Braun Series 6 Electric Shaver for Men with Precision Trimmer, Wet & Dry, UK 2 Pin Plug, 60-B1200s, Blue Razor

Product Information

With the Series 6 (and the rest of the 2020 models), Braun also moved away from the familiar design language we’ve seen with their previous Series 5 and 9 shavers. When disconnected, the hand-held part of this shaving appliance may be used in a bath or shower. For safety reasons this appliance can only be operated cordless. A direct consequence of the wet/dry operation is that the shaver will not work with the cord plugged in. Always attach plug to appliance first, then to outlet. To disconnect, turn all controls off, then remove plug from outlet.

I did three tests timed with a stop watch each time I shaved, and I received the following total times of use on a single charge; 66 minutes, 64 minutes, and 66 minutes. The battery life has so far been good and better than the stated 50 minutes.

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Using the Braun Series 6 with a good shaving cream actually improved the closeness a bit, but I still wouldn’t say it was great. 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.

Since they’re waterproof, you can also clean them with water. 2. Braun Series 7 (2020) Model Comparison

Overall, electric shavers offer a very different shaving experience for men, especially if they've only been used to wet shaves with a razor blade. For one thing, you don't have to push as hard with a foil shaver as you would when shaving manually. Our close electric shavers allow for a smooth finish with superb results. Just trim your beard with one of our great beard trimmers before shaving to help remove the excess facial hair from your face unless you have already shaved in the last few days. Mini Buying Guide Wet & dry– The Braun Series 6 is waterproof and can be used when shaving in the shower or the bath. Users may shave dry or wet with their favorite shaving cream or foam. So if you want to use the station, you’ll have to opt for a cc model from the beginning. Conclusion 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. There are other foil shavers in this price range like the Panasonic Arc 4 that will provide a closer shave.

However, compared to the older Series 5 generation (with models like 5040s, 5140s and 5190cc), the performance is clearly a step-down. Also worth mentioning, if you’ll be using soap to clean your shaver, you will need to lubricate the blades manually as soap will remove any traces of lubricant. Electric razor with SensoFlex: the dermatologically tested swivel head adapts to minimize skin pressure for sensitive skin 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. My main gripe with the 2020 Series 7, Series 6 and Series 5 is that they perform a bit underwhelming, they share similar parts (cassettes, design, cleaning stations and motors in the case of the Series 6 and 5) and are in many ways a downgrade from some existing Braun models.The motor fitted to it is similar in my opinion to the one found on the new 2020 Series 5, if not identical, so if you have a very coarse beard, the Series 6 probably won’t be the best option. 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.
