Review on Braun Electric Razor Series 6 6020s: Ultimate Electric Foil Shaver for Men - Precision Trimming, Wet & Dry, Rechargeable by Adina Jordan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

More information than a review

I hate reviews that are made the same day people receive the product or answers to questions like "I don't know". Why the hell are they answering questions they don't know the answer to? Absolutely stupid as hell. Well I do a same day review. I've only used this shaver twice and was trying to find a cleaning/charging station as they provide little to no real info on it. Before I knew it, I had been using Norelco/Phillips for 50 years and finally got fed up with their razor heads and blade action. Heads now come matte on arrival from the factory and are only $55-$70. I've never liked foil razors but I think I'll love this one if it continues to offer a close shave and maximum comfort. I have a medium beard, I am always clean-shaven and my face and neck are sensitive. This device is very useful for me. I hate the user manual as it's an attempt to be complete in picture form. Most of it is understandable, but a significant part of it required, at least for me, to solve the mystery of what exactly this or that picture means. For that, I should downgrade the device by at least one star or more, but I'll wait and make further adjustments to the rating based on how the device performs over the next few months. Now for real reasons I am reviewing this product. The 53B foil blade replacement shaving head fits both the new generation 5 series shavers and the 6 series shavers. For your information, "B" stands for black. I have found this head in many places for between $29 and $43. It's available from Revain since June 9th, 2020. The cleaning and charging station is actually also a charging station. Neither the manual for the shaver nor the manual for the cleaning station for the 6 series really explains how to use it. It's easy enough to figure out how to load the station with the cleaning solution cartridge and place the shaver in the station with the help of the pictures. What is missing is how the station works. Once the station is loaded with the solution cartridge and shaver and you turn it on, you must leave it on. The station will flash blue during operation and turn on and off during the cleaning/charging cycle. Mine has gone through the cycle seven times. Each time after the initial cycle, the device will turn off and drain the solution back into the cartridge while the blue light continues to flash. Then you will hear a buzz if you have good hearing aids like I do when the next cycle starts. This noise only lasts a few seconds, then the engine starts, runs for a while and stops again. Once the cycle is complete, the blue light will stay on until charging is complete and turn off. The next day, if everything works properly, the shaver will be dry, oiled and fully charged, ready to use. I think this thing will honestly earn 5 stars in a few months. Just take a look.
