New Braun Series 5--maximum performance and skin comfort, even in problem areas
![Philips](http://web.archive.org/web/20140502065914im_/http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/02/uk-health-and-beauty/Braun/S5_5030s_13_features.jpg")
Series 5 is equipped with a unique combination of power and precision for uncompromising performance without sacrificing on skin comfort. While the FlexMotionTec delivers significantly more skin contact in problem areas for efficient shaving with less skin pressure, the 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 highest Braun quality standards.
- MicroMotion: Individual suspension of all cutting elements even responds to the smallest contours and automatically steers the MacroMotion system.
- MacroMotion: 40° pivoting shaver head effortlessly navigates along larger contours for maximum skin contact.
- Patented UltraActiveLift effectively captures problem hairs especially in the neck and chin area. Unique oscillating trimmer lifts and cuts flat-lying hairs in fewer strokes.
- CrossHair blade for outstanding closeness that lasts. Captures stubborn hairs growing in different directions and even the shortest stubble.
- New PowerDrive for high speed cutting even on dense hair. 20% more motor power than before supplies sufficient torque on every terrain.

(What's this?)
Braun's habit of branding all their innovations with über-tech names like FlexMotionTec, UltraActiveLift and MacroMotion might make this shaver sound like a gimmick-filled toy but, ironically enough, what you actually get is the most refined and un-gimmicky shaver you could want. I'm sure all those features are there, working away in the background, but all you're really aware of is how good a shave it gives you.
This 5030s shaver claims to have been 'Made in Germany' and it feels like it, there's a real solidity and precision to it. The design is mostly understated and practical, the rubberised finish make it easy to hold and manoeuvre and they've kept the controls to a minimum. There are only two buttons, the power button (which also locks the shaver when held down for a few seconds) and a button which fixes the shaver head into one of 5 positions. Unlike earlier Braun shavers the foil and cutting block are now combined into one replaceable precision unit and each of the two foils and the middle trimmer are independently sprung so they conform to every contour. That independent suspension is probably one of the features with a fancy name - you don't need to know the name, just know that it works. The other impressive thing is how powerful it is compared to my previous Braun shavers, it does scythe though heavy stubble pretty easily - Braun call that the PowerDrive and I'll give them that one.
Quick tip for blade shaving men about to try their first electric shaver - never wet your face or beard before using an electric shaver (unless you've bought a specific wet & dry shaver like the Braun 5040) because this makes the stubble soft and pliable and it won't get cut cleanly by the foil.

I have always had a problem whenever it comes to shaving; a few strokes of a razor to my face and my skin turns red and spotty. I have tried numerous shaving foams and moisturisers yet have never been able to combat this reaction. I looked online and many other men with sensitive skin had recommended using an electric shaver. Believing that you get what you paid for, I was prepared to pay that little bit more and chose the Braun 5030. Since using it for a few months the rashes and soreness have completely stopped, allowing me to shave every day rather than once or twice a week. As I am about to join the Navy and will be required to shave daily, this razor has made the task a lot less arduous and worrisome for myself.

Ordered this to replace an ageing Braun which although still working is not holding charge to well (after 10 years).
This 5030 is a very well made and designed piece of kit.I would describe my beard as medium/heavy and this shaver deals with it no problem. Unlike my replaced shaver, this one deals with neck heirs very well. Only gripe is the poor 'travel bag' which is a very insubstantial cloth bag. Would have expected a hard case for a shaver in this price range, so for this a deduction of one star! Would recommend.

After 3 months of using the Braun Series 5 shaver, which was a replacement for my 4 year old Series 3, I am now comfortable with my new shaver. It is bigger and heavier, but it sounds more powerful, and gives a good clean shave on face and neck, which is more effective than my old one. The shaver charge lasts noticeably longer, and the foil is more rigidly fixed than the Series 3 (which had a tendency to become detached if you shaved off 90 degrees) but I have found the Series 5 flexible head to be of no extra benefit, so I have locked it in a fixed position. This allows me to apply more pressure to get the closest shave possible. The only disappointment is with the mustache/ beard trimmer which does not appear to be as wide or as sharp as the Series 3 - but is that just my shaver? Whilst I bought my Series 5 shaver through Amazon at a heavily discounted price (just slightly more than the Series 3), if there had been no discount I would have been happy to buy a Series 3 rather than pay more than �100 extra for a Series 5 - however both are more effective than my previous Philips and Panasonic shavers of the past, so I cannot ever see me buying anything other than a Braun.

(What's this?)
I've always viewed Braun products favourably and this doesn't let the brand down. It feels quite sturdy and solid when you hold it, which feels quite reassuring - I know it's going to last a long time, and with a young almost teenage son it needs to. My son tells me that it was nice and comfortable to use and didn't make his skin feel tight and sore like the cheaper shaver he had at home; also it was quite quick to charge (about an hour), so at his age the charge lasts a couple of weeks. I agree with other reviewers that for the price Braun are selling it at you would expect a hard case to go with it and not a flimsy drawstring bag, and I noticed that the price has shot up to over �100 which is crazy. It's a nice solid razor but certainly not worth �100!

I've used and reviewed several electric shavers in the past and until this arrived I was using a Philips Aquatouch but this totally cuts any of those down to size. From the moment you remove it from the box you can see that it's well built and comes with a bag for travel - something that this particular shaver excels at with a locking function available to prevent accidently turning it on and wasting the battery while in the case. It has lights to indicate when its charging or needs charging and the whole unit is water resistant for easy cleaning - just run under the tap.
But what about the shave? Hopefully its not just because its new but I can't knock this, massively more effective than the Philips unit I was using before and probably as tight as a razor just without the risk or pain. You can also rotate the head and then lock it into various different positions which while not something that I personally used, something that I see could be useful for some people. After use, you can just unclip the top section and run it under the tap ensuring that its clean and ready to use for next time.
Overall, I can do little to fault this shaver. It's effective, flexible and keeps you informed - it comes highly recommended.
