Inside the Series 5; the Lithium-ion battery takes an hour to charge and provides 45 minutes of shaving time. I found this number to be pretty close to the mark. I was able to get a full shaves out of it before having to recharge the battery. I will look at the using the cleaning station to charge your electrical shaver further down in the cleaning section. Etched into the trimmer molding are the words “Made in Germany”.
And that’s because the 5018s is significantly cheaper and the performance is also not quite at the same level as before. I wouldn’t be too worried about this as we’ve seen this happening with other newly launched Braun models in the past. Just make sure the cassette is completely dry before applying the lubricant. You may also use the included brush, but only on the inside of the cassette, never directly on the foils. But the truth is that it would have taken me less time to simply remove the cassette and give it a thorough rinse .
Precisely, it’s a workaround that should allow you to clean your shaver with water without removing the cassette. It also doesn’t vibrate as much as most Braun shavers when cutting the hairs. The Braun Series s is actually quiet for a foil electric shaver. Foil shavers aren’t usually very good at capturing and cutting Philips Norelco Shaver difficult facial hair. I used the 5018s both wet and dry, daily, every other day and I also skipped shaving on weekends to see how it copes with a longer beard. The EasyClean text is even printed right below the shaving head on the front of the razor and it’s also the first feature listed on the product page.

5 red bars each representing approximately 20% of charge will slowly deplete as you use the shaver. Unfortunately, the pop-up trimmer sits almost at the same height as the shaver head. This makes it incredibly difficult to see what it is you are trimming. When travel lock is activated, you will be unable to turn your shaver on by mistake. Every Bosch appliance displays the beauty of function. That’s why our designs are always timeless, never trendy.
Move the shaver head back and forth with your thumb and forefinger to alter the position. For me, I’d not compromise on comfort for the end of the world. Be as it may with a slower and noisier motor… the 5190cc is the ideal machine that suits my liking.
There’s no need to remove the shaver head to clean it as running water can flow through the cutting elements and rinse off any small hair. The Braun Series 5 electric shaver adapts according to your face’s natural contours. Return the appliance to a service center for examination and repair.
This is somewhat surprising since the old Series 5 had a flexible shaving head that worked really well in my experience. It took a good 2 minutes before I was confident I had cleaned the shaver. And even then I could make out some small dots of hair clippings here and there. Daily shaving will prevent hairs that grow in different directions from growing too long. While the shaver mowed these down when they were a fin stubble, once they grew they were the often missed, most noticeably on the neck and under the chin. The battery charge remaining can be seen with a quick glance of the screen.
The small size of the trimming head means that it will take forever to trim off an entire beard. It’s a sad fact that this trimmer just won’t replace your separate every-day beard trimmer. When travel lock is activated, a red padlock will appear on the Series 5 display screen . Pressing and holding the power button for another 3 seconds will disable travel lock. Sliding this button locks the shaver head into 1 of 5 different positions and stops it from moving back and forth, ideal for shaving tricky areas like under the nose.
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 Braun Series 5 rather than being curved. I loved how the guys maintained the level of performance with this as well as the price.
