Why has my Braun Rechargeable shaver's shaving performance decreased?
- W
  walkercristinaSep 4, 2025
  A drop in shaving performance of your Braun Rechargeable shaver can occur for several reasons: * The foil and cutter may be worn, requiring replacement. * The personal setting of shaving performance may have been changed; consider using the green (intensive) setting for a faster shave. * The shaving system could be clogged. To resolve this, soak the Foil & Cutter cassette in hot water with a drop of dish liquid, rinse it thoroughly, tap it out, and apply a drop of light machine oil once it's dry.

Why does my Braun Electric Shaver turn off with a fully charged battery?

  James WilliamsAug 23, 2025
  If your Braun Electric Shaver turns off even with a fully charged battery, it's likely due to worn foil and cutter, demanding more power than the motor can provide. Replace the Foil & Cutter cassette and regularly oil the shaving system, particularly after cleaning it with water only.

  Janet AllenSep 2, 2025
  If the battery segments in the display of your Braun Electric Shaver are skipped as the battery capacity decreases, it usually means the foil and cutter are worn, requiring more power for each shave. You should replace the Foil & Cutter cassette. Regularly oiling the shaving system, especially after cleaning with water only, can also help.

Why is there increased consumption of cleaning fluid in my Braun 5697 Electric Shaver's cleaning station?

  Increased cleaning fluid consumption in your Braun Electric Shaver's cleaning station is often due to a clogged drain. Clean the drain with a wooden toothpick and regularly wipe the tub clean to resolve this.

Why is the shaver head of my Braun 5697 still damp after cleaning?
- S
  Sean BellAug 31, 2025
  A damp shaver head on your Braun Electric Shaver after cleaning can result from a short drying time after automatic cleaning. Clean directly after shaving to allow sufficient drying time. A clogged drain in the Clean&Renew station can also cause this; clean it with a wooden toothpick and regularly wipe the tub clean. If the cleaning cartridge has been used for a while, the ethanol/isopropanol proportion may have decreased, while the oil proportion increased, remove residue with a cloth.

How to get rid of the unpleasant smell from my Braun Electric Shaver head?
- D
  Dr. William SimmonsAug 29, 2025
  An unpleasant smell from your Braun Electric Shaver head can occur if it's cleaned with water alone or if the cleaning cartridge has been in use for over 8 weeks. When cleaning with water, use hot water and occasionally a bit of liquid soap (without abrasive substances). Remove the Foil & Cutter cassette to allow it to dry properly. Replace the cleaning cartridge at least every 8 weeks.

What to do if shaving performance dropped significantly on my Braun Electric Shaver?
- E
  Erica CherryAug 27, 2025
  A significant drop in shaving performance with your Braun Electric Shaver can be caused by several factors. First, the foil and cutter may be worn and need replacement. Second, check if the personal setting for shaving performance has been changed. For a thorough and fast shave, the green (intensive) setting is recommended. Third, the shaving system might be clogged. To resolve this, soak the Foil & Cutter cassette in hot water with a drop of dish liquid, then rinse it properly, tap it out, and apply a drop of light machine oil once it's dry.

Why has the battery performance of my Braun 5697 dropped significantly?
- J
  jamesthomasAug 26, 2025
  If the battery performance of your Braun Electric Shaver has dropped significantly, it could be due to worn foil and cutter requiring more power for each shave, or the shaver head is regularly cleaned with water but not lubricated. To fix this, renew the Foil & Cutter cassette. If you regularly clean the shaver with water, apply a drop of light machine oil on top of the foil once a week for lubrication.
