William Crow:
Comfortable, lightweight, incredibly easy to clean, very ergonomic grip, excellent battery life. The trimmer attachment is fairly lame. It isn't a very effective trimmer at all. They needn't bother with the collection of guards they provide because you are pretty safe from it trimming too much! I have a cheap Wahl trimmer that uses disposable batteries that is far more effective. That said, the shave is closer than a blade, yet very safe and comfortable even with my sensitive skin. As far as I know, this is the least expensive Braun that's manufactured in Germany instead of China. I haven't owned the shaver long enough to evaluate how long the coil/cutting block lasts, Braun claims 18 months. My past experience with Braun and Remington is that foils develop holes and become unusable in a about 6 months. Even if this foil lasts only 12 months that would reduce the operating cost by half! By the way, beware of Chinese imitation foils on Amazon. Unless you look extremely closely, you won't realize that these are not manufactured by Braun. To be safe, look in the Braun Store in Amazon. The German made foil will set you back $35 instead of the approximately $20 of the...

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.

I upped the rating to 4 stars. I'm going to chalk issues up to my face and beard. It shaves my head nicely. I need to wait 2.5-3 days between shaves to get good results on my face.

After a couple of weeks, it’s not shaving nearly as good as it did initially. It irritates my skin, pulls whiskers. I keep it clean, charged, and always use a pre electric shave. I might be sending this one back.
—Original Review—
I have an incredibly sensitive face. Even safety razors irritate, though not nearly as bad as cartridges. Below will be considered heresy to safety razor purists.
The first time I used this shaver...I was NOT impressed. I used shave soap and there were lots of spots I had to hit with my DE. I tried dry shaving with it. I did not like it. Irritated my face. Then I bought Lectric shave pre-electric shave. This is a game changer.
I have two recommendations for shaving with this unit: Use some sort of pre-electric shave product. Not shaving cream or soap. Don't press hard when shaving. Take a little time and just keep shaving. I still hit problem areas with a blade, but the whiskers aren't...

I trust the brand Gillette because I owned a Gillette electric shaver in 2009 and today it is still working! I keep using the same blade (shaver head), no replacement, for over 10 years.
I was going to buy a new Gillette electric shaver but I found that it was acquired by Braun so I picked a Braun's shaver.
At arrival it didn't power up until connected to the charger. Not sure if the battery was drained or it required charging to activate before the first time of usage. Charging was very quick. The first time charging took about 20 min from low to full.
Braun claims that it has a 5 min quick charge technology for one shave, and a full charge provides 50 min continuous shaving time (about 3 week usage). I can't tell the battery running time since I shave weekly.
Shaving is much quicker than my old 2009 Gillette shaver. The new blades can easily cut the stubble. Its 3-cutting-element shaver head works perfectly on my thin stubble beard. I don't need the 360-degree flexible shaver head.
Also easy to clean due to its 100% waterproof feature and "EasyClean System" design - just place it under the water tap and flush. I don't even...

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.

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...
