Again, if you can get these ingredients and you’re willing to play around with the proportions, I see no reason why you couldn’t make your own solution for even less money. In terms of effectiveness, costs and overall performance, these are arguably the best in my opinion. The SHaver Shebang cleaner concentrate definitely doesn’t provide enough lubrication, so you’ll need to oil the blades yourself or use a spray lubricant for electric shavers.

And while I can’t really complain about the effectiveness, there’s one thing specific to the Shaver Shebang solution that I didn’t particularly like. I am not by any means an expert in this area, but I think they are only legally required to list the alcohol and not the rest. I can see why you’re using the LV81 + the old Vortex cleaning station — it seems straightforward and practical. Gently swirl the head and guard around in the bowl, ensuring they remain submerged in the liquid at all times.I agree, I have been using isopropyl alcohol for years when making these solutions and never had any issues with it. By the way, the stickiness mentioned above could be mistaken for moisture, but it wasn’t the case as the blades and foils were perfectly dry. The CCR REFILLS concentrate contains food-grade mineral oil as a lubricant and it does the job really well.

I recomm The CCRREFILLS packets are quite popular in the USA and would be my top pick for users located there or in Canada. Pour into a wide container Philips Jet Clean solution or Sterilium in an amount that will cover the shaving head.The ingredient list of the Cleanerist fluid resembles the original Braun solution: aliphatic hydrocarbons (less than 5%), fragrance, Citral, d-Limonene, Geraniol, Linalool, Hexyl cinnamaldehyde. Granted, you could just make a solution that only cleans the razor and then you can lubricate the cutters yourself. I have found that alcohol is useful in cleaning plastics and cleaning cuts received when replacing rubber rollers. It will be more efficient to direct running water in a small stream into a large hole and let the water drain from a small one. I know you haven’t used Shaver Shebang, but just looking for your opinion anyway given your extensiveknowledge.
