Braun Series 5 5118s Electric Shaver – Waterproof Foil Shaver, Wet & Dry, 50-Min Battery

The Braun Series 5 5118s combines adaptive blade technology, two power settings and a precision trimmer in a compact, battery-powered body. Designed and engineered in Germany, this foil shaver uses three flexible cutting elements that move independently to follow jawlines and neck curves. Whether you prefer a quick dry shave or a comfortable wet shave with foam or gel, the Series 5 supports both routines and allows head swaps via the EasyClick system for future upgrades.

How does the Series 5 5118s give a faster shave without sacrificing comfort?

The shaver balances speed and skin protection by matching a powerful motor with flexible cutting elements that keep contact across changing facial angles. A Turbo mode increases cutting actions for denser beards while the standard mode maintains a gentler pace for sensitive areas.

• Turbo mode delivers up to 25,500 cutting actions per second for tougher hair.
• Three independently moving blades adapt to facial contours for consistent contact.
• Foil design provides a close cut while minimizing skin irritation.

Can I use it in the shower or with shaving cream?

Yes — the Series 5 5118s is fully waterproof for wet and dry use, so you can shave over a splash of water, with foam or gel, or rinse the device clean under running water. The sealed housing protects internal components, keeping performance reliable after exposure to water.

• IPX-level waterproof design allows rinsing and in-shower use.
• Wet shaving compatibility for added comfort with gels or creams.
• Easy cleaning by simply rinsing the head under water.

What maintenance and accessories are included?

The shaver ships with a precision trimmer attachment and a cleaning brush to keep the foil and cutters free of trapped hair. The EasyClick head system lets you remove or replace the shaving head quickly, so you can fit optional attachments or new heads when needed.

• Includes precision trimmer for sideburns and detail work.
• Cleaning brush for routine debris removal and quick upkeep.
• EasyClick mechanism simplifies head replacement and accessory swaps.

How long does the battery last and how does charging work?

The built-in Li-Ion battery provides up to 50 minutes of cordless runtime on a full charge, making it suitable for multiple shaves between charges. Charging is straightforward and designed for everyday use without memory effect typical of older battery types.

• Up to 50 minutes of shaving per full charge for travel convenience.
• Li-Ion technology delivers consistent power and longevity.
• Lightweight, battery-powered design avoids tangled cords during use.
