Braun series 5 5140s
4Having used this razor for a couple of weeks now, i can safely say i'm pretty impressed with it. i currently own the s3 and feel i get a much quicker and cleaner cut, with this model. Being follicly challenged i also use this razor to shave my head and it does an even better job there than on my face. there are a few areas where i have to wiggle the razor around to get a few stray hairs, but generally very good. Also running the razor under a warm tap, helps to glide across your face better and also washers hair from the razor. Gave 4 star rating, as i feel the upgrade to series 7 or 9 would give another leap in performance, maybe i'll be lucky enough to try one of them one day.

5This is my new best friend in the morning. It glides through my face without any pulling. I allways used to get shaving rash but not with this bad boy it leaves my face silky smooth. The design is icredabale hats off to Braun you have nailed it with this one. It's dose not slip out of your hand when it wet really comfy to hold. I actually enjoy shaving now.

Good but not great
3It looks good and I was very impressed how quickly it cut 90% of the hairs definitely quicker than my current electric razor however it took ages to get the last 10%. Overall I was reasonably happy but if I bought this razor before my old model broke I would be disappointed.

The electric razor I've always wanted
5I'm a bit of a flirt when it comes to razors - I've used a number of different brands of electric razor over the years, foil and rotary, and every now and then I'll turn to the wet shave for a change. The Braun 5140s Wet and Dry shaver is at the top end of the electric razors I've used, and boy is the difference obvious! Out of the box there is the shaver itself, the usual cleaning brush, protection cap and power cable (I always seem to lose the protection caps after a few trips with my electric shavers, so I'm going to have to work on that or keep this one safely in the bathroom!). Anyway, you have the basics (I believe there is the option to pay a bit extra and get the shaver with a charging base if you prefer that). I don't know how many languages most people know, but the instruction booklet includes plenty of them (so clearly this is a product that travels the globe looking for a home). Having read the instruction, much of it was common sense. Charging takes an hour for almost the same time in use. The shaver is totally waterproof (so nice and easy to clean under the tap - probably best not to go diving with it though). It has a removable head (no shaver stays sharp forever sadly) which can be left to move freely or locked into set positions if you prefer. So to the shave. As you'd expect for the price, this is not a shaver that is going to leave you with an unwanted designer stubble. Its as close a shave as any electric shave I've ever had (but lets face it, nothing electric ever gets as close as a barber wet shave - anyone telling you different is fibbing), and (as I mentioned at the start) when I fancy a wet shave, I now have the option of the old blade or the Braun electric to have a wet shave with the soap - nice! The product blurb says that the shaver uses technology to read the beard and adjust, giving that closer, smoother shave. The detail of that goes over my head, but the closeness of the shave is very noticeable. There is the usual slide up trimmer for those who like sculpting a beard (I don't, so that for me is used just to get the even cut on the sides and the odd nosehair). To round up, a quality product, smooth and close wet or dry shave that really is worth the extra few pounds over a run of the mill alternative, and waterproof so you won't actually destroy it when it gets its head wet. I highly recommend you give it a go.

Very well designed electric razor
3The razor is very well designed with a great locking feature which is great with the children around. I love that you can use wet or dry and with shave foam/gel. My only criticism is that for my job I need to shave every day however this does not give a clean enough shave for work in that no matter how much I try it always misses a few hairs or doesn’t cut quite short enough. Ideal for the weekends as it’s a break from a standard razor.

Excellent razor
5When 1st came to use it I hadn't shaved for a few days so it was having to handle more than just a little stubble. When this razor I was able to go from that length of facial hair to nearly clean shaven in 1 go. It didn't get all of those pesky harder to get areas in 1 go but it did pick them up the next day.

New Braun 5140s game changer
4Well having always being a lititle sceptical of foil type electric razors trying the Braun series 5 5140s is a bit of a game changer for me feels well built and designed well to fit into your hand with cutters between the 2 foils helps cut down longer hairs and the ability to lock the moving shaver head in place was a great help. took this with me to the USA for a 2 week tryout and didn't let me down great job even in the shower good job all round

Sensitive on my skin
4Using this every day has left my skin smooth and clear. The shaver is loader then the average and has a good weight. Long battery life and perfect rotating speed. To make this product even better I would recommend instructions in english. Design wise this shaver is sleek and easy to use. With a trimmer at the back and the ability to lock the head making shaving a breeze.

Love this shaver
5Having used several different brands of electric shaver including a series 3 Braun which lasted several years before it gave up the ghost I was itching to give this new series 5 shaver a try to see how it compares. This shaver has worked brilliantly and gives a very good close shave with the minimum of effort and hassle, it is even much easier to clean as with the touch of a button the head pops open and as it’s a wet and dry shaver I can simply give it a rinse under the tap. It also charges up very quickly and lasts absolutely ages before needing to charge it back up again. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this device and have done so to friends who enquired asking how I got on with it, definitely recommend anyone gives it a try.

Braun Series 5 5140s
5Always concerned of the fact my face and ‘I’ have never got on with Electric Shavers previously, and have taken two weeks using the product to give an insight into my experience thus far. Started with a day’s growth, the 5140 performed really well, seemed to complete the job in super quick time with little effort or multiple passes across the face, and to my surprise with little after effect of rashes to the area, which normally ensues after shaving. So really pleased 1 to 2 days’ worth of growth it worked faultlessly. The real test came in week 2, decided to wait 5 days to give the shaver a thorough and stern test, it did take longer as expected as the neck area needed a lot of attention to clear any hair, but it still did a great job, the only downside and as expected was a little bit of shaving rash, which soon calmed down with a splash of cold water and some moisturiser. So far overall it’s been a delight using the Braun, I must say it’s well designed, charges quick, easy to clean, and above all does what you want from a shaver it works perfectly well in dry or wet conditions, and leaves you feeling smooth for the day ahead, perfect if you work in an environment that demands smart appearance. Which kind of matches the look and feel of the 5140 In the past I have been wary about purchasing electric shavers thinking they are too cumbersome, slow and overall a pain, when you can just pick up a razor. However using the Braun 5140 for the past 2 weeks has been a joy, I would highly recommend it, it’s converted me and it’s a great and easy start to each day, and if you’re really skilful you can shave and brush your teeth at the same time, that’s how easy this thing is to use! Don’t be hesitant give the Braun a go, you really won’t be disappointed, if you want a shaver that ticks all the boxes you will not be let down.
