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.

When the cleaning indicator lights up in the shaver display, insert the shaver into the C&C, as described above. Using the special cord set , connect the station power socket to an electrical outlet. The Clean&Charge Station has been developed for cleaning, charging, lubricating, disinfecting, drying and storing your Braun shaver. If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of light machine oil on top of the Foil & Cutter cassette. Next, switch off the shaver, press the release button to remove the Foil & Cutter cassette and let it dry. A full charge provides up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving time.

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.
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 Braun Series 5 with it.

Unless you have super-sensitive hands, you won’t be able to feel a grain of hair when measuring the performance. This is a topic for the latter part of the review. I already told you guys, “Braun has three cutting elements.” Two of these are SensoFoil blades.
