Rechargeable mesh razors provide a quick shave, and through various modifications make this process more comfortable.
Thanks to the presence of several elements at once, Braun electric shavers instantly respond to pressure changes and adapt to individual facial contours. Special technology allows you to capture a large number of hairs in one go.
The main components of the Braun electric shaver
A standard mesh razor consists of:
- cassettes with mesh and cutting unit;
- cassette release buttons;
- speed switch;
- power on and off buttons;
- display;
- trimmers for long hair;
- contacts for connecting cleaning systems and a charger;
- trimmer lock buttons for long hair;
- hard travel case;
- brushes;
- protective cap;
- special cord for charging.
How does the Brown mesh razor differ from the rest
A mesh razor, such as the Braun 3050cc electric shaver, is ideal for any type of shave (both classic dry and wet). The presence of a special trimmer allows not only to shave the bristles of different lengths, but also to trim the beard and mustache.
The device is supplied with various nozzles, as well as a special protective cover for the working part. Of the other useful features, special attention should be paid to the possibility of self-cleaning, a moisture resistant housing and a four-level battery charge indicator. The device can continuously work for 45 minutes on one full charge.
The razor is charged in just an hour, and if there is a need for urgent use, the manufacturer provides a special quick charge function (in just 5 minutes). It is quite enough for one shaving session. Two razors provide the most efficient shave, and the quick charge feature makes the razor the perfect travel option.
It is worth noting the low cost of this razor - the average price on the market is 5500 rubles.
Benefits of Using an Electric Shaver
Many elements of the shaving system, for example, in Braun series 3 electric shavers, are able to respond to changing pressure, and the innovative MicroComb technology captures almost all the hairs in the area (even with a three-day bristle).
Special cleaning and recharging stations remove up to 99% of microorganisms.
Modern razors allow for both dry and wet shaving. The light weight of the design and the ability to work on rechargeable batteries give the device mobility, autonomy and ease of use.
Characteristics of various models
A budget, but at the same time a good option to use is the Braun 300s electric shaver. This model is also mesh, which means it is safe in the process of shaving. The manufacturer guarantees a comfortable dry and wet shave. Power comes from the mains and battery.
In this model there is only one floating head and there is no self-cleaning system.
Among the positive characteristics, users distinguish:
- fast charge;
- light weight;
- low cost;
- possibility of quick cleaning.
The main disadvantages are:
- quick discharge;
- lack of trimmer, cover and brush for cleaning.
New technologies in the production of electric shavers
The novelties of the well-known body care product line offer the user a wide variety of options, complemented by modern design and features. For example, the Braun series 9 electric shaver is equipped with an innovative floating head with unique technology. Four razor elements that are independent of each other move in different directions from each other and carry out about 40 thousand microvibrations per minute. They effortlessly remove hairs that adhere to the skin, as well as hairs that grow in different directions.
The razor nets provide a perfect shave for a long time. The hairs adjacent to the skin raise and cut off special trimmers. For extra gentle shaving, Braun features SkinGuard skin protection technology.
All these cutting elements combine modern technology, which ensures maximum adaptation to a variety of facial contours and close contact with the skin for a better shave.
Additional features of some models
The new Braun electric shavers (such as Series 9) are designed for extreme conditions. The razor withstands the flow of running water, as well as a depth of up to 5 meters. This means that the case and all mechanisms are waterproof. Any Series 9 model can be used while bathing with foam, soap or gel - the quality of shaving will be many times better.
The five-stage cleaning and recharging station, which is equipped with a razor, cleans, independently charges, lubricates, selects a cleaning program and dries after pressing a single button - this allows the Braun Series 9 razor to be in excellent condition even after repeated use. All information about the state of the electric shaver is reflected in an innovative display that displays the battery level, and various information about the need to clean, recharge or lock the device during transportation.
Rules for use and care of the razor
During use and storage of the shaver, simple charging, care and cleaning operations should be performed.
Charging the device is necessary to continue its work in standalone mode.
Cleaning the device at the end of use is carried out by two methods: manually or using a special system.
In the first case, you should:
- Switch on the electric shaver (without connecting to the mains) and rinse the head under running water. For cleaning, you can use liquid soap. After the foam is washed off, the razor should work for a few more seconds.
- Next, turn off the device and remove the shaving net and the cutting unit. It is necessary to leave them until completely dried in a disassembled state.
Important! With regular manual cleaning, a drop of special oil should be applied weekly to the cutting part of the block.
To care for your Braun electric shaver, use a brush to remove the cassette, which consists of a cutting unit and shaving mesh, and tap it on a flat surface. Next, brush the inner surface of the floating head with a brush.
Important! In no case should you brush the cassette itself.
Installation of a special cleaning device is carried out in several stages:
- First, remove the protective foil from the display of the Clean & Charge device, insert a special cord into the device’s power connector and connect it to the mains.
- Next, press the button to raise the casing (located on the back of the razor).
- Then put the cleaning cartridge on a flat, stable surface (such as a table).
- Next, carefully remove the cartridge cover.
- After the cartridge is inserted from the back into the base of the device and is rigidly fixed.
Important! The cover should be pressed slowly and carefully until it is fully lowered and locked.
Transportation is carried out in a state disconnected from the network and recharging. You should also use a special case for transporting razors at any distance.
Safety precautions when using an electric shaver
The electric shaver can be used by children no younger than 8 years old, as well as by persons with disabilities, provided that they are supervised or carefully studied the necessary instructions and safety precautions. The user must understand all the risks associated with the use of the device. It is not permitted to use the appliance as a toy. Children must be supervised while using the appliance (cleaning, maintenance).
The oil bottle should also be stored in places inaccessible to children.
Possible malfunctions and their elimination
During operation of the Braun series electric shaver some problems or malfunctions can occur, in most cases, they can be eliminated at home.
The most common faults are:
- The appearance of an unpleasant odor from the head of a razor. This occurs if the cartridge has not changed for more than 8 weeks or if the mechanism is washed with water. To fix the problem, rinse the head with hot water and liquid soap and replace the cleaning cartridge.
- Decreased battery performance. Occurs when the razor head is not lubricated with oil or when the shaving mesh is worn.
- Decreased shaving element performance. May occur in case of clogging of the shaving system or its wear. In this case, it is necessary to replace the elements shown.
- The razor head is wet. Perhaps it did not have time to dry after automatic cleaning, or the drain hole of the cleaning device is clogged. To eliminate the malfunction, clean the hole.
- If the cleaning system does not start after pressing the power button, the razor is not inserted correctly into the device or there is not enough liquid in the cleaning cartridge. To eliminate this, reinsert the shaver into the device and replace the cleaning cartridge.
- In case there is an increased consumption of cleaning fluid (often found in Braun series 5 electric shavers), clean the drain hole with a wooden toothpick.
Recommendations for use
To use the Braun series electric shaver, you must:
- Turn it on by clicking on the appropriate button.
- To shave hard-to-reach spots, switch the switch to the lower position to lock the shaving head (the latter can be locked in five different positions). To change them, the head should be moved forward or backward relative to the razor body. A distinctive click will indicate that the switch is set correctly.
- To cut long hair (for example, whiskers, mustaches), press the lock button, extend the long hair trimmer and cut.
