Awesome Razor
on August 18, 2017
Posted by: davidh61
from Hastings, NE
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Usally you want to know how it works, i always ask several of my friends how there electric razor cuts. My old electric razor quit. I have been using the Braun 5 shaver, this razor is great. I like that it can be used either by wet or dry. It cuts better then my old one did new. You don;t have to go over your face several times it cuts the first time, easy to use, clean and charge. the razor does what it say it will do. Thank you for allowing me to give my opinion.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Braun Series 5 review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product has a nice look but is not the best shaver. Took a lof of work to get all of my facial hair off. I would recommend for someone with less facial hair. Thanks for checking out my review
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear that you didn't receive the shave you expected. It can take up to three weeks for your skin to adjust to a new shaver. It's best to hold the shaver at a 90 degree angle and stretch the skin to shave against hair growth, changing direction as needed. Use a gentle touch and let the shaver do the work. If you have any questions, give us a call at (800) 272-8611.

Braun Series 5 5147s Rocks!!!
on August 22, 2017
Posted by: riclane

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cannot emphasize how impressed I am with this Braun Series 5 5147s Men’s Electric Foil Shaver! I’ve had a few electric shavers over the years and have never been very satisfied with them. Other electric shavers I’ve tried in the past left my face feeling like I’d shaved 12 hours earlier, not to mention leaving my face feeling a bit irritated from using it for so long, pushing harder against my face, in attempt to get a good close, smooth shave. This is absolutely the first electric shaver that has ever left my face feeling smooth, and right on par with using good razor blades. This Braun Series 5 does an excellent job, leaving my face feeling smooth, and without the irritation. It takes less time, and doesn’t require me to push the shaver hard against my face. It also has a head that pivots to allow it to follow the contour of my face, or you can lock it in place for locations where you don’t want it to pivot, such as shaving below your nose. Aside from the fact that this shaver works awesome, there are two other added bonuses that have made it even more impressive. The first is that it’s cordless and is rechargeable. Here’s the thing. I know that the box states 50 minutes of charge, but I charged it up 4 weeks ago, I’ve used it 3-4 times per week since then, and it’s still running on the same charge! I’ve only charged it that one time since I took it out of the box. The second added bonus is that this shaver can be used wet or dry. You can use it to shave dry while you’re driving to work or watching tv, or you can take it in the shower with you, or use shaving foam with it. It’s easy to rinse out and clean very quickly. That is a nice feature! In all honesty, I wasn’t expecting great things from this shaver, based on my past experiences with other electric shavers, but I was wrong. I love this thing. This is a great product that I would recommend to anyone thinking about purchasing one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Braun Series 5 5147s Review
on August 22, 2017
Posted by: bskullheadface
from Loveland, CO
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used foils shavers in the past with mixed results. That being said, I am very pleased with the Braun Series 5 5147. I am that guy when it comes to facial hair - I have incredibly sensitive skin, very coarse facial hair, prone to ingrown hairs, yet not enough of it to just "let it grow" without looking like a teenager (I'm 35). As long as I keep up on shaving (every 1-3 days), the Braun did a fantastic job - virtually no hair pulling and only the most minute skin irritation from repeated passes on hard to shave places (my neck). I charged the razor once, the day I got it, and have still not plugged it back in (about 1 months’ worth of shaving).
There are a few cons (hence the 4 starts). The longer I let my facial hair grow, the less effective the shaver was - it then required multiple passes with increased pressure which lead to tugging and worse skin irritation - add to that moist/wet skin from the shower and the shave became frustrating.
Overall, I am very pleased with the Braun 5 and will continue to use it on a regular basis - but I will do it pre-shower and if I wait 3 or more days to shave, I will switch back to the trusty safety razor for that shave.

Braun Series 5 Electric Shaver
on August 23, 2017
Posted by: jackjack20
from Moon Township, PA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Braun Series 5 Shaver is an excellent shaving tool. It gives a much closer shave than other electric shavers, and has an outstanding battery life, meaning that I rarely need to charge it. The adjustable edge makes it easy to reach and shave all of the curves of the face, leaving no areas untouched. In addition, it is entirely waterproof which makes it easy to clean and rinse if necessary. However, it is important to be careful not to press too hard when shaving. Small cuts may result when the shaver is pushed into the skin, although they are not deep and do heal quickly. I would definitely recommend the Braun Shaver to friends and colleagues!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try this but once I started using it, I was instantly disapointed. It is not sharp and it does not give a nice clean cut. I for sure thought this would be my next favorite item!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We hate to hear you didn't receive the clean and precise Braun shave you were expecting with our Series 5 Razor and we'd like to learn more. It may be helpful to know that it can take up to three weeks for your skin to adjust to a new shaver. It's best to hold the shaver at a 90 degree angle and stretch the skin to shave against hair growth, changing direction as needed. We suggest using a gentle touch and letting the shaver do the work. Since this wasn't the experience we'd hope for, please give us a call at (800) 272-8611.

This product meets exactly my expectations
on February 6, 2019

from Athens, Greece
Many years ago I tried to shave with a electric shaver , but I was very disappointed with the result. Because I was getting tired every morning to shave in the traditional way, and seeking for information for electric shavers online, I read the consumer reviews on your website. So I was convinced to buy a Braun 5147s. I can say with great pleasure and satisfaction that the device does exactly what it promises. I can shave every morning very fast and satisfactorily. I am very happy with my new Braun Shaver .

Exceeded my expectation
on February 16, 2019

This is probably too early to accurately review but first impressions are very important. I just purchased this series 5 model 5147s on 2/4/2019. and used it for the first time on the 16th. I have severe reaction every time I wet shave and my face usually looks like it's on fire afterward, so after reading up on rosacea and recommended shaving practice I chose the series 5 to test the waters so to speak. Followed my usual routine of shower, shave using my regular Maca root cream, brush applied and was amazed at the result. I guess the only mistake I may have made is not locking the head in position, I didn't see anything intuitive in the picture instruction(at least to me) that seemed to indicate that it needed to be locked for shaving. As stated the result was far above my anticipation. No redness, barely any tingle/burning which I feel every time I shave and the experience was almost as if nothing was happening. I had to touch my face to confirm the stubble was removed. In every sensitive area that usually flushes beet red and burns there is nothing to indicate I shaved. The closeness is on par or better than my twin blade(yes Dinosaur). My regret is not being smart enough to investigate the benefits of electric foil shaving sooner, but I believe the wet/dry capability is the game changer here. I had a Norelco 50 years ago for about 3 months and I'm sure they have improved greatly but I never went back to electric shaving until yesterday. Highly recommend.
I would recommend this to a friend!
