Toller razor, does not disappoint my expectations.

My first razor, a Braun Micron (network) has held a good 15 years my second, a Braun Flex Integral 6550 (battery / power) has brought it to just ten. (Both without repair!). Somehow was therefore clear that there is a Brown once again. The good marks from Stiftung Warentest for Braun shavers have made my decision easy.

Compared to the Flex Integral Braun Series 5-560 is significantly lighter. No wonder, because the power supply is now practically accommodated in the power plug. The trimmer is located on the back of the unit, so you have to turn the shaver first before you can move the longer hair on the body. I booklets times under the category "Getting used to" off. Apart from that, the razor is really good in the hand.

The battery lasts the manufacturer 45 minutes. In practice, I come from a good 12 days without recharging. That's why it makes sense that the bag can not accommodate the plug. Compared to the slim pocket the "lunchbox" from Braun Flex Integral was a real disaster!

I also think that you can clean the appliance under running water. For a while, I toyed with the Series 3-380, but the possibility of being able to shave in the shower, I think on closer inspection to be nonsense. First, it lacks the mirror, and second shaving is the most thoroughly dry.

I have high standards for shaving (baby's bottom) and my new Braun did not disappoint in this respect. My skin is not irritated by shaving. The Series 5-560 cuts in my opinion better than the Flex Integral, which is not surprising, because the shaving parts are still factory fresh. The device gets not equal any wrong grown hair the first time that I did not even expect. Bodycare is no piecework for me.

For a quick look at other manufacturers I have noticed that here shaving head and shaving foil are sometimes considerably more expensive. This was for me a reason for Brown because after ten years, the cost of spare parts can exceed the cost of the shaver. The Braun Flex Integral 6550, has ten years ago around 350 - DM cost. In comparison, my new shaver (133, - EUR) is a bargain.

In short, I am completely satisfied.
