5150cs

Before buying this shaver, I was put off by a few reviews that indicated a less than smooth shave. But, after looking over all of the options, this still seemed like the best option. I am glad I made this purchase beacuse the shaving experience has been perfect. I have a beard but like to keep the cheek areas and neck areas smooth. After 3 or 4 days, I can use the trimmer to cut down the stubble and then use the shaver to get a nice clean smooth shave. Switching from the trimmer to the shave head is simple and easy. Hairs do see to like to stick to the rubber parts of the shaver, but they and the heads can be easily cleaned by rinsing with water. The battery seems to last since I have not recharged it after using it for several months. The one down side is that the trimmer is not as effective at taking off the stubble as my last shaver was. But the shaver part does such a good job, that has not been a problem.

It is awesome! I bought the 5020s, which comes with a trimmer with 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 leveled plastic trim heads. The difference between options are (without the trimmers), (with plastic trimmers), and (metal trimmers, I believe). Before 5020, I used Braun Cruzer 3 and then Braun Cruzer 5 totaling about 15 years. I was looking for a shaver around 40-50 bucks but decided to go for the extra. I have been using it for month. I shave every other day, and shave it super clean (i.e. any feel of the tiniest beard is unacceptable for me). My cheeks are alright and easy to shave but my neck beard grows irregularly, in I, W, Z ways, it is crazy. Normally, I was using the razor to shave the 2 days old neck-beard, and then using the machine to make it smooth. So shaving was always a problem for me. 5020 is awesome because I almost don't use the razor at all anymore. It can shave my whole face with 95-98% perfectness. If you are a regular shaver, that should be more than enough; it is just my obsession to make it 100%. I can be totally fine if I am on a rush and leave it like that. Thus, it is absolutely perfect for my daily shaving. In my first use, I had a week old beard (my beard grows really fast with medium thickness). It pulled the hairs a couple of times, but I believe I wasn't adjusted yet. Using it just a bit slowly and gently was much better, then had no problem. Yesterday, I also used the trimmer part with 3 and 5 mm option to shave the sides of my head and it was better than my Braun BT3020 beard trimmer. Transition between the levels are pretty smooth and much better than my so-called barber/butcher's work. Another positive thing is that it creates just a little bit of beard dust, about 10% of the previous machines that I used. Cleaning the machine is much easier. Just put it under water. I opened the head and there was no beard dust at all. May be the only negative thing is that the machine is not elegant and easy to control. Both the handle and the head is pretty big and it feels bigger than it should feel on your face. Not a problem for me but, feels weird. I guess the upper series, 7 and 9, are slicker and feels better at hand, but do the cost/benefit analysis.

The shave is good and relatively quick, but not great. In order to finish the shave to a smooth cut, I run a Harry’s blade shave over most of my face.

I am really pleased with this razor for the following reasons: 1) it works amazingly well as a body groomer, with multiple hair length options, including one for sensitive areas, 2) the charge lasts a long time and the rapid charger that's included recharges the unit very quickly, 3) it is reasonably priced and is of high quality, 4) for face shaving, it works just fine, although it is a little tricky trying to get those whiskers under your nose, where a more narrow razor head would be more effective. I am very pleased with this purchase and would buy again.

After trying other "wanna be" shave competitors- I am completely satisfied that THIS shaver is "The One"! Never going to try any of the others as the Braun is top quality and he best reliable shaver I have ever used! A truly awesome shaver that delivers a stellar CLOSE shave- Need say more, gentlemen?

When I received and started using this shaver, I would have rated it 5 stars, as it gave an incredibly close shave and the battery remained charged for 7 to 10 days! Eight months have passed, and while the shave is still pretty good, it's not as close as it was when I got it. But that's not why I'm giving the shaver 3 stars. The reason for this is the charge on the shaver lasts only three days now. I thought that was a fluke when it first happened, but it's now happened three times in a row. And when the charge dies, the shaver is totally DEAD and can't be used for a single shave for nearly 30 minutes. This is NOT good if you don't have 30 minutes to wait to shave. The only choice I now have is to charge the shaver after every use or two uses. I've owned several electric shavers over the last three decades, including a Braun, and this has never happened with any of them. Now I'll never buy a Braun shaver again. By the way, I'm not some shill hired by a Braun competitor. I'm just a retired guy who is INCREDIBLY disappointed with a product he bought and loved for a short period.

I just got this Braun Series 5 5050cs an hour ago. It came fully charged which was cool. I went in and tried it out and was overjoyed with the results. I've got an old Braun shaver that belonged to my Dad, it's beat up and held together with tape....but did a fair job but the battery was gone and had to stay plugged in. I also had a Norelco triple head rotary type shaver that runs very slow and doesn't cut worth a hoot. Both of them are now in the trash can. In just a couple minutes with my NEW Braun I had a super smooth shave. No irritation since I didn't have to work hard to get it done. Even with a good double edge disposable razor which I use in the shower, it's harder to get a smooth shave under my chin and around my neck. The only problem is that it got my whiskers down so low that it's going to be TWO days before I can shave again! You can't go wrong with this one. Only wish it had a travel case or bag of some type, but it does have a good protective cap for the shave heads so I can work it out. Extremely happy with this razor.

Intermittent Infant failure. It started locking up in less than two months of use. Works great when it works and does better than a manual shaver when it comes to shaving around curves. The braun technology is good for getting close without nicking skin etc. It’s less than two years old and the locking up problem that first surfaced in the first month of use has slowly gotten worse to where it can’t be depended on. What happens is when it is first turned on it might lock up and to clear it, it has to be plugged in for a second and that can be a hassle if you’re in the shower because it has to be plugged in to the power source (115vac) when clearing out the lockup. Let’s see how they make good on their two year warranty. I’ll be back. 8/27/25 I'M BACK 2 years later. The problem got worse to where it had to be charged every other time. I got Braun to give me an RMA fairly easy eventhough the only way was via the web site that didn't work right but a person eventually took my call and handled it painlessly. They sent a shipping label so I'll know when I get it back, hopefully before long. 02/10/2026 I’m back with a final update. I sent it in for repair but it’s still defective. It still fails but in a different way. The battery low indicator is always full then one day it doesn’t work and needs the charger plugged in to reset it. So I will have to buy another shaver. This shaver was great because it didn’t hurt in sensitive areas due to the foil-like head that keeps sharp blades from making contact with skin. Too bad the warranty department didn’t do their job.

ممتازة ومميزة

I've been using for two weeks now. I find it satisfactory. The backup is good cos it does not need to charge till now after initial charging. The handling is also comfortable, and shaving is quite smooth.

Very good machine

Daily shaving too easy Good shaver best buy

This is the best shaver for me. It provided a very clean shave (for my face shape) and the best feature was the ease of cleaning. I liked that the normal cleaning ritual was simply to run the shaver under the tap. Best of all, the price was very affordable and delivery was pronto. Super happy with the sleek shaver.
