Series 5 electric shaver Charging Stand Beard Trimmer Body Groomer

First time I've ever used an electric razor as I've been used to using a manual one for quite a number of years. It's not a bad bit of kit but the only issue is that you have to go over certain areas to get a somewhat decent result. A massive plus point is that I've learnt that it's less abrasive in your face as it doesn't pull it and it's good for sensitive skin. It's only my first day using it and I'm quite hopeful to get a better result once I'm used to using it. Still recommend it to other people without a doubt.

I got this product a while back and have been testing and using it thoroughly. It’s trimming functionality is superb along with sensitive blades for sensitive skin. However as for it being a shaver too, I felt as in the shave was too close and was difficult to get the motion.

I have bought this item a couple of weeks ago. It turned out, it wasn't up to my expectations. All the reviews on Braun Shop website are positive (4 and 5 starts), so I thought this shaver might be good, especially given the price. This is actually my second attempt to post a review here. My previous 1-star review wasn't published (even after I contacted Customer Support Team). Hopefully, this review will get through. The charging post is small and does not fit fully into the shaver, so you have to be careful to ensure the contact is good when charging it. As a beard trimmer this item is frankly bad: you have to maintain certain angle between your skin and the blade, otherwise the trimmed hair length will be different. I ended up with patches of almost naked skin, and this wasn't the first time I was trimming my beard. The head for clean shave a kind of works but I had to scrub my skin for a long time to achieve what I could have achieved with a cartridge razor in one go. It just doesn't pick up all the hair. I would expect much better performance for such a steep price.

I hoped to have comfortable shaving with this item, but it turned out that it is not very good as beard trimmer and is even less apt for clean shave. It misses hair at random places and I have to rub my skin several times at the same place to shave it. I tried different heads included in the package, and it looks like you have to make sure the angle between the razor and your skin must always be the same otherwise the hair will be cut at different length. It is very difficult to maintain same length of hair when trimming beard. I ended up with almost clean patches randomly located on my face and had to shave it all clean just to make it look normal. That is when I found out that this shaver is not very good for clean shaving as well. The charging stand included with this item is a small one, not the one you might have see in the photos, it's not very stable and the shaver is not locked properly when charging, so it is easy to drop it accidentally. Don't waste your money on this shaver.

Incredible product, does everything you need and more. I have used this for beard trimming, cutting the hair on my head and also body hair. Very easy to use and also the battery lasts a very good amount of time. Great product

This is an excellent product. Dry, it gives you a solid trim with no issues and nice features. My only issue is it’s not brilliant in the wet. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good, and I’m not sure any other company will do better - but it’s not as good as when it’s dry. So a little misleading in my opinion. Would still recommend.

I bought this shaver few weeks ago. Good for sensitive skin, does not leave any marks on your skin, easy one bottom use, no noise, good charging time. I tried on wet and dry skin and to be honest both are great! If you are looking for a quality and save time then Braun shaver is for you!

Very smooth and close shave which I loved. I have coarse hair which irritates my skin often when I trim or shave. Fortunately, using braun for the first time, did not irritate my skin. Since I have started using this shaver, I am in peace with the after effects. The shaver is quite handy and slightly lighter than my previous one. Being wet and dry has also its benefits which helps me immensely when I am rushing and do not have enough time in hand. I would recommend this one for sure!

This electric shaver is brilliant. There are so many attachments and settings that it really does suit anyone. I have a beard and initially used the beard trimmer and it worked perfectly. For the first time in forever I also used the close shaver to my skin and it results in such a smooth an close shave. I also tried the sensitive body trimmer and it really is very sensitive, not causing any knicks or cuts on any sensitive areas. The battery life is great and it comes with a neat little standing charger, which is quite convenient. I would highly recommend this!

This product is incredible. I was so excited the day this turned up, I opened it and used the immediately. I trusted the well known name and hoped it would be as I expected. I wasn’t disappointed, it’s fab!
