Does everything I need
The Braun Series 5 is the same as the Series 6 but with an easy-clean head instead of a tilting head. It’s inexpensive, light weight, comfortable in your hand, relatively quiet and shaves as close as any electric. Seven shaves dropped the battery by a third, which is pretty good. It charges in about an hour, and like all wet-or-dry rechargeables, you can’t shave while charging. For trimming, you take the shaving head off and snap the trimming head on. That’s a lot of bother for trimming your sideburns, but quite handy if you have a beard.Note that the shaver has two modes, Locked and Unlocked. To switch modes, press the power button for 3 seconds. The shaver arrives in Locked mode, so hold the button down 3 seconds to unlock it and turn it on. After that, a quick tap on the power button will turn it on or off. When you’re packing for a trip hold the button down for 3 seconds again and the shaver will go back into Locked mode and won’t accidentally turn on. This is a very useful feature, but it baffled me for over an hour!

Closest Electric Shave
This has been the closest shaving electric razor that I have owned. It is also quiet and an ideal grip size. The trimmer is a minor inconvenience to switch from shaver to trimmer; but, once in place it is in a better position for control than some of the competing pop up trimmers.

Pretty near perfect.
About 3 weeks in on this purchase and happy with the shave quality and battery life so far. With all electric razors, it takes time to see if they will continue to make you happy. So far, so good.

Impressed. Why pay more?
Context: I havenât used a Norelco in 20 years, and Iâve never used a foil shaver before. But Iâve had to stop using blades as much as possible because of acne within 24 hours of shaving. No matter the razor/foam/gel/soap/water/nothing/prep. Intentional-looking âDon Johnsonâ is surprisingly time-consuming to achieve & maintain. So I finally decided to try an electric shaver again.Using the shaver: Iâve only used this once so far â normally Iâd wait longer to write a review, but why? Closeness is pretty amazing â about 12 hours closer than the last time I used a Norelco. Completely comfortable 1st time. As for handling, I donât know why anyone would need the Series 6 pivot or the series 7 swivel to steer this head over their face. Handle is a nice shape and size. Sound is a little plasticy, but not loud or annoying. Being able to rinse the head under the faucet (and wash with soap as needed!) is a revelation â Iâm glad I didnât pay extra for the bulky cleaning station.If youâre having trouble because âit wonât cutâ: My old Norelco would mow a short beard. This shaver wonât. If your beard has gotten to ~1/8â long then this shaver WILL NOT cut it. At All. You will need to use the trimmer head or clippers to mow your beard to no longer than 1/16â (possibly shorter) before this tool will work on it. Any hairs you missed with the clippers/trimmer you will have to go back and cut with one of those tools before this shaver will finish the job. I think thatâs the compromise you accept for the close shave this will give.The manual: I get the complaints, but there are, in fact, words that tell you what each set of pictures is explaining. The typeface for these descriptions is oddly tiny for the amount of space they take up in the layout, so theyâre easy to overlook. The pictures themselves are detailed, but in a way that requires close attention. I think this was âwrittenâ for people who grew up with graphic novels â the styles are very similar. For those of us with grey hair itâs not what weâre used to, but the information is thereâ¦Where itâs made: as of this review, the shaver & trimmer are made in Germany, while the charger, cleaning brush & snap-on head cover are made in China.Buying advice: The ânewâ series 7 has a swivel between the head and body, the ânewâ Series 6 has a pivot, the ânewâ Series 5 has a rigid connection. There are styling differences. Otherwise the specs and features of the shavers are identical.As other reviewers confirm, the ânewâ Series 7 head (73s) and the ânewâ Series 5/6 head (53b) are interchangeable. Visually they are identical except that the 53b bezel is black and the 73s bezel is silver. When I replace the head Iâll try a 73s to see if thereâs any cutting difference. Iâll bet there isnât.

Okay … Average shaver.
Average shaver, okay for it’s price, but not my favorite shaver. I’ve used Braun shaver my entire life. The product’s average, not great, not bad. My main dislike is that it doesn’t provide the cleanest shave. I will personally pay more for the 7 series which works fantastic and comes with a cleaning station too. Also dont like that it has a separate head for precision trimmer. Prefer the ones with precision trimmer built in. Just don’t find the switching of heads convenient.

Works very well and I love the battery operated part.
I have had, over the years, several electric shavers. And the quality of the shave was less than stellar. Then, for a period of maybe 30 years, I switched to a regular safety razor. That did a good job. But then, as happens to many of us older folks, I had to switch to blood thinners and it was strongly (!) recommended that I switch to an electric razor. Darn and double darn. I did some quick research and decided to buy a Braun 5. And, by golly, it does a pretty decent job. And I like the fact that it is battery powered. Overall quite pleased with it.

Very smooth shave!
I haven’t shaved with anything but a blade to shape my beard of 30+ years. I decided to shave it off and maintain a clean shave but didn’t want to use a razor every day so I bought this highly rated shaver.This thing shaves as close as my blade razor hands down. It’s been decades since I used an electric shaver and I can see they’ve made some great progress in the technology. The savings I’ll have from not having to buy blades will pay for this thing in a year.

Cambié del modelo básico de Braun de hace muchos años a una de 3 ruedas, no me vino bien y con esta sà da muy buenas rasuradas sin lastimar incluso. Se nota mucho una diferencia contra la anterior Braun

Iâve been using the Braun Electric Shaver for a few months now, and itâs been a game-changer for my morning routine. The shave is smooth and close, much better than I expected from an electric shaver. It handles both short stubble and a few days’ growth really well, and the flexible head adjusts nicely to the contours of my face. I was also impressed with how gentle it is on my skinâno irritation or razor burn, even with daily use.One feature I really appreciate is its wet and dry functionality. Iâve tried it with shaving gel and just dry, and it works great either way. The battery life is solid too; I get several shaves on a single charge, and it charges up fairly quickly when needed.Cleaning is super easy, as itâs fully washable under the tap, and the build quality feels premium and sturdy. Overall, itâs a fantastic shaver that makes the process fast and comfortable. If youâre looking for something reliable and efficient, Iâd highly recommend this one.

Leider bin ich drauf reingefallen, man hätte drauf kommen können.Das Gerät ist für den US Markt gedacht, hat also einen US Netz Stecker.Darauf wird aber im Angebot leider nicht hingewiesen.Ich habe erst später gesehen das im Preisfenster als Vertieb Amazone US steht,desweiteren hat das Gerät einen zusatz Modus (Turbo) der im Deutschen Marktscheinbar gar nicht Angeboten wird. In den erweiterten Beschreibungen wird auf evtl.andere Garantie Bedingungen hingewiesen, unter Umständen hätte man die in Amerika geltend machen müssen. Und die lange Lieferzeit hätte einen auch stutzig machen müssen.Und die Bewertungen waren alle in Englisch.Da das Gerät eine Universalpannung von 100 bis 240 Volt verträgt, kann man natürlich ein “Deutsches” Netzteil nach Ordern und die Grantie Ignorieren. Trotzdem wäre ein eindeutiger Hinweis hilfreich gewesen.Habe das Ding zurückgeschickt, da das nach Amazone Las Vegas geht, ist das Porto auch heftig:19,99 mit DHL ohne Versicherung. Auch diesen Klima FuÃabdruck hatte man sich Sparen können. SchadeHabe mir ein Europäisches nachbestellt, alles Top!
