Sleek, easy to use and perfect for a wet or dry sh

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] The Braun Series 5 shaver is a must have! It’s simple to use, charge it in its station and use for wet or dry shaving. Its sleek design makes it easy to hold and navigate across the contours of your face. It’s completely waterproof (just make sure to unplug the charging cable), so that you can use it in or out of the shower. The battery charge is long lasting too! You can even use this with your favourite shaving cream or gel. The final shave is smooth just like a razor blade but without the cuts or irritation. It’s super easy to clean, just remove the head and rinse under running water. Or alternatively you can purchase the cleaning station which cleans and lubricates keeping your shaver in perfect working condition. The Braun Series 5 is lightweight and easy to carry with you to the gym, work or for travelling. Great quality product for a perfect shaving experience!

Shaves very well

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] I’ve had this shaver for a few months now and it shaves really well. It’s very comfortable. I’ve had no issues since I use a rotary shaver. The version without the accessories I don’t have a beard and I keep my sideburns straight with a disposable razor so they seemed pretty pointless. A full charge lasts about three weeks or a day or less. I used to have a high-end rotary shaver that would shave for 90 minutes, but razor manufacturers don’t seem to make razors with batteries that big anymore.

Perfect- leaving soon smooth while providing a cle

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] Alright, here's my honest take on the Braun Series 5 52-A1000s shaver, which was provided to me free of charge in exchange for this review. Let's dive into the details: Packaging: The shaver arrived in a clean and well-presented box. It felt sturdy enough to protect the device during shipping, and the contents were neatly organized. Inside, I found the shaver itself, a charging cable, a cleaning brush, and the instruction manual. Nothing overly fancy, but functional and what you'd expect for a shaver in this category. Versatility: The Braun Series 5 52-A1000s is primarily designed for dry shaving. While it boasts being "Wet&Dry," meaning it's waterproof and can be used with shaving foam or gel, I found its strength lies in dry shaving. It tackled stubble effectively without any product. However, when used wet, I didn't notice a significant improvement in closeness or comfort. It lacks interchangeable heads for trimming longer hairs or detailed styling, which limits its versatility somewhat compared to some higher-end models. Effectiveness: For its primary function – providing a clean shave – the Braun Series 5 52-A1000s performs admirably. The three flexible blades contour to the face well, and I experienced a noticeably smooth result, especially on shorter stubble. It managed to cut hairs close to the skin without requiring excessive passes, which is a definite plus. I found it less effective on longer, uneven growth, where a pre-trim might be necessary. Comfort: Comfort is a significant factor for any shaver, and the Braun Series 5 52-A1000s fares well in this regard. The shaver head glides smoothly over the skin, and I didn't experience any significant irritation or pulling during dry shaving. The ergonomic design of the handle makes it comfortable to hold and maneuver. Even during longer shaves, it didn't feel bulky or unwieldy. Durability: While I haven't had the shaver for an extended period, the build quality feels solid and reassuring. The materials used seem durable, and the shaver has a weight that suggests longevity without feeling heavy. The waterproof design adds to its durability, offering peace of mind against accidental splashes or for easy cleaning under the tap. Based on my initial impressions, I'd expect this shaver to hold up well with regular use. Overall: The Braun Series 5 52-A1000s is a reliable and effective shaver for everyday dry shaving. It delivers a close and comfortable shave, and the build quality appears to be good. While it might lack the ultimate versatility of models with interchangeable heads and didn't offer a dramatically different experience when used wet, its core function of providing a smooth shave is well executed. For someone looking for a dependable and comfortable dry shaver at a reasonable price point, the Braun Series 5 52-A1000s is certainly worth considering. Remember, this shaver was provided to me for free in exchange for my honest feedback, and this review reflects my genuine experience with the product.

Reliable and comfortable

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] I let my facial hair grow a little more than usual so I could really test this product. One of the small things that I like about this shaver is it beeps when you plug it in, which is helpful. It's also disabled whilst charging, so you can't actually use it if it's plugged in. On the initial charge, the shaver lasted around two hours, give or take. The packaging boasts a 5 minute charge for a single shave. In my experience, the shaver lasted for around 8 minutes on a 5 minute charge, which is more than enough time to get rid of a 5 o'clock shadow. Overall, the shave doesn't feel especially close unless you take your time, you have to be very slow, which is not the case with other shavers I've previously used. Sometimes it takes a few strokes to get all the facial hair. I tried a dry and a wet shave, and the only real difference is it's not as troublesome to clean up after a wet shave, which is normal. Both wet and dry shaves were equally as comfortable, but obviously the wet shave is much easier. You might get a few hard tugs if your facial hair is longer than 5-6mm, but I was fine with my facial hair around 5mm. I've used it a few times and I've not experienced any ingrown hairs or anything afterwards, so this alone makes it preferable to lower-tier shavers. I guess the only thing I would wish for this product is that it came with a basic stand. It does however come with a small cleaning brush and a protective cap. You can buy accessories for it separately, such as a Cleaning Station, but for me, it's not necessary because the shaver is easy to clean. All in all, the shaver is robust and easy to maintain. It's convenient if you've got a lot of time for a closer shave, but it also works if you're in a rush; I doubt anyone would notice if you haven't shaved thoroughly with this product.

So soft and gentle!

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] I'm never going back to using razor blades. This machine was so gentle on the skin whilst doing a great job of shaving the beard. The only problem I faced was that it is not great for thin, long strands of hair, which it can't effectively shave. However, for thick hair, it's perfect. The battery life is amazing, and the ability to lock it when not in use is fabulous.

Disappointed with Performance Despite Good Design

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] I had high hopes for the Braun Series 5, but unfortunately, it just doesn’t shave well at all. I’ve tried everything—multiple passes, dry and wet shaving, and even followed all the cleaning and maintenance recommendations. Still, the shave is patchy, misses hair, and just doesn’t come close to the smooth results I expected. After doing some research and reading other reviews, it seems I’m not alone—many users report similar issues with effectiveness. That said, the design is sleek and the razor feels very comfortable in the hand. It’s lightweight, easy to grip, and clearly well-made from a physical standpoint. I just wish the performance lived up to the look and feel. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for a reliable, close shave.

Finally a decent shave...

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] As a man in his senior years my facial skin isn't as 'tight' as it used to be. On trying this beauty it shaves better than others I have tried over the years. The rubber type handling is quality and handles well. A nice long charge and covers the face closely and with ease. Easy to clean as well. Thoroughly recommend this for all ages....

Great alternative to daily wet shaving!

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] The product came packaged well in a sturdy box and I liked that it’s all recyclable. It would be nice to have a dust bag to keep the cable and extra heads together. The shaver didn’t come pre-charged which I don’t see as an issue as I like to make sure these are fully charged before using, under an hour and it had a full charge. On using the shaver I didn’t feel any snagging or pulling on hairs, being able to use it in the shower allowing for warm water on the skin really minimised any skin discomfort, the other plus was being able to rinse the head under water to get rid of any hair. I like to maintain a smooth shave and over the last 10 days i’ve only had to use a razor over the sink once, and this has kept up with keeping the stubble away! I do think this shaver is best for those who shave frequently (every day to a few days), who might not want to have a traditional wet shave every time.

Comfortable on Skin

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] After having a Wahl shaver for years I decided to use the Braun Series 5 Shaver and boy was I satisfied with the quality of the product (Used it twice since recieving). Arrived packaged beautifully with a neat box and purpose of the product listed on the packaging. It fits neatly in your hand so feels comfortable when using the actual product. Its waterproof and has two shave modes which is brilliant when you want a different look. In terms of battery life used it twice so far still going with a 20 min charge.
