Braun Series 5 5190cc Review

The 5030s on the other hand is more powerful and deals better with longer hairs, which will likely require fewer strokes. It’ll probably take you less time to shave as well, further reducing the chances of irritation. Yes, the Series 5 is a suitable shaver for users with sensitive skin, especially in its price range.

Braun Series 5

All the new Series 5 shavers are fitted with a rechargeable Li-ion battery that provides up to 50 minutes of use. The Series 5 from Braun is one of the company’s most compelling lines of electric shavers for men. Also, I find the Arc 5 a bit too aggressive for shaving the head.

So if you’re in a rush, or if you often forget to charge your shaver, you still shouldn’t have any problems fitting in your morning shave. The outer foils have ActiveLift Trimmers, which are more adept at catching the hairs that lie flat against the skin and grow in different directions. The trimmer in the middle catches the longer hairs and trims them. You’ll also be able to see that some of the shavers tend to come with different accessories, like travel cases, or extra beard brushes.

Meanwhile, the trimmer catches hairs that are long and lie flat and pre-cut them for the foils to manage easily. The nimble Shaver provides clean, comfortable grooming, and it’s 100% waterproof, so you can safely clean the SensoFoil™ blades under running water. The older Braun Series 5 version is still popular and over rated for some reasons and the robust built quality is one of the main reasons. On the other hand, the EasyClean versions feel simpler and modern with more facilities. If you like a sturdier shaver with maximum shaving comfort, the older versions are absolutely a great choice. But the new EasyClean versions are also adorable for the price range and more facilities.

Snap the cassette back in place, add a bit of water to the foils and then pour some liquid soap on the foils. The pressure from the stream of water pushes those flaps inward and enters the head of the shaver, flushing away the hair clippings. However, most users won’t have that possibility and they’ll have to clean the shaver manually. But in my case, it doesn’t make much sense as I tend to shave Braun Series 5 often — every three days at most — so there’s no need to pre-trim my beard. As long as you stick to slower, controlled, shorter strokes and don’t press hard, it should be perfectly suitable even for someone with sensitive skin. The frames surrounding the three cutting elements are now made of plastic and they don’t move quite as easily and smoothly as in the case of the older Series 5 cassette.
