Braun Series 5 Shaver with Precision Trimmer

Just an update on my last review of this series 5. It only shaves slightly closer than my series 9 if i keep going over and over again in the same area. Which kind of defeats the object of a quick shave!. Overall, the 9 is better, especially if you're in a bit of a rush. And it's sooooo smooth on your skin. I actually look forward to shaving now!. Result!😃.

I'm simply gobsmacked. As long as i use a good quality pre shave lotion,this 5 series shaves a bit closer than my series 9!. And i don't know why!. No offense to Braun, but from my point of view, the series 5 is a bit like a good old fashioned shaver. It's not laden down with tech. It just goes about its job very efficiently. Bravo Braun!.

Haven't had this long, is a decent shaver however the foil has broken prematurely and cut my face. Looking on the 2 year guaranty that is offered, the foil isn't covered!

First time I've had a foil shaver in almost twenty years... they've come on a fair bit in that time! Compared to my previous rotary models, it shaves a tad closer, while also being quicker, and noticeably gentler on the skin. The shaver itself is light and comfortable in the hand, and quieter than expected. I rather like the separate detail trimmer, it just feels more intuitive and easy to control while trimming my moustache. Everything comes apart easily for cleaning, and it charges quickly too. Sadly no travel case included, but I can always pick one of those up separately at a later time.

This is a great shaver - I especially like the fact I can use it in the shower in the shower or dry shave I’m in a hurry. It simple and easy to use and glides am smoothly across my face, leaving for a clean even shave.

I tried to buy the product for delivery the next day, I ended up giving up after three days without delivery. It was a birthday present, I could have bought something else but they guaranteed delivery in 24 hours. After contacting customer service I was left with the impression that they are unaware of the law and try to deceive. I can only wait and pray. I do not recommend!

Was very eager and excited to receive this product as there is never a good body grooming shaver. But upon reading reviews, I was waiting in anticipation for this product. However, be known to my knowledge, the courier had not informed me of their attempts to deliver and so therefore sent the product back to sender. Very disappointed.

I've had several S3s where the precision trimmer flips up. On the S5 however, it is an attachment so when you want to use it, you have to take the main foil off and spill hair everywhere in order to attach it, which is no where near as convenient as the S3 which you could use whilst using the main shaver. It's also another thing to carry when travelling. It has a poorly fitting head cover which comes off in your bag, and again, spills hair over your clean clothes - not a problem the S3 had.

This arrived just in time to help tame my lockdown beard! First thing I noticed when I took this out the box is just how stylish it looked. I was very impressed with the design, it fit perfectly in my hands and was very comfortable to hold. When it came to the performance it didn't disappoint either! I was able to get a very close shave both in and out of the shower. The attachments were okay, but I could have done with a few more options.

As far as electric shavers go this delivers, works well for both a dry and wet shave and gives a relatively close shave and is smooth which is the main thing, I haven't had any nicks from using it. The precision attachment works well for any neck lines you want to define. The battery life is pretty good and lasts a few weeks depending how often you use it.
