Braun Series 5 590cc Good razor.
I have been using Norelco electric shavers for 35 years, about 5 of them. Due to battery issues and droppage, time to get a new shaver.

I wanted to try out a foil type. I did not want to settle for the bottom of the line nor pay for top of the line, so I chose the 550cc. The price is steep, more than double the entry Norelco or Braun. I have used it every day for about 2 weeks. It works very well. I am getting a good shave. The clean station works well. The cleaning solution has a light pleasant smell.

My only complaint so far is the power cord. I do not have a lot of counter space in my bathroom. The cord sticks out of the back right area about half way up about 2 inches. If I put it in the corner of the counter, it is sort of ok. The end that plugs into the wall sticks straight out from the wall more than 3 inches. The wall adapter for my Norelco is a right angle arrangement that is only 3/4 inch tall when plugged in. Braun needs to go back to the CAD package on this one.
