I have to sing praises of the 8-direction movement of the shaving head as well. This aids the product in comforting us while shaving. There ARE no snags or awkward pulling of the beard while it does its job. You’d need the head to detach quickly for that to happen and it does. Again, there’s a loud “Click” when it pops out.

Now, fortunately, the cleaning station does an incredibly thorough job at removing any traces of hair. In fact, the best out of all the big brands. If you treat this as a shaver that you must use with the cleaning station then you won’t be disappointed. Braun’s cleaning stations work the best out of all the major brands and the Series 7 did not disappoint. The alcohol based cleaning detergent thoroughly removed all traces of hair clippings and even lubricated the blades. The amount of cleaning required is determined by the amount of time the shaver has been used, not by how dirty the shaving heads actually are.
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 Philips Norelco Shaver 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.
This is a dual-voltage charging station we’re talking about. I’d keep Braun Series 5 , ahead of the curve when discussing the LED. Yes, the LED display is definite improvement when you compare it with series 7.
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 .
As usual, I spent about a month using and testing out the Braun Series 5 electric shaver to maximize how it performs. The above model numbers are all fundamentally the same shaver with the same design, cutting power, and ability available. I’m coming from a really old model 8590 activator. Regarding the cleaning, warm tap water and optionally some liquid soap would probably be the best option .
The 73b was just a bit too grabby and harsh. The closeness was about the same when fitted to the Series 5 . If you plan on shaving less often or have Braun Series 5 a coarser beard, I think you’ll be happier with this one. While definitely more expensive than the 5018s, the 5140s is a better shaver in every way.
