There’s also a body trimmer + comb attachment specific to the Series 5 5050cs and the 50-W4650cs (UK model). This is a follow up to my comments of 20 May, 24 June, and 4 Oct of 2020. The unit has continue to perform well with one notable exception. On an increasing basis the unit will suddenly not turn on when I have one or two dots indicating between one third and two thirds of a charge left. If I plug it in for even just a second, it will then turn on and show the expected amount of charge left. If this continues, I will have to return it to Braun for a replacement. As mentioned above, I have used most attachmentsthat come with electric shavers and found them all close to useless, even the trimmer. I believe dedicated trimmers and anything dedicated to a certain grooming task is much better than these multitools. However, others get along better with them than me and have little to no complaints. Awesome review as always, Dave. Thank you for taking the time to write a follow-up. I agree, the battery life is fantastic. The Series 6 comes with a very similar shaving head to the Series 7, comprised of two foils and one middle trimmer.

That one is actually the predecessor of the Series 7 that we all know (the generation prior to the 2020 update, the 2007 – 2013 Series 7 9595/790cc). The introduction of the Synchro System was a very important milestone for modern electric shavers. I think it’s great that you managed to find a brand new unit — looking forward to hearing your thoughts about it. Hi – thanks for the note and sorry for the wrong model info. You are correct it was NOT the 3040 it was actually the 310s type 5409. Definitely a low end model.

Not sure which models suits you best?

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. I agree — from that list of shavers, the older 5197cc seems to be the best deal. Performance-wise, it is pretty close to the old S7 and definitely better than the new S5 and S6.

It’s actually quite close performance-wise to the old Series 7 (just not as refined and smooth), but it costs significantly less.Again, I think it’s a decent shaver, especially when used on short facial hair and for users with less coarse beards, but it feels underwhelming for a Series 7. When we talk about the battery life of Braun 6020s, it has a lithium-ion battery which is pretty standard nowadays and matches contemporary electric shavers in the market. If you’re looking for a cleaning station for your Series 6, you would need to buy the following item: Braun 81697132 (aka Type 5434). I’m not exactly sure I understand the last part of your comment, could you please elaborate a bit on that?

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. Hello Ovidiu. Thanks for the information provided by you. I have a S7 shaver, and i want to replace the head. Question. CLarryould the S5 and S6 shaver head fit on the S7 shaver? Reply The Series 6 is the novelty of this 2020 launch in the way that we didn’t previously have a Series 6 line (as opposed to the Series 7 and 5).

To be perfectly honest, I completely ignore these reminders regardless of the shaver I’m using. Because of how they work, they’re of little to no use and more like a slight annoyance. The solo models that are basically identical don’t even have a hygiene indicator. The overall design of the shaver is quite impressive with key-value addition. Overall, I would say the design change is a much-needed improvisation making Braun models more contemporary and lightweight. Shaving Performance of Braun Series 6 6020s Upgrade your shaver for more grooming needs. Includes a Precision Trimmer attachment for moustache and sideburns trimming. I got the option with the precision trimmer but no beard combs…problem, now I have a (COVID) beard and need the combs. Can I buy just the combs? I saw BT32 but it says compatible with Series 3….hmmm… Reply
