That’s a quick and relatively inexpensive upgrade if your shaver is still in good working condition (the battery holds a decent charge and there’s no serious physical wear). Heat is the number one enemy of rechargeable batteries, so make sure you don’t leave the shaver on your car’s dashboard for example. I do however have to say again that the Series 5 50 is no Series 5 in the sense the old generation (with models like the 5090cc or 5040s) was. These are identical to the American Series 6 in the table above and the differences come down to color and accessories. Apart from the tweaked shaving head, the ProSkin shavers are also fitted with a larger rechargeable battery which can provide up to 45 minutes of use compared to 30 minutes on the basic models.

We’ll get to them as well, but what interests us at this moment is the cleaning station included with the Series 6 and Series 7 70.With a high-quality shaving head, strong motor and beefy battery, the Series 5 is a highly-capable foil shaver that’s effective even on longer stubble (3 to 4 days of growth) and also very comfortable and suitable for users with sensitive skin. You should simply get the S7 that meets your requirements (for example, if you want a cleaning station, you would get one of the cc models).

I’ll also guide you through the options if you want to upgrade your current Braun shaver to one that would actually give you a better shave. As a result, the Series 8 will shave exactly the same as the old Series 5 and almost as good as the old Series 7.

When the shaving head needs to be replaced, an LED light will notify you; it can be reset by pressing the ON/OFF switch for five seconds. These models also include a ProComfort massage head that must be fitted to the shaver (instead of the foil head). It even manages to capture flat hairs that go in different directions quite well, although is not as good as the Series 9 in that regard.

Just like the Series 5 above, we only get wet/dry Series 6 shavers that can only be operated cordlessly. Apart from the situations mentioned in the performance section of the review, almost anyone will be satisfied with it, especially men who shave daily or up to two days.It costs generally less than the older Series 7, but as we know, that one was also a superior shaver. For example, the Braun Series 3 ProSkin 3010BT is just a Series 3 ProSkin 3010s shaver bundled with the aforementioned trimming accessories.
