The shaver is fully charged in about an hour. That's just at Philips. However, the short charging time is also indicated then that the installed batteries have guaranteed less than 2000 mAh or only one is installed. This ensures that in a few years a new device is necessary if one wants to continue to shave Cordless itself. The attached charger von Braun is something shapeless broad and flat, but still easy to transport the luggage. But what I miss with a razor in the price range, is a small travel case simples synthetic. Also is a pity that you can not shave so that during charging. In older generations of Brown and during my last Philips dry shaver that was possible. Too bad!
To clean the shaver can remove the top plastic cap with the shaving foils. The fastest way is cleaned when rinsing it under water. Unfortunately, the blade block is secured to the outer foil. To clean, I find the not so successful, but it still works very well. It also prevents you cut yourself on the blade block. For comparison, I could clean the blades with a brush so far with my Philips or in simpler Braun shavers. This is probably no longer seems intended here.
In the shower I have not yet tested the razor, although he can. It seems to me that does not make sense. With wet skin can also shave, but I do not think that's much better.
Otherwise I like the razor for its catchy housing and the battery indicator informs quite well informed about the charging status, or when the battery is low. Mostly the battery charge is sufficient then for a final shaving when the LED is red for the first time.
Conclusion: Overall, a successful cordless shaver which achieved quickly a satisfactory shaving results. He sits comfortably in the hand and shaving is quick and pleasant vonstatten. It is suitable for both long and short hairs through his different hair trimmer. If you can live without the waterproof case, you better choose a less expensive model of the 3 series. Because you save about 30 minutes. Otherwise, I am very happy a few weeks ago with this razor.
