Product Description
The Braun Series 5 5090cc is not just another pretty shaver. It has enough testosterone under the hood to master any beard—even yours. Under sleek lines and brushed-metal accents, this shaver is equipped with a unique combination of power and precision for uncompromising performance without sacrificing skin comfort. FlexMotionTec delivers 3X more adaptability vs. previous Series 5 shavers to provide significantly more skin contact in problem areas for efficient shaving with less skin pressure. PowerDrive supplies 20% more motor power than before for high-speed cutting, even on dense hair. All Series 5 shavers are made in Germany and combine advanced technology with world-famous Braun design and the highest Braun quality standards. Like all premium Braun shavers, this shaver is lab-tested to last 7 years, excluding the shaver head. For better cleaning and longer-lasting shaver sharpness vs. water cleaning, Braun provides you with the convenience of the world’s only 4-action, alcohol-based Clean & Charge Station: It cleans, charges, lubricates, and selects the cleaning program at the touch of a button—so your shaver feels like new every day.

It cleans, charges, lubricates, and selects the cleaning program at the touch of a button—so your shaver feels like new every day.
Braun is the inventor of the Cleaning Center with over 10 years of experience in that area. Braun is the only brand to use alcohol-based cleaning fluid, which eliminates 99.999% of all germs and bacteria in every cleaning process. Tests have shown that using the Clean & Charge Station is 10X more hygienic than simply rinsing the shaver under tap water. And, because regular cleaning provides optimal hygiene, you can experience a fresh shave every day.
MultiHeadLock
Locks the shaver head at 1 of 5 available shaver-head angles for perfect adaptation to difficult-to-shave areas, like under the nose.
