Is the Braun Series 5 a foil or rotary shaver?

It is a foil shaver with a flexible multi-head foil. Foil shavers generally suit men who want a close, skin-friendly shave along the jaw and neck.

Can I use it in the shower?

Yes. It is waterproof and rated for wet or dry use, so you can shave with foam or gel in the shower and rinse it under the tap.

How long does the battery last and how long to charge?

Braun rates it at up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving, and a full charge takes about 5 hours. The LED display shows remaining charge.

Does it work with different voltages abroad?

Yes. The charger supports 100-240V with automatic conversion, so it works in most countries with the right plug adapter.

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

The Series 5 is simpler and less expensive, with fewer cutting elements and no cleaning station on most versions. The higher series shave closer and faster, especially on dense growth, but cost more.

Typically the shaver, a protective cap, a cleaning brush and a charging cord. Bundles vary, so check the specific version for a case or cleaning station.
