Great features
3Braun shaver is a nice & small shaver so if your going on a weekend break or holiday its convenient. I found comfortable to hold & gives a clean shave leaving your face feeling nice n smooth. The good features that i like is after use its easy to clean, to store & has a Li'lon battery which is long lasting. No need to worry as you can use weather your face is wet or dry. My only downfall is the precision trimmer for me is not as sharp as other products out there.

Clean Shave
4This shaver is so fast and efficient, it definitely cut down the time I spend shaving every morning. In my case, the closeness was pretty good; in fact, it was better than expected with the three-blade shaving head. Build quality and ergonomics is nifty but I personally wish it was slighter smaller. Overall would recommend.

Not as easy as it sounds
3The Braun series 5...I was optimistic yet fully aware that this would not compare to the series 7 o 9 however thought the easy clean feature, if 'easy' enough could be a great introduction the the range. Unfortunately after running it under the tap for a while and trying to be thorough, it took a while to get the majority of the hairs out and there were still some left over. It actually seems easier to have a detachable head. The design is simplistic and unoffensive and the LED screen is a nice feature which is a positive however, whilst the product gives a close shave and it comfortable enough, I would prefer a more flexible head rather than the fixed head in the series 5. Overall a good value for money product but there is a significant step down form quality compared to the series 7.

Smooth shave
5This is a game changer for me. I have stubble/beard but always like to trim my neck to give a defined line. I usually just use the beard trimmer to create the line and never clip too short as I get a rash very easily. Having used this Braun series 5, it gives me a close shave as I would get with a wet shave and gives me no irritation or rash whatsoever. It is very smooth and gives fantastic results. Whether being used in the dry or in the shower, the results are always amazing. The battery life is very good and seems to charge quickly, there are led indicators on the front to tell you how much charge it has which are handy. The precision trimming tool is also handy to create the line if you do have facial hair. The attachments are interchangeable very easily and also allow for very easy cleaning. The materials used feel premium and make for easy operation. All in all a great shaver.

Good quality, underwhelming shave
4This razor looks beautiful. It is small and light but well designed and robust. The handle fits the hand well to allow for food control and the small size means it is easy to manoeuvre. I was a little upset not to see a docking station or similar, rather than just having the charger plug in. It would be much neater with a stand or similar. The change from the clipper or the shaver is easy, but attaches well making it not flimsy like other razors. The shaver catches the hair well but needs to be cleaned and emptied after every shave. I use the clippers more often than the shaver, but the shaver itself is good quality. I prefer ring electric shavers rather than straight designs, but this one works quite well even on the hard to reach areas around the jaw. The clippers work well, but it seems that the blades are hidden quite deep so it is difficult to be ultra-precise with them. Overall, this is a well-designed and good quality shaver that will last for a long time and shave well.

Makes shaving easy
5A fantastic electric shaver that cuts close to the skin and leaves my skin feeling really smooth. It's flexible blades give good precision and allows it to glide effortlessly over all areas of my face. The handle is easy to grip and feels comfortable in my hand. The attachments are really simple to change and are easy to clean. I love how its 100% waterproof so I'm able to shower and shave at the same time which is great when I'm in a hurry. Battery life is great. Would definitely recommend this product.

Clean and smooth
5It's a great shaver. No nicks or bumps are left. Its smooth when dry and I was sceptical of how it works on a wet shave... surprisingly well. The trimmer for the lines/edges. Usually on wet shavers the battery is a bit hit and miss but this one worked very well and keeps its charge.

Works with wet and dry
5The shaver is great for wet and dry shaving. Trimming stubble is quick and easy with the smooth head and using the precision head I can get nice and straight lines. I found it is best to cut a line with the precision head and then go over with the smooth head for a close cut. The battery lasts quite a while and charges quick too. It can be a little hard to clean but it’s not too much of an issue. Overall a great and easy to use shaver.

High quality, multifaceted shaver
4I've varried between wet shaving and using beard trimmers during my life, i don't have very thick facial hair so when i used an electric shaver when younger the result wasn't great and since i have just found it easier to use a trimmer. However since using my new Braun shaver i have the best of both worlds, the trimmer attachment gets me down to a stubble that the close shaver then clears to a close shave that rivals a wet shave without all the hassle. It's got great power so it feels like it glides over all hairs with minimal effort, and its very comfortable on your face with all 3 sections of the shaver clip having up/down and sideways movement to roll over jaw and cheek bones. The charger is efficient and battery life is great, no issues with loss of power when at half charge. Also being able to charge in the bathroom and use in a wet environment is ideal. The process of getting a smooth shave all over takes a while which could be just a much due to my relatively fine hair but stops me giving 5 stars. Its also very easy to remove and click on the different attachments which makes cleaning and switching effortless. Overall very pleased with it, a high quality and professional feeling piece of kit.

Great shaver
5I’ve used this once so far, and I’ve got to say it is very impressive. I’ve owned a few electric shavers before and they always promise a ‘close shave’ . closest shave an electric has ever given me personally, although to be honest it’s not as smooth as when I wet shave using disposable razors, Nevertheless, still very happy with the closeness. The precision trimmer works very well too, giving a nice, perfect finish to my sideburns. I must also say that I was surprised at how quiet it was whilst using it, I was expecting it to be louder.. I also found it extremely easy to clean after use, which is a bonus. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone, it really is a good piece of kit and comes in at a very reasonable and affordable price.
