In January 2020, Braun quietly released 3 new lines of electric shavers: the Series 7, the Series 6 and the Series 5.
Even though I love using shaving cream with my electric shavers, in this case, the main benefit of doing that was the improved gliding of the head and a slightly closer shave. The display is just awesome, simple and it gives you more than enough info. It displays when the shaver has to be cleaned, when it has to be oiled, is able to display the duration of your last shave, the battery level is always on display even when the shaver is not in charge and turned off, pretty decent battery life, the Smart Logic will charge the shaver when it’s needed – as we all know, all later Braun shavers start charging the shaver once the cleaning station is done with the cleaning. Here’s an actionable summary that highlights the differences that really matter and should make it easier for you to decide which one to get: SeriesFor this reason, I don’t think it would be a good fit for users with a heavy beard. If you have light to medium facial hair you should be fine. A surprise is that it comes with an actual paper instruction manual. Too many products today only have their manual online, however not everyone has immediate access to the Internet. The Braun Series 6 SensoFoil is easy to use and has everything a man needs from a shaver, including quality foils/blades and an ergonomically friendly design. It’s quite simplistic and not overly expensive.
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. I have had three disturbing incidents (not during the timed tests) in the past two months. On two occasions, the razor would not turn on and there was no indication of a charge, despite the fact that I knew I should have fifteen or twenty minutes of charge left. I plugged it in for less than a minute and the razor then worked normally. Additionally, I received the expected remainder of charge which in both cases was indeed some fifteen or so minutes. Shaving Elements– The Series 6 has two shaving foils on either side of the center cutter. The center cutter is designed to help lift and/or reduce the size of longer hairs for the two outer foils to shave them close. The charger: got a spring like cable which Braun stopped manufacturing them I recall from 2015 models onwards. I personally prefer the old spring like cables on the charger.

Secondly, the trimmer is a lot bulkier than a pop-up trimmer and gets in the way. As a result, you don’t always see what you’re doing. I bought it from an online Japanese auction, and since I reside in Japan, the delivery was a breeze. You can use fine machine oil, clipper oil, sewing machine oil or even a spray lubricant for electric shavers. So I would say that the Series 6 is a good choice if you have light to medium hair and tend to shave more often. There are other foil shavers in this price range like the Panasonic Arc 4 that will provide a closer shave.
The name Series 6 suggests that performance-wise, the shaver should sit right between the (old) Series 5 and Series 7. Among the reasons for switching to electric shavers are their convenience, practicality, comfort, and ease of use/maintenance. And while your technique and skin may still need some time, your 2020 Series 5 may be a limiting factor. I understand that you need a budget-friendly razor, so the options aren’t too many in this price range. The Series 3 ProSkin is a bit better in my experience, but not significantly. It is easier to maneuver and I even think it’s got a bit more power.
Mini Buying Guide
Except when charging, always unplug this appliance from the electrical outlet immediately after using.
I spoke to Braun late on Thursday, the 15th of April 2021 and they created a return authorization for my Braun 6020s. I went to the post office on Monday morning, the 19th of April. I shipped it via two day mail, and they received it Wednesday morning, the 21st. In my earlier review, I noted that the case is not a hard plastic case but rather some sort of plastic cloth case without vents. This has indeed become a bit of an issue since it collects dust and dirt, in particular stubble. Even though I most often rinse the razor every day after use, there are rare occasions where I don’t have time or the water to do that. The case has collected a bit of dust/stubble and it doesn’t clean easily nor well. It takes some effort to clean it and even then it doesn’t clean well. There’s a plastic ring surrounding the button on top of the arm that is actually an LED and it will inform you about the level of the cleaning fluid. In fact, with its fixed shaving head and the less powerful motor (same as the one in the Series 6), the new Braun Series 5 truly feels like a glorified Series 3.
The included accessories vary depending on the model — we’ll take a detailed look in the next section.
