Very good razor, but sometimes wet shave is better

The Braun Series 5 5040s is comfortable to hold and has a pleasant weight without being heavy. It glides well on the skin while delivering a decent result. However, there are difficulties in very tight-fitting hairs that can not grip the razor and shaved thus not completely clean. Even straight edges (eg the beard) he gets down not good. It seems that the edge region of the razor is not clean-shaven. This device is a very good dry shaver (which can also shave wet). But wet shaving with a real sword still offers the best results. However, if time is scarce and it is sufficient that the shaving holds only one day, this shaver is the drug of choice. If shaving last longer or to be extremely thorough, the classic wet shave is still best.
Operation, cleaning and maintenance, however, are very simple. You can rinse the shaving head under water (which is my husband but rarely do, that the shaving head lasts longer). A bottle of oil for the cutting system is. Also, a brush for the mechanics is under the shaving head. What it should be used where shown in the graphic manual, but you have a little longer look over the pictograms already to understand it. The text instructions as significantly more precise.
If the device is connected to the power supply and the outlet, it does not turn, probably as protection during wet shaving. However, this is on the go a pity (if you want to shave, for example with a weak battery in the train). By contrast, the key lock is a very useful function. Thus, the shaver can not turn in the luggage and thus discharged. (This feature is absent in other products such as the Braun Silk-épil what I realized already painful when traveling.)

Overall, the device is good and satisfactory, but does not come close to the classic wet shave. But shaving is quick and the razor glides well on the skin. He also has a few useful features, is easy to operate and easy to maintain.
