Braun Series 5 shavers utilize a long-lasting Li-ion battery that helps you enjoy its effortlessly close shave. For a shave, the electric shaver needs only five minutes of quick charge. Full charging will provide enough power for three weeks of shaving. They are suitable for dry shaving and shave with foam, gel, and in the shower. With the trimmer attachments, the Series 5 shavers also help you trim your mustache and sideburn to help you have a complete grooming tool.
Yes, there’s the issue of a travel cap instead of a pouch. I’d have liked the trimmer attachment to be a bit straighter rather than being curved. I loved how the guys maintained the level of performance with this as well as the price.
This will be of great help to those of you who are tempted to apply too much pressure when shaving. In our Series 7 review we looked at how you could take the head of the series 7 and slide perfectly on to of the Series 5, picture below. The beard trimmer is identical to that of the Series 9.
Generally speaking, Philips Norelco Shaver 50xx are much cheaper than Braun Series 5 51xx for the extra charging station, pop-up trimmer and better motor. So, in this article, I will review the Braun Series 5190cc specifically, and it will also cover both Braun Series s and 5145s. The cleaning station does a “Reasonable” job at getting the debris out of the system. I’d say Braun Series 5 is good with beards and with sensitive skins.
I tried cleaning my 5018s exclusively in this manner for the first 3 shaves just to see how effective it is. But if you need to pre-trim a beard, it’s definitely better than any integrated trimmer. You’ll have to manually remove the cassette and pop it in its place every time you need to use it. If that’s how you use a trimmer in the majority of the time, you probably won’t like the trimmer attachment shipped with the Series s. Finally, the foil frame is unnecessarily wide and the head just doesn’t glide as easily on the skin. And this is quite important for getting a quick shave, especially if your beard is dense and thick.

It’s fairly quiet and does not vibrate too much in comparison to others.
I shall also mention who the Braun Series 5 is best suited for. Considering that you’ll be using the trimmer most of the time and occasionally the actual shaving head, the new Series 5 looks like a good option. But what if you purchased a Series 5 model that does not come with a cleaning station. Or maybe you want to take your shaver on vacation and don’t want the worry of bringing it along. The flexible shaving heads and pivoting shaving unit did their work as the razor glided over the jawline with little effort.
Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Do not reach for a charger that has fallen into water. When disconnected, the hand-held part of this shaving appliance may be used in a bath or shower.
I’d not say it’s “Super Accurate.” But it does the job. Then, it’ll select the level of cleaning your machine needs. This little element captures small hair strands that lay flat on our faces and in diverse, “Hard-to-Reach” locations. However, I needed to tilt the trimmer ever so slightly to get to certain hair strands. This is thanks to the fact that it sits in the middle of two blades. Now, to say this motor does it all, would be an understatement.
I couldn’t make out the details of what it showed. You get what you pay for in case of the 5190cc. For example, you’d find the on/off switch on the body. This is the point where I give you some numbers and some technical mumbo-jumbo. One good side about the product in question is that it’s lightweight and doesn’t feel imbalanced when you’re shaving with it.
