I would buy this product and recommend to a friend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First I would like to say I am happy to review the Braun S5 electric shaver. I enjoyed using the product very much. It was very convenient and easy to use and clean.
My first impression upon opening the box was that it was very stylish and comfortable to hold. The power button and display were easily accessible/readable. It came with a charger and an instruction manual, as well as a cleaning brush and trimmer head attachment. I plugged the unit in and let it charge while I went on to read the manual.
I was disappointed at first as I found the manual hard to read. Funny as it may be, it seemed to be made to be easy to read. I didn't find that so. It was all created in a comic book style format with little to no actual instruction. It took me several reads but eventually the comic strip made some sense and I was able to properly use the product.
Approximately an hour of charging and the Braun S5 was ready to use. I started with the trimmer head. I had to detach the shaver head first which had came attached by default. At first I wasn't sure if I was doing it right and was afraid I might break it. I referred back to the comic strip to reassure myself. I gained confidence and pulled a little harder. Sure enough the head popped off and I was able to snap the trimmer head onto the S5. That wasn't so bad though the whole time I wasn't sure if I was doing it right and was sure I would break something.
I trimmed my whole beard and lined up my mustache. I decided to go with a goatee cut. Everything went excellent and smooth. I had no snags with the trimmer head and was close enough to let the shaver head come in and do it's job smoothing things out.
I ran the trimmer under some hot water and swapped heads again. This time swapping heads was much easier. I had more confidence. I had figured out the way they come off and go back on. It was much easier than the first time for sure.

Worst product I have ever used.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first I thought it was a practical joke..I was unable to get a clean shave with this product. I could get a better shave using a dull butter knife. I would not recommend it to anyone.This product does not.. and I repeat does NOT WORK for black men.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great shaver in general

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's the first time I try a Braun shaver, in the past I have used Norelco/Philips. I found this shaver very smooth and comfortable to use. I really liked how easy it was to switch head accessories. It also has a pretty long battery life. I absolutely loved how easy it was to clean it under water. I gave it 4 stars because my Norelco gives me a better finish, a cleaner shave. However the difference is not huge and I have to say the Norelco I have is top of the line, quite expensive. Also, the missing star is because it doesn't come with a pouch to store it

I highly recommend this shaver

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shaver is great I used it dry and did not get any irritation and there was very minimal pulling. I also used it to trim my sideburns and it does an excellent job. I like that is chargeable and the battery last awhile. I received this product in exchange for my honest opinion.

This razor works really well

from Severn, MD
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really skeptical about this razor at first, but it actually works really well. The head of the razor moves with the contours of my face and makes it really easy to shave. I was hesitant to run water through it to clean it, but I eventually relented and it actually works. You can even use shaving cream with it. I'm really impressed.

Easy to use, and does an effective job

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use the Braun Shaver 5018s Solo Blue US razor to combat daily stubble and keep neat, orderly lines around my neck and ears when shaving. The result is a close shave with no irritation when shaving wet or dry. It easily cleared out a few days worth of growth with ease, and provided a very smooth, easy experience. It's very lightweight, and also very easy to clean without disassembling the whole thing. The quick charge is a very nice feature as well. I don't always think about charging it, but when I'm in a hurry getting ready for work, I need reliability. The quick charge feature bails me out when I haven't planned ahead properly, and really saves the day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a beard so I normally just use a razor to shave hair on my upper cheek and on my neck. This is so much better though. No more razor rash or irritated skin. Super quick and easy and with the edger attachment I can make sure my beard looks perfect. I would definitely purchase again and recommend to my friends.
