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

Product Information

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. Here’s an actionable summary that highlights the differences that really matter and should make it easier for you to decide which one to get: Series

A surprise is that it comes with an actual paper instruction manual. Too many products today only have their manual online, however not everyone has immediate access to the Internet. Braun Series 6 electric shaver for men features a dermatologically tested SensoFlex swivel head and SensoFoil blades that enable low pressure adaptation for closeness, whilst remaining sensitive on your skin.

Will you be claiming the VAT back?

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. Clean and charge station: it’s made in Ireland. It looks quite identical to other Braun cleaning stations, however, it’s got a fan inside with a button to select the functions as clean or charge. Literarily, it gives you two options as either just clean the shaver or to charge it only. To recharge the battery, only use the detachable power supply provided with this appliance. If the appliance is marked 492, only use Braun power supplies coded 492-XXXX. 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. In my opinion you shouldn’t give up on electric shavers just yet. The 2020 Series 5 is not a particularly capable electric shaver and since it’s also your first, the results are likely to be far from satisfactory.

The box states that you will receive 50 minutes of shaving time, but I found after timing my shaves that I am consistently getting over 60 minutes, with a the longest being 74 minutes. This was a pleasant surprise! First of all, you constantly have to swap the cassette with it and that can be fiddly since there are no release tabs.Other cc models that are shipped with the station include the 6090cc, 6072cc, or the 60-B7500cc (European model). The name Series 6 suggests that performance-wise, the shaver should sit right between the (old) Series 5 and Series 7. So yes, the old Series 7 and 5 are simply better in every way that matters and if you can get them and don’t need the trimmer attachments and combs, I think you’ll be a lot happier.
