In the initial charge of the razor should be charged at least one hour. Said and done. The entire charge has required almost 1.5 hours the first time. The battery when fully charged, according to instructions for use, depending on the thickness of the beard and temperature around about 50 minutes, I can confirm that.
Any use of the shaver while it is connected to the mains is not possible. So you should make sure that you do not forget the store, however, thereto is also confirmed by a beep reminds you when the shaver is switched off.
An indicator illuminates when the shaver is connected to the grid. This can be seen by setting display how much the battery is charged.
Practically, the lockout. You can enable this by pressing the On / Off switch for 3 seconds. If this lock is activated, the shaver can not do easily themselves, such as during transportation.
In addition, you can keep (a fairly stable, small bag) the shaver in the case supplied. This protects the device not only in transport but also in the everyday storage.
In addition to normal shaving function, which can be used both wet and dry, the 9040s also offers a built-in trimmer. This is suitable for trimming the mustache, sideburns or beard itself.
I referred already to the fact that the 9040s requires no cleaning station. To clean the razor is simply washed under hot, running water, and he must be turned on. You can also use liquid soap for cleaning.
The supplied oil should be used, if you often cleans the shaver. Then it belongs to the surface of the scissor system.
How often does the shaver needs to be cleaned, is somewhat dependent on the individual shave. So is the manufacturer's instructions, the clean 9040sauf definitely whenever you use it with foam.
Shaving with the 9040s offers what it should: the hairs are detected well in both the dry and in the wet shave. The adjustable shaving head can also be hair on harder to reach places capture well.
The cleaning of the device is simple and straightforward and provides with this device the 9 Series has the advantage that you do not always have to buy more cleaning cartridges. Thus, here can be seen in terms of follow-up costs compared to other Brown-models a certain advantage.
