[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been shaving with a manual razor for over 20 years. I haven't given electric razors a shot before, but I decided to try this one a few times. Every time I shaved with it, I felt like it took twice as long and there were patches here and there, so I ended up going over my face with a manual razor anyhow. Suffice to say, this is not the razor for me. Other than that, it seems like a fairly well built product. You can use it in wet or dry situations. The plug is at the base, which is a little awkward because there is no stand or dock that you can use to plug it in.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're so sorry to hear that you weren't happy with your results! It may be helpful to know that when switching to an electric shaver it can take up to 3 weeks for your face to adjust and start seeing the great clean shaves that we'd expect. If you have any further questions or would like to share more, please give us a call at (800) 272-8611.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Braun electric razor gives a nice clean shave without being harsh on my sensitive skin. It is easy to use wet or dry, and it contours to my face perfectly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been using the shaver for two weeks now on my neck. It shaves okay but really doesn't give a close smooth shave. Battery life is good, haven't had to charge it once yet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed my experience with the Braun Shaver 5018s Solo. It has a nice feel to it, good grip and does a really good job. I would recommend it to anyone who is in the market for a new shaver. I was not aware of this specific model from Braun before and am glad I tried it.
Excellent electric razor and I would highly recomm

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this razor to shave my head and facial hair. I also use it to trim and groom my mustache and beard. It gives my head and face a very close and smooth cut. It doesn't pull or irritate my skin. You don't have to worry about nicks or cuts. I love that you can use it wet or dry and it's very easy to clean. It also comes with an attachment for trimming your sideburns, mustache, and sides of your beard. It's ergonomically shaped so it would not slip from your hand when in use. It feels very solid and durable. So far, I've used it over a dozen times without needing to charge it. I've been using a Norelco electric razor for over 10 years. But now, I prefer this Braun shaver because of it's smooth cut and long lasting battery. It's perfect for travel! I highly recommend this product and would buy it again!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shaver works great on my face. It shaved closely and leaves no irritation afterwards. The battery last quite a while too. I like that it has two different heads for a quick shave or a trim. I can use it while in the shower or just standing at the sink. Definitely a keeper!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good for a quick shave, convenient that it's waterproof and easy to clean. Not as close as a razor, but good enough. I received this product in exchange for an honest review.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The trimmer on this thing has a lot of power to really plow through hair! I do wish the head on the trimmer was a bit smaller though; sometimes it's hard to see around it. I am not usually a shaver person, but I have been pleasantly surprised with how well it shaves.
