Great Rechargeable Shaver!!!
on July 28, 2017
Posted by: PABBAP
from Huntsville, AL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great rechargeable shaver. I was hesitant to try an electric shaver as my neck is super sensitive and I usually get rashes from these type shavers. I am very happy to say that not only did this shaver give me a close shave without pulling my hairs it also did not give me the rash. I also like I do not have to worry with batteries. I can just plug it in to charge when I am not using it. I also like that you can use this shaver on wet or dry skin. The shaver comes with a slide out trimmer that worked great for my sideburns. I also like the you can easily adjust the shaver head to get just the right angle you need. I highly recommend this electric shaver.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Braun Series 5 Electric Shaver

from Lincoln, NE
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to wait to give my review until using for at least a week since it takes your face time to adjust.
Pros:
--does get a pretty close shave
--can use wet or dry (although recommend you shave prior to washing face)
--charge lasts a long time (have only done initial charge!)
--trimmer is fantastic, does a good precision cut
--does get a pretty close shave
--can use wet or dry (although recommend you shave prior to washing face)
--charge lasts a long time (have only done initial charge!)
--trimmer is fantastic, does a good precision cut
Cons:
--takes 3 times as long to shave as with manual razor, really have to put in effort to get neck
--have to clean razor head I'd say after every other shave - gets dirty pretty quick
--seem to get more ingrown hairs, which is odd, figured this would reduce, but if closer shave then maybe that's why (at least for my facial hair type)

Still going to continue using to see if improves and will update; however, for price and quality - would recommend as a supplement if not replacement shaver!

Love the look and ergonomic design but..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the Braun shaver for a week now, and I am finally going to review it.
I didn't want my first use of it to be posted because I actually hated it in the beginning. I have use a regular blade shaver for the last decade or so and have gotten used to the ultra smooth feeling of a good blade.
The first time I tried the Braun I was more than Slightly disappointed. I used it dry and it left a lot to be desired. Found out that it was my fault, not the unit. I didn't properly clean my face and the oil just made it skip everywhere. After a few more days and different uses (dry, wet, shower, bathtub, early morning, evening, latenight before going back out) I finally got used to an electric razor again.
For 99% of the time this is what I use for a quick, clean shave, with no muss no fuss.
I still go for the warm foam and blade razor for when I want/need a super close shave that I want for going out. This option takes a while and can be a hassle, but for being up close, it's still the way to go.
That being said, the Electric is now my everyday razor. No bumps and no scrapes. Plus it will not ever cut and make me bleed like a razor does. The side trimming functions really lends itself to trim ear and nose hair along with keeping your beard and/or mustache trimmed.
Overall good product, but not perfect. But what today is

Braun Series 5 Mens Electric Shaver
on July 29, 2017
Posted by: spdigger
from saint peter, MN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Braun Series 5 5147s Men’s Electric Foil Shaver does a great job of getting the hard-to-reach areas. I shaved my dense beard, and it left my face feeling nice and smooth. The Braun Series 5 5147s Men’s Electric Foil Shaver stays charged for a long time. It is light-weight and easy to use. I was hesitant to try the Braun Series 5 5147s Men’s Electric Foil Shaver, as I always used a regular disposal. I would highly recommend the Braun Series 5 5147s Men’s Electric Foil Shaver and have not discovered anything I don't like about it.

Braun Series 5 5147 Electric Shaver
on July 29, 2017
Posted by: 10Botto180
from Wilmer, AL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The razor , out-of-the-box, charged up successfully using the AC power cord. The charging stand was not provided with this shaver. The "heft" and "feel" of the razor was comfortable during use and did not feel heavy. I find that this particular shaver is very noisy. I considered putting a drop of oil on the head mechanism but did not. The shaver cuts very well and the multi-position head facilitates the use. The shaver has held a charge for better than a week now.

Good Shaver for the 'Self-Time'
on July 29, 2017
Posted by: ampliwon
from High Point, NC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Braun Series 5 5147s Men's electric foil shaver is a good looking shaver. Right out of the box the weight of this is perfect, not too heavy not too light. The shaver charges quick and has built in LEDs and a tone to let you know when fully charged. The ON-OFF locking switch is convenient for someone like me that travels a lot and doesn't want it turning on in their luggage. The fact that it is wet dry is always a plus for me because I like to shave in the shower without cream sometimes. When I tested the shave on this shaver I did it dry and wet to see if it made a difference either way. Unfortunately it didn't. This shaver I would have liked it give a close shave but it doesn't unless you continually pull and contort your skin and go over the spots at all different angles. For a quick once over its perfect as long as you don't mind a bit of stubble still, but for a close shave, it will take a little time. Overall it is a good shaver as long as you give yourself some self-time, but hey we are worth spending time to look good right guys? I would recommend this to anyone that wants a convenient, comfortable experience and doesn't mind taking time for themselves.

The best shave I ever got
on July 29, 2017
Posted by: undone
from Campbell, OH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this is the best shave I have ever got . The Braun Series 5 adjusts to my hard to cut facial hair . I usually have a hard time because hair on my face grows uneven and thicker in some parts . With the Braun Series 5 it gets all of that and more . No nicks cuts and so easy to use which is no easy feet for me with arthritis . My face is smooth and soft and done in less time . I love it .

That is a close shave!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think I have a new shaving tool. I have used the Braun Series 55r a couple of weeks now I like it.
The S5 delivers a clean, close, comfortable shave either wet or dry. I have used blades for decades. I like the shave I get with this S5 much better. No nicks, cuts or razor burn.
I'm sold on this shaver.
