Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve never really been an electric razor guy (though I had one in the Army for quick shaves); they never seemed to get it all very quickly, snagged hairs, Battery life was nil, and they didn’t clean up well. I simply stuck to my safety razor for the close shaves and cheap blades. While I won’t say I’m not going to use my safety razor anymore, I think this razor is great. It gives a very close shave for an electric, battery life is great, you can wet or dry shave (haven’t tried wet yet), rarely ever snags on a tough hair, and the self cleaning unit is actually kinda nice. I like it for travel and for quick emergency shave jobs. My only real complaint is the price; $122 (on sale and coupon applied, AND price matched) is still really pricey for a rather simple bit of equipment. However, Braun has good customer service, so if it should fail before it’s purported 7 years, I think they may help me out then. Either way, it was worth the money to me.

I have had a 7 series for quite a few years. After constant use it finally started having issues. Rather than have it repaired I decided to get something new. I read reviews about the 5 series and decided to give it a shot. To me, there is no difference in the quality of shave between the 5 and the 7. The difference is that the 7 has a few features that the 5 does not have, but they are things that make no difference to me. I am very pleased with the closeness and the comfort. Very quiet, and the charge lasts for a long time. Easy to clean. An overall excellent shaver. I am very pleased with this purchase and would not hesitate to do it again. Nothing beats a Braun.

First time for me to use this foil shaver. I always use rotary shaver. The design is awesome but during the first two weeks that I use it I always gets nicked in my chin and cheek. I guess my skin is still adjusting to the foil. I almost return it because of that but now I don’t get any nicked anymore. Close shaved is awesome. The vibration is strong compare to rotary and also a lot noisier. Easy to clean and I like the base cleaner. Its just I have to buy the liquid solution every month to keep it smells fresh and lubricated but its fully optional. Overall I like it and hopefully to use it for many years.

Bought this for my dad for Father’s Day. He had a old norelco that was very difficult to clean. Tried it on myself and it gives a close comfortable shave. Easy to adjust and easy to set up and clean with the cleaning system that comes with it. As with any electric razor it’s a good idea to apply moisturizer after shaving to prevent razor burn.

It's really good having bought this electric shaver. Because of my work, I need to shave every single day and because Braun is a reliable brand I decided to go for it. The package came very well. The shaver is simple and intuitive. You can move the head back and forth or just set a stable position. The cleaning system is simple as well. You just flip down the shaver put inside (along with the cleaning product) and let the machine do its job. You can shave dry or wet but I recommend shaving wet so the razors will slide better on your skin face. Have no cons at all so far. For the price and for what the shaver is supposed to do.

I received this ad a Christmas gift and it has worked better than expected. I get a close shave (granted nothing beats a razor blade) with very little skin irritation if any. The cleaner works well and it is easy to remove the blades for a deeper clean. This razor provides both a wet and dry shave. Overall very happy with the product.

This is my first electric shaver and I absolutely love it. It's easy to use, offers a close shave, and the self cleaning does a great job. It's nice to be able to shave on the go. I highly recommend.

Very easy to use, light and compact and great results!

This razor gets the job done. Smooth shave with little or no irritation, close and comfortable, easy to clean, long battery life. Not likely you'll find a better one, highly recommended.

Excellent shaver for the price. Ease to use and the washing/charging system works nicely to clean and charge your shaver.

I have tried several electric shavers over 50+ years and found them all to be unsatisfactory compared to a blade. After going on blood thinner following surgery, I had to stop shaving with a blade. I was very skeptical about electric shavers. I have been pleasantly surprised with my new Braun shaver. It shaves close. It is very well designed and convenient to use. I would definitely recommend it.

Good clean cut....easily charged... easy to use and charge

This was a replacement for an older model in which the batteries died. It was possible to replace the batteries but I figured that improvements had been made in the past 10 years. Yes! Smoother and closer shave and easy to use. Has the same cleaning method, which is a big plus.

shaves real nice, easy to clean, battery lasts a long time

I got this Braun shaver series 5 for fathers day and it works much better than my old series 3 shaver. Easy to use and a very smooth close shave.

Bought this for my husband and he loves it!! He loves that he can use it in the shower or dry shaving! It was a good price for how it works!

Easy to use. Easy to clean. Battery is durable, haven't charged it for half a year. The cleaning station is powerful.

Worth the money. Easy to use. Not as close as traditional razor but still great.

Great shaver, easy to use and charge, great battery hold charge, No skin irritations

Great electric shaver. easy to use and shaves close.
