I’m used to the 5 series shaver and although this is a 5 according to Braun, it’s more like a 5a type. By comparison it is much quieter, the head is maybe the slightest bit larger, but is definitely more of a “floating” head that softly depresses against your face, giving a close shave. It is very ergonomic in your hand and easy to use. Lastly, it cleans by only tapping the head to shake out the cuttings and then brushing the rest away. You can also clean it by washing it with water. Only minus is you have to change the head to attach a trimmer blade- it doesn’t pop up as on the 5 series shaver.

I only shave every 2 or 3 days (I'm retired and can get away with that). Unfortunately, if I do that this razor does not cut all the beard growth and leaves hairs. You have to go over repeatedly, or in my case, go over with my old Norelco I wanted to replace. If I shave again the next day, I am happy with this Braun, otherwise it is a disappointment. Charging, cleaning, etc seem ok.

Works well, easy to hold and use even with limited use hands. Quiet, fast shave. Not as close as some but no neck rash issues. so far so good. Not sure what the " recharging stand" is as it just plugs into the wall with a cord...charged quickly. Happy with my purchase and it appears replacement heads are affordable and the heads last.

Braun make top shelf products. That's why we returned. Why not 5 stars? We wish their longevity was as high. Most shavers we've purchased have no parts (esp heads) available, and if so, are so highly priced you just as well but the newer model. But we're just one user on that count, I am light bearded so well! --CPL
