Braun Series 6 Electric Shaver for Men with Precision Trimmer, Wet & Dry, UK 2 Pin Plug, 60-B1200s, Blue Razor

Product Information

Thank you for your comment, Ian, much appreciated. Sorry to hear about your issues with the Series 3 — I am not however certain it was that particular model as the 3040 does have a sideburn trimmer and it uses the exact same shaving head as the 3020s. It also has a (rather basic) battery level indicator. Note: all Series 6 models come with a hard travel case, cleaning brush and charging cord. The table only depicts the accessories that vary across the different models.

It’s a good choice for guys with sensitive skin, but as it is quite a mild shaver, you may need to keep going over the same spots because of the non-aggressiveness, which could still irritate the skin. However, the solution for this is to use a pre-electric shave lotion or other suitable lubricants (mild soaps or foams). Again, I think it’s a decent shaver, especially when used on short facial hair and for users with less coarse beards, but it feels underwhelming for a Series 7. The Braun Series 6 model I bought is the 60-B7500cc (UK) which is a 6075cc (USA) and 61-B7500cc (Europe and others).

Since the Series 6 costs less and is basically a less advanced model, they had to give up on some of the features.

Note: all Series 5 models come with a cleaning brush and charging cord (there’s no travel case unfortunately). The table only depicts the accessories that vary across the different models. Overall, the shaving performance of the Series 6 was decent, but again, rather underwhelming for a shaver in this price range. I have had three disturbing incidents (not during the timed tests) in the past two months. On two occasions, the razor would not turn on and there was no indication of a charge, despite the fact that I knew I should have fifteen or twenty minutes of charge left. I plugged it in for less than a minute and the razor then worked normally. Additionally, I received the expected remainder of charge which in both cases was indeed some fifteen or so minutes. So if you want to use the station, you’ll have to opt for a cc model from the beginning. ConclusionI bought it from an online Japanese auction, and since I reside in Japan, the delivery was a breeze. Hi – thanks for the note and sorry for the wrong model info. You are correct it was NOT the 3040 it was actually the 310s type 5409. Definitely a low end model. Braun have still issued a hard case with this, as well as a skimpier brush (contrasted to the older Brauns I have.

I think it also depends on the price difference between the two. The 7 is more powerful and will shave closer, but I find it way too grabby and not very comfortable. If I were to buy an inexpensive Braun, I would rather get the Series 3 ProSkin 3040s — in my opinion it is better than the Series 5 5-51. The next best Braun would be in my opinion the Series 8 if you can get a great deal on it. The new Series 7 just doesn’t offer enough compelling reasons to recommend it.The way I read the manual I would expect the cleaning indicator to come on when it needs cleaning and CC resets the timer. The box states that you will receive 50 minutes of shaving time, but I found after timing my shaves that I am consistently getting over 60 minutes, with a the longest being 74 minutes. This was a pleasant surprise! So in my opinion, unless you have a very good reason to opt for one of these three new releases, I think you’d better off with something else. As I suspected, the supplied brush is not terribly effective and rinsing it daily with the faucet on high has been the most effective way to clean it. I do from time to time use the brush from my old 5885 model Braun since that actually does a good job and compliments the daily rinsing quite nicely.

Braun Series 6 electric shaver for men features a dermatologically tested SensoFlex swivel head and SensoFoil blades that enable low pressure adaptation for closeness, whilst remaining sensitive on your skin. For this reason, I don’t think it would be a good fit for users with a heavy beard. If you have light to medium facial hair you should be fine. I also believe this is all related to cost cutting which is sad for end users. I rather pay slightly more but get a high end product with all the useful features same as Braun iconic model Syncro 7680.

Frequently asked questions

Many users agree and report that this shaver provides a comfortable shave compared to previous shavers that they have used. But then again, if you constantly grow a beard or stubble, you’d be better off with a full-fledged, dedicated beard trimmer instead. Another great feature is that it is made in Germany and not communist China, although strangely the box mentions that it is engineered in Germany but does not mention where it is manufactured.
