Is the Braun Series 5 S5 5160 good for sensitive skin?

It is designed for it. The SkinGentle foil and SmoothShave blade aim to protect skin while cutting longer hairs, and the two shave modes let you pick a gentler setting. Wet shaving with gel can further reduce friction.

Can I use it in the shower?

Yes. It is fully waterproof and rated for wet and dry use, so you can shave at the sink or in the shower. Rinse it under running water to clean the head.

How long does the battery last?

Up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving per charge. That covers roughly a week or more of daily shaves for most users.

Does it come with a beard trimmer?

Yes. A precision trimmer is included for edges, sideburns and beard lines. It is a detail trimmer, not a full-length beard clipper.

How does it compare with the Braun Series 7 or 9?

The Series 5 keeps the wet/dry build and skin-friendly foil but gives up some closeness and advanced features found on the Series 7 and 9. It suits daily shavers who want comfort and flexibility over the closest possible cut.

The shaver, a precision trimmer, a protective cap and a 4-in-1 cleaning center. Check the listing for any regional extras.
