the UK/European version is called 50-B1200s). This particular Series 5 is bound to be the pick of the range thanks to its very reasonable price.
The thumb rest area integrates the power button as well and it sits pretty much flush with the surface. On the back and sides, there’s a dimpled rubber insert that along with the sculpted profile of the handle and the low weight ensures excellent grip and ergonomics. That’s almost 60 grams less and it really makes a significant difference when holding and using the shaver.
However, most users won’t have that possibility and they’ll have to clean the shaver manually. The 3 cutting elements also don’t protrude as much and while they do move independently, the range of motion is quite short and the movement is a bit jerky. Secondly, the head of the 5018s is fixed, so you’ll have to work a bit more in order to maintain the foils flat on the skin. 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. 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.
It would suit guys that shave every two days and don’t really have course hair. Gents that shave their heads every 2 or 3 days may find may also find it a good purchase. The most common complaint is how much effort has to be made and the time it takes to shave fully when users had quite a bit of growth. And as I have experienced some users mention how some hairs are just not picked up by the shaver. Some users may not appreciate having to attach the trimmer.
The lowest-priced brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging . As a side note, I find the pre-shave lotions from Speick and Tabac to work much better than Lectric Shave. If you can get them, I think it’s worth trying them out.
