I am convinced that flexible heads are a must on foil shavers, the difference they make in terms of comfort is surprising . 1 full charge provides up to 3 weeks’ worth of shaving. 5 min quick charge is sufficient for 1 full shave. Braun Series cc is equipped with a high-performance and high-capacity battery that can last up to 50 minutes with 1 hour of charging. Ordinary people spend at least 5 minutes shaving daily, and with this model, you can use it for at least ten days before you need to recharge. Braun Series cc is the most expensive Braun Series 5 lineup and comes with a Clean and Charge station.

I tried to test it in a variety of scenarios so I can get a better understanding of its pros and cons and when this shaver would be a suitable option. For this review, I’ve been using the Braun Series s exclusively for almost two weeks. The battery indicator is very basic, with only 3 levels, each one representing a third of the battery capacity. Charging the 5018s from 0 to 100% takes around one hour. The charger (type 492-XXXX) has a USA plug and will work anywhere in the world (100–240v). Nevertheless, the battery life has been solid during my tests with the Series s.
This is best used when movement would make shaving tricky, like just above your upper lip. Unlike all the other electric shaving brands, Braun’s cleaning cartridges are alcohol based. Oddly enough, the cleaning station looks near identical to that found in the box of Braun’s top end shaver, the Series 9. It’s definitely one of the better looking cleaning docks on the market. As you can see in the image above, it is pretty straightforward to engage the pop-up precision trimmer. You need to push the button at the back and slide the precision trimmer.
It is very easy to clean and can be washed with warm water without removing the blades while shaving with it, but after using it, it still requires cleaning properly. I still remove the blades to make sure it’s cleaned very well. This model has a fixed shaving head which is not as flexible while shaving as the higher-priced flexible head models. Buyers are looking at paying more for shavers with a flexible head compared to this model. Very good ergonomics and the slimline design with hand grips does make the series 5 very comfortable to use. The most fragile part of this shaver and all other electric shavers seems to be the head section with the cutters otherwise the whole unit feels solid.
What I do is I manually clean the cassette . This saves me some liquid and gets “Most” hair strands out of the system. Another thing to note is the fact that Alcohol is a fast-drying solvent. Users will have to buy the cartridge Remington Shaver frequently to keep the performance to the desired level. Do this and the dock will analyze the level of hygiene Braun 5190cc stands at. Just so you know, the status varies depending on the time and level of usage.
As we mentioned earlier, Braun’s charger is the only one to ship with a coiled cord. Like the kind you find on the handset of your office phone. In an effort to help those of you with poor shaving technique, the shaving heads have a certain amount of give.
