Bin Philips on this Braun Series 5 5090cc (with cleaning station) switched. The expectation was great. But the disappointment continues today. The shaving result is sobering and very, very bad. But first, why is this razor "(with cleaning station)" sold. I did not want this additional plastic box, all they that take already a wireless razor with this part of traveling. Unfortunately, there was this unit without this cleaning station. Why? Have so far received no reply from Braun. For 50 years I clean my Trockenrasierer: head off clipping under running water clean - and clean! This is apparently lt. Brown no longer without this unnecessary and expensive plastic box which apparently needs still special liquid for cleaning function. A real nuisance! A dry shaver which is to function in the shower, I did not know until today. Whether this is necessary, everyone must decide for themselves, I do not use it. Before the device has to be cleaned, it is supposed to prove his Rasierqualität in daily use, but unfortunately the unit failed miserably. Sure, the skin must be first on the new shaving head set, but also to a much smaller shaving, the same game. That thing just shaved not clean and allows for a lot of hair are, even after several days are those left standing hair still ... A Braun is not to develop a useful shaving head after decades of experience in a position that is not understandable for me. My first brown early 70s shaved as much better, did not have a pivoting head, which one has built here and now. If a nothing incident new, constructing such a useless stuff that you can also still off. A paradox first order. Whether with or without pivoting shaving head, the shaving result remains poor. The placement of Einschaltknopfes is placed so intelligent that it can be inadvertently pressed while shaving. This supposedly new and revolutionary innovations should shave cleaner and more deeply, but in the end it is only plate arguments arriving well in advertising. But you learn the reality only when using this shaver know.
Positives: Pleasant and unobtrusive sound, because who wants to be in the morning wake up to unpleasant noises. Battery lasts - until now - very long. Wait time when the charging capacity diminishes.
Conclusion: A new broom sweeps not always better, but are protected by the useless accessories made artificially expensive.
I'd make up my mind in the present state of this technology, not for a Brown. A razor to not clean shaven you just do not need.
