[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] I’ve been using this now for three weeks and it has been wonderful. I enjoy the silky smooth finish it leaves. It glides over the skin and stubble and leaves zero redness. The ability to use it wet makes this razor rise above what I’ve used before. Just perfect for neck shaves and the trimmer allows precise edging for my beard.

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] Have used this for a dry shave and it gives an amazing close shave as you would get with a traditional razor. It's incredibly easy to clean and is slim which is good when handling it and storing it. Have yet to try it for a wet shave. Haven't suffered any nicks or cuts yet which is a good sign!

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] The shaver has some good points for me. It shaves well, but I would say not as well as a wet shave, and appears to hold charge in it battery well. As a travelling shaver this is fine. But to use every day, there are two or three things that I struggle with. 1. Using it dry, I find that I get a shaving rash - now I think this is more to do with me than the shaver, however I find it an issue. 2. Using it wet it is OK, but it doesn't have strap or anything to catch it by if it slips in your hand and falls to the floor. 3. It doesn't have a stand for the shaver or any cable tidy for the cable, therefore they just have to put in a cupboard which I don't like. Also the trimmer attachment just has to be left in the cupboard and I keep misplacing it. I prefer shavers to have everything built in to them. Overall, I would say it is OK, its primary goal is to be a shaver, and it does that OK. However it is the 'living with' part of it that is where I start to struggle as it is very basic and that shows through.

The handle is easy non slip grip and even a dry shave looks like I used a razor. I have NEVER had such a close shave from an electric device. The attachments are easy to change and clean and this is an all round great product for at home and travelling.

It's flexible blades give good precision, charging remains for an hour use. Love the precision trimmer for my side burns too.

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] I’ve got sensitive skin so usually opt for a wet shave but it’s difficult to take abroad. I got this for when I need a quick tidy up and don’t have access to everything I would usually use. Excellent for travelling. Simple to operate and wonderfully easy to clean. Fantastic shaver.

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] I’d been getting fed up with wet shaving so thought I would get one of these as it does dry shaving and wet shaving depending on what you feel like. In the past I’ve found dry shavers chew at my stubble so I was apprehensive. I needn’t have been - most comfortable and closest dry shave I’ve ever had! Then I tried just wet and it felt good! Just like an electric shave but it glides smoother. Finally I tried with shaving gel. Seemed weird to use this with an electric but it’s simply awesome! Every bit as good as a wet shave but without the pain or risk of cuts and no more blunt blades to constantly keep replacing. Instead of shaving twice a week when I can be motivated I’m shaving almost daily. The only downside is my wife appears to want to kiss me again. Cleaning is a doddle - run it under the tap. Leave it to dry. That’s it. Good work, Braun.

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] This is a decent shaver for a close shave and better than others I've used historically, it follow the contours of your face well and is very easy to clean. The beard attachment is good for sideburns and battery charge time short with long life when charged.

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] I wet shaves or uses hair clippers. I like it cuts close enough so I don't have to shave every other day although my hair is mildly wet it sometimes doesn't cut and has to apply pressure and go over the same spot a few times. Being curved it's also difficult for me to trim just under his nose closely though. The battery lasts a long time though and it's easily cleaned. It suits me because I takes it to work and shaves in the mornings to save time. I can't comment on foil sharpness or lifespan because we've only had it a few weeks

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] I have been shaving with a blade for most of my life, and never really tried a shaver machine before. I thought I'd give this series 5 a chance after it was recommended to me, and I have to say I'm super happy and annoyed i didn't try one sooner! This little machine does what it says on the tin - good shave all around. nice and close (as good as my razor). not too noisy. charge lasts well (10 shaves so far and it's still going). Seriously one of the best things I've ever bought - has drastically simplified my shaving routine - HIGHLY recommended
