Disadvantages:
Cap for shaving heads missing, missing battery indicator, battery does not last long with cooling function, battery charging only with shell
Suitable for:
efficient shaving, shaving, dry shaving, wet shave, extremely sensitive skin, under the shower and in the bath, daily shaving
I must take the BRAUN ° Cooltec during the test via Facebook through the wringer.
I have not shaved by then a long time, because I problems with skin irritation and razor burn forever no matter how I wash myself or what creams and aftershaves I used hatte-.
My first conclusion from this:
- Look and feel
Design Technically I find the ° Cooltec very ansprechend- shapes and colors are matched and the device feels very valuable.
The weight of the ° Cooltec is once a little Gewöhnungsbedürftig- a piece heavier than my Philips shaver of IQ Series
The shape and the rubberized outer skin of the shaver is good though and good grip and the push buttons are easy to operate.
The trimmer cuts reliable and clean, where he personally seems to me a bit narrow.
- Shaving
The shave me. From the first use on Convinced
The ° Cooltec shaved very thoroughly and smoothly away my stubble.
With only the cooling system shaving is a very refreshing experience. The cooling element is cold in a short time. It feels a little strange at the first time, but refreshes the skin during shaving immensely. My skin irritation or my razor bumps belongs finally to the past !. The weatherproof nature a shave is possible even under the shower or bath. The trimmer work quickly and precisely.
- Battery and charging
The battery in my Cooltec holds for 4-5 shaves with cooling without cooling I have not shaved since I always had problems with normal dry shave and me does not want to do that again. Charging takes approximately 1 hour in the charging cradle an indication of the battery status would be when ° Cooltec nor desirable, so that no one under the shaving with cooling without cooling stands in the middle there.
- Cleaning
Cleaned the shaver either with the supplied brush or holding the ° Cooltec when switched under running hot water. To dry the shaving unit should be withdrawn and be sprinkled by wet cleaning with a drop of oil, so that the cutting system does not suffer (especially in very hard water).
- Charging Station
The very basic charging station appears (until you connect the power adapter) at first only windy. The contact points for charging could be quiet a bit bigger, as you may well end up next to it when inserting. For travel, it would be advantageous if not the charging station would have to be taken, as it takes back space in your suitcase, the case of longer - eh is always too short, especially air travel.
- Protection of the shaving system
Unfortunately the Cooltec CT4S is delivered without protective cap for shaving head, which for dust and other influences (from cleaner while cleaning spray bottles, etc.) is not the best.
- Transport and Case
For the transport case without a transport lock has been fitted, which is activated by longer head pressure on the power switch on / off and prevents unintentional turning of the razor - wherein there is again the problem of the lack of the shaving head protection.
For the journey a hard case is (very valuable processed) here, where you but houses only the razor and not even needed for longer trips, together with charger plug.
By slender design of the charger I had on air travel concern to a fraction of the plastic when the parts of the charger are only in the trunk without protection.
- Conclusion
In summary, I really congratulate the company on the development of innovative BRAUN ° Cooltec. It is a very good-quality equipment on the market, in which only a few things can be faulted.
