BraunElectric Shaver for Men, Series 5 5150cs, Wet & Dry Shave, Turbo Shaving Mode, Foil Shaver, with Beard Trimmer, Body Groomer and Charging Stand, Blue

I'm prone to in-grown hairs and shaved with a single head Braun to mitigate that. I'm so happy I took a flyer on this razor. It shaves closer than any I have had in my life and no uptick in in-growns. It also charges quickly and comes with various shaver heads for different tasks. Only slight is an attached long hair clipper, standard on almost all electrics, would be nice vs having to change heads.

Comfortable, lightweight, incredibly easy to clean, very ergonomic grip, excellent battery life. The trimmer attachment is fairly lame. It isn't a very effective trimmer at all. They needn't bother with the collection of guards they provide because you are pretty safe from it trimming too much! I have a cheap Wahl trimmer that uses disposable batteries that is far more effective. That said, the shave is closer than a blade, yet very safe and comfortable even with my sensitive skin. As far as I know, this is the least expensive Braun that's manufactured in Germany instead of China. I haven't owned the shaver long enough to evaluate how long the coil/cutting block lasts, Braun claims 18 months. My past experience with Braun and Remington is that foils develop holes and become unusable in a about 6 months. Even if this foil lasts only 12 months that would reduce the operating cost by half! By the way, beware of Chinese imitation foils on Amazon. Unless you look extremely closely, you won't realize that these are not manufactured by Braun. To be safe, look in the Braun Store in Amazon. The German made foil will set you back $35 instead of the approximately $20 of the look-alikes. Intuition tells me that this hyper-close and comfortable shave is largely due to the quality of the foil/cutting block assembly. Using the cheap foils would be kind of like putting cheap tires on your BMW. Your car wouldn't drive, handle and stop like a BMW any more.

Don’t worry about cut it or red on your skin. Smooth and well shave it. Also the battery last for about 3 times shave

It's everything I expected from Ron I'm a long time electric shaver user too many people who get into electric razors they don't know what they're doing and they think they can whip it around their face like they do a blade they don't even give the razor a chance to do what it was meant for I suggest you drag one of your fingers just in front of your razor where you're feeling your skin before it hits the razor then run back by you'll feel the difference immediately and I'll let you know on there of where you need to touch up

Decided to go back to Braun after the Norelco 900 series i had been using upped their price on replacement heads to $90!!!. This model is kind of mid market. If I scrub a few minutes i get a decent shave. Not as easy as the 900 and i have to work a bit more, but I can throw one of these away and buy a new one still cheaper than i can buy replacement blades for the 900. THe head is a bit hard to remove and replace, so I’m always expecting I’m going to break it when i clean it. But I’ve had it 6 weeks now and have succeeded in not breaking it, so i guess the tight fit could be looked at as a good thing. I wish. It had a pop-out trimmer to quickly do some touch ups, but I knew it didn’t when i bought it. It has a trimmer attachment, but it got tossed in a drawer before we moved and has not resurfaced. Anyway, good mid-range razor. Charge lasts me at least 2 weeks even with extending shaving times. Easy to clean and dry.

this shaver is the best one i’ve ever used, i have thick facial hair and this shaver doesn’t have a problem at all and on the plus side i only use one replacement head per year, all of the other ones i’ve had would go through them 3 or 4 times a year. i’ve had this 2 years now and it still works like new, i highly recommend it.

Excellent shaver.Would and did buy a second one.Heavy beard, soak with warm/hot water, next a beard lube and very smooth results.Blades are too expensive and this is a great alternative for a clean shave.

When I received and started using this shaver, I would have rated it 5 stars, as it gave an incredibly close shave and the battery remained charged for 7 to 10 days! Eight months have passed, and while the shave is still pretty good, it's not as close as it was when I got it. But that's not why I'm giving the shaver 3 stars. The reason for this is the charge on the shaver lasts only three days now. I thought that was a fluke when it first happened, but it's now happened three times in a row. And when the charge dies, the shaver is totally DEAD and can't be used for a single shave for nearly 30 minutes. This is NOT good if you don't have 30 minutes to wait to shave. The only choice I now have is to charge the shaver after every use or two uses. I've owned several electric shavers over the last three decades, including a Braun, and this has never happened with any of them. Now I'll never buy a Braun shaver again. By the way, I'm not some shill hired by a Braun competitor. I'm just a retired guy who is INCREDIBLY disappointed with a product he bought and loved for a short period.
