2020 New generation – It’s worth noting that this shaver is from the 2020 new generation of series 5 shavers. There have been some changes since the pre-2020 models with pros and cons, but let’s stick to the current versions for this review article. The Philips Norelco Shaver 5020cs, 5018s, 5035s, 5049cs, 5050cs are the US models, and the 50-B1200s, 50-W4650cs, 50-M4500cs , 50-W1500s , 50-B4650cs are the EU/UK models. They’re the exact same shaver and there are likely more model numbers, but that covers more than enough.
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.
For you the simplicity and convenience the cleaning station brings will be more than worth the small price of buying replacement cleaning cassettes. Unfortunately, the Series 5 charger cord is the shortest of any major shaver brands. As you may have guessed by the name, travel lock is most commonly used when you are squashing your electric shaver into an already overflowing luggage. You may charge without the cumbersome charging station by connecting the cord straight to the shaver.
The Foil gives the closest shaves from an electric Razor, however nothing is better than steel blades for close evening entertainment. Change cleaning cartridge at least every 8 weeks. The lock symbol lights up in the display when the shaver has been locked to avoid unintended starting of the motor (e.g. for storing it in a suitcase). To shave hard-to-reach areas (e.g. under the nose) slide the MultiHeadLock switch down to lock the shaver head. The shaver head can be locked in five positions. The charge status is shown in the shaver display .During charging the respective charging segment will blink.
You’ll find a rubberized grip that covers the sides of this product. I expected the boys to compensate with a textured, long grip to complement wet shaving. With the price hovering between $140 – $160, this is one product that packs the punch Braun Series 5 when it comes to performance and maintenance. I got the “Full” Braun treatment with the package when it arrived. If the shaver is regularly cleaned with water, apply a drop of light machine oil on top of the foil once a week for lubrication.
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.
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 Remington Shaver 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.
Here in this blog, I share my personal experience on electric shaver specifically. Unlike the Braun Series s, there is no foil shaver replacement indicator on display. It is recommended to change the shaver head around 12 to 18 months after purchase.
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.
