Finally a shaver from Braun that emphasizes a great job delivering the basics. I’ve been using this shaver 10 weeks and it delivers a close shave quickly. It uses the Braun Smartfoil and Powercomb to scoop up hairs, but without the vibrating head motion of the Pulsonic or 360/Activator shavers. I’ve used both the Pulsonic and Activator and find the new Series 5 shaves closer and for my skin, with less irritation. The Gillette 360 blade technology seems sharper and closer-cutting than the Activator series.
This shaver does very well on convenience. It’s quieter than the Panasonic models I’ve used and the cleaning system does away with the multiple cleaning modes and heat drying. It’s simple, compact and I’ll bet way more reliable over the long term because so much more simple. The shaver has the “quick clean” option where the foil/head partially opens so with the shaver turned on most hairs can be shaken out. And finally, a huge plus — this shaver can be washed under water so can keep it clean during travel.
All in all, a top notch product provided you judge based on quality of shave and convenience, not number of lights, settings or other bells & whistles. Less is more with the new Series 5.
