Braun 5145s is a 3 rd generation Braun Series 5 existing model that has been altered from the Braun 5030s model. The 5030s is a 2 nd generation existing model that is not available on the market now. The Braun 5145s is the successor model of the Braun 5040s where there are very few dealers at present who sell the 5040s. In this regard, Braun is better compared to Panasonic which uses some really confusing and unnecessarily complicated names.

Also, if you already have a 93xx cc model, you can get a solo 93xx, 94xx Pro or 95xx Pro+ shaver and it will work with your station. Charging the 5018s from 0 to 100% takes around one hour. The charger (type 492-XXXX) has a USA plug and will work anywhere in the world (100–240v). You can wet shave with an electric razor and get fantastic results. The closeness can even match that of a razor blade.

When disconnected, the hand-held part of this shaving appliance may be used in a bath or shower. For safety reasons this appliance can only be operated cordless. To summarize, the shaving head and battery capacity are the main differences between the standard and the ProSkin models. I think they’re suitable for a variety of use cases and most of us can choose one to suit our needs and budgets.

And that’s because the cc models cost quite a lot more and those series are also supposed to be more budget-friendly. Also, the 190s and 170s have a different design compared to the rest, but are functionally the same. Finally, if you’re a fan of wet shaving for the added comfort and closeness, Panasonic is really in a league of its own in that regard. Easy Clean System – Braun states the blades can be cleaned without removing the blade head. A user may run water through the whole shaver’s head, and then water runs through the bottom of the head with any shaving debris. As such, you don’t really need to get a Series 5 50 or a Series 6 to benefit from the trimming accessories.The foil razors made by Braun are generally very comfortable and gentle, being my default recommendation for users with sensitive skin. The old Braun Series 5 was a great family of mid-range electric shavers that offered excellent performance at a good price.

You won’t however benefit much from the upgrade since the Series 7 70 shaver is also significantly more powerful, so just swapping the head of a Series 5 50 won’t turn it into a Series 7. Key takeaway First of all, I had to use even slower strokes to avoid hairs getting pulled. On a short beard, it wasn’t usually a problem, but in this situation more attention was needed. Fun fact: the 53b appears to be identical to the 73b and 73s cassettes used by the 2020 Series 7. I switched them around and they fit perfectly. It’s a wet/dry model that will only work as a cordless shaver. If you want cordless & corded operation, you will need to get one of the dry-only models like the 3000s or 3020s.As we already saw, the basic Series 3 uses the 21b cassette, while the Series 3 ProSkin comes with the 32b or 32s. Based on terminology and model names (regardless of series), there are basically two types of Braun shavers: The old Series 7 allowed the user to manually select a power setting, which was in my opinion more useful, albeit not entirely necessary. The changing interval is Braun’s standard 18 months, but you can expect that to vary based on how you use the shaver. Key takeaway Not dissimilar to most other Braun's foil shavers, the 60-B1200s uses SensoFoil blades. The advantage of these blades is that they have multiple tiny apertures spaced closely to each other. Not only does it help eliminate pulling the hair, but also it minimises the number of passes needed to achieve smooth results.
