Braun Series 5 5018s Review: Is The New Generation Better?

Part of the test was to also use the shaver on various amounts of hair growth (i,e,. daily, every 2 – 3 – and 4 days). With most electric shavers including this Braun, up to 2 or 3 days is best, but I do like to push them a little at first for review Remington Shaver purposes. Unboxed a buyer gets the shaver, manual, charging power lead, a trimmer, and a small cleaning-up brush with the 5018S (50-B1200S) model I purchased. The standard 5 series comes with no attachments and others have various attachments.

View the full Series 5 range below and don’t forget your replacement foils. Or if you are looking for an upgrade then why not opt for the Series 9 Pro, for the next level shaving experience.

Alternatively, you can also throw in your method — using the Jet Clean solution which is detergent-based and should work really well. It also has lubricating properties, but unless you’ll be using it after every shave, I think you’ll still have to oil the shaver yourself once or twice a week. You can read my complete guide to lubricating your electric shaver for more details.

I’m not too crazy about getting the “Closest” one possible. I didn’t use the brush on the foil system blades. The soap drops got inside the blade mechanism. Then, I decided to let the shaver run for a few minutes. Braun 5190cc features a Li-On battery that boasts 50 minutes of cordless runtime.

These attachments are easily clipped on and off just like the blade head mentioned above. I only shave every 2 or 3 days (I’m retired and can get away with that). Unfortunately, if I do that this razor does not cut all the beard growth and leaves hairs. You have to go over repeatedly, Braun Series 5 or in my case, go over with my old Norelco I wanted to replace. If I shave again the next day, I am happy with this Braun, otherwise it is a disappointment. The Li-ion battery will ensure up to 50 minutes worth of cordless use, with the option of a 5-minute quick charge function.

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 with it. Free 48-hour delivery, or same-day delivery for an extra fee.
