Braun Series 5 5118s electric foil shaver for men — Waterproof, Wet & Dry, Turbo mode, 50‑min battery

The Braun Series 5 5118s is a waterproof men's foil shaver that delivers a fast, comfortable close shave with three flexible blades, two speed modes and up to 50 minutes of battery life.

The Series 5 5118s combines adaptive cutting technology with Braun engineering to make daily grooming quicker and gentler on skin. Designed and built in Germany, this cordless foil shaver adapts to facial contours with three flexing blades and offers both a Standard mode for balanced comfort and a Turbo mode for higher cutting speed. It works wet or dry and includes a precision trimmer and an EasyClick system that lets you swap attachments fast.

How does the Series 5 5118s give a closer shave without irritating skin?

The shaver’s three flexible blades move independently to follow jawlines and neck curves, reducing the need to press hard and minimizing tugging. The foil system lifts and cuts hairs efficiently while protecting skin from direct blade contact.

• Three flex blades adapt to facial contours for uniform cutting
• Foil design reduces skin contact and friction
• Precision trimmer attachment for sideburns and moustache detail

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

Yes — the Series 5 5118s is fully waterproof for wet and dry use, so you can shave with water, gel or foam, or simply use it on dry skin. The sealed body makes rinsing under the tap easy for daily maintenance.

• IPX-rated waterproof construction for rinsing and wet shaving
• Safe to use with shaving creams, gels or in the shower
• Quick-clean design: rinse blades directly under running water

What battery performance and charging should I expect?

The built-in Li‑Ion battery supplies up to 50 minutes of cordless runtime on a full charge, enough for several shaves depending on beard thickness. A quick charge option gives enough power for a single shave when you’re pressed for time.

• Up to 50 minutes cordless runtime per full charge
• Fast-charge feature for one shave when time is limited
• Battery-powered design for travel-friendly portability

How easy is it to customize or maintain the shaver?

The EasyClick system lets you attach or swap the precision trimmer quickly and gives access to replacement heads without tools. Regular rinsing and occasional brush cleaning keep performance consistent; replacement foils and cutters restore peak cutting when needed.

• EasyClick attachment system for trimmer and future accessories
• Cleaning brush included for blade area maintenance
• Replaceable head components extend product lifetime

It suits those with sensitive skin seeking gentle foil cutting, commuters or travelers who need cordless runtime, and anyone who prefers the flexibility to shave wet or dry.
