Braun Series 5 51-W1600s Electric Shaver for Men with EasyClick Body Groomer Attachment, EasyClean, Wet & Dry, Rechargeable, Cordless Foil Razor, White

Product Information

You can of course opt for a solo model like 5140s/5145s and clean it manually, but I think the station is really handy for cleaning the shaver thoroughly a few times a month. To clean the shaver, you just need to hold it under the tap and water at the neck and the program will clean the shaver. And despite using the same names, they clearly are a whole different range of products and not intended to replace the current ones. For your precaution, you can purchase an extra Replacement Head since you mentioned it would be challenging to find the spare parts in your country. Apart from the huge third-party cases that can fit a cord, no other manufacturer offers a hard case that can accommodate the cord as well.

Braun Series 5 51-W1600s Electric Shaver with Body Groomer

Good for sensitive skin, does not leave any marks on your skin, easy one bottom use, no noise, good charging time. That is also reflected by the fact that the Series 5 is very similar to the Series 7 in terms of performance and quality. As usual, I spent about a month using and testing out the Braun Series 5 electric shaver to maximize how it performs. Your skin will need some time to adjust to the new way of shaving and your technique will also get better as time passes. I am used to the wet shave (traditional), but you mentioned that Braun series is not recommended for wet shaves.The downside of this is that it takes longer for the cleaning fluid to dry, but with no impact on the lifespan of the shaver. However, the cleaning station is there for the convenience, so if you want to save some money, getting a solo model like the 5040s is definitely a viable option as well. Some may like it, but for me the popup trimmer on current Panasonic shavers works a lot better for edging and trimming my sideburns.

Braun Series 5 50-W1600s Foil shaver Trimmer White

Browsing reviews for 5050cc I came across one in which someone as a flaw said that the head casing looks like aluminum and that it is unwise to rub the face of aluminum everyday. The Braun 5190cc is the updated model of the Braun 5090cc that comes with an automatic cleaning and charging station.The Braun 50-R1000s is part of the new Series 5 line introduced in 2020, so it’s not included in this article as those are completely different shavers (I even mentioned that at the beginning). Also, my guess is that in an attempt to get a clean shave, you may have pressed the shaver too hard. It is super secure to handle with a wet hand because of its textured rubber grip that feels super comfortable at the grasp. And considering the costs (of the shaver and cassettes) and the availability, I think the Series 5 makes more sense.

I would personally go for the 5195cc as I do like to thoroughly clean my shaver in the station every once in a while, but it depends also on how much are you willing to spend for a new electric shaver. The different numbers correlate with color, the country they are sold, and the accessories or attachments the razor is sold with. While Panasonic shavers are in general easier to clean manually, in your case I think a Braun will be much better suited for the job. However as for it being a shaver too, I felt as in the shave was too close and was difficult to get the motion. If you see the older generation Braun Series 5 shavers, there is no facility to trim the beard in different lengths.It’s very difficult to say if they actually use higher capacity batteries or Braun simply changed their testing methodology. I am leaning towards same simple solution that has separate foil and cutter so I do not need cleaning station.
