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 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.
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.
One particular area I did have problems with where the hairs right under the bridge of my nose. It took some maneuvering but I was eventually able to slay these odd looking hairs. The first thing you will notice when you turn the shaver on is the vibration of the shaver body. Annoyingly strong to the point that if you have ticklish hands then this shaver will send you into fits of giggles. As you are no doubt aware, you face isn’t exactly flat. This is where the pivoting shaving unit comes in.
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 Braun Series 5 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.

Increased consumption of cleaning fluid.Drain of the Clean& Charge station is clogged.Clean the drain with a wooden toothpick. Insert shaver into the Clean & Charge Station and push it to the rear side of the station . Clean directly after shaving to allow enough time for drying.
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.
