Braun Series 5-550cc Works Great!
The reviews seemed good for this shaver and it was easy to see why. It's a sleek black product in a sleek black box. It doesn't just look good, it works! I've purchased Remington's and other razors. This quality product leaves no hair behind. It gets them all. I've always found it difficult to maintain electric shavers. I hope that won't be the case this time.

Braun Series 5-550cc Great little shaver - good value.
Would highly recommend this product. Close shave and value could not be better. Braun has always been my favorite company for a shaver.
Braun Series 5-550cc Electric Razor.
Have been using Braun electric shavers for years and this newer technology shaver is by far the best. It provides a very close and smooth shave and charges very quickly, I recommend this shaver to anyone who uses an electric shaver.

Braun Series 5-550cc Shaver Love it, should have got an electric shaver a long time ago
Braun Series 5-550cc Shaver Love it, should have got an electric shaver a long time ago.
This Braun electric shaver is fantastic and so is the cleaning, charging, and storage station. My girlfriend says now that I shave everyday I look much younger. The price was ridiculously low ($129) and I got a $20 Amazon gift card to top it off. Great deal! Free Shipping, no TAX!
Braun Series 5-550cc Shaver Excellent!
I bought this shaver for my 27 year old son for Christmas. He tells me that he is very pleased with it and that it is excellent. The shipping was prompt.

Braun Series 5-550cc Shaver well worth the price!!
Braun Series 5-550cc Shaver well worth the price!!
I can't understand why anyone would have a problem with this product. One issue I've seen in reading reviews is that it comes out of the cleaning unit still wet. If that's the case then you're doing something wrong. Clean it AFTER you shave; it's a 4 hour cycle. I haven't had to change the solution yet, but as long as it lasts I don't see that I will refill it myself like some have suggested. I do, however, take it out and reseal it in-between running cleaning cycles. After the cleaning cycle it's like using a brand new shaver again. The travel case is great, not one of those soft "Bag" type cases that simply hold the unit. This one will protect it when your suitecase is being abused by airport baggage handlers. I had been using a Norelco for over 30 years and switched to this unit after my brother bragged about how good it cleaned his neck; he wasn't lying. It does a great job cleaning around my jawline and neck and does an outstanding job trimming around my goatee. I found this on sale at Target for the same price they were asking on line, nice not having to wait for shipping. I would recommend the 500 series to anyone; well worth the price!!

Braun Series 5-550cc Best Price, Good razor.
Braun Series 5-550cc Best Price, Good razor.
My husband's last razor was a more conventional looking Braun razor; it finally died after many, many years of good service. Hated to pay this price range for an electric razor that he just doesn't use frequently (maybe once every 1 - 2 wks), but I am happy that I bought it.
The cleaning process, which he really didn't care about, turns out to be quite convenient and effective. After shaving, he removes the head, turns on the razor for about 10 or 15 seconds, emptying most of the clippings, and then he gives it a light brushing on the top (but not the actual razor edges), and the razor is visually clean (like his previous Braun).
After replacing the head, he places the razor back on in its receptacle/stand, presses the "cleaning" button and the cleaning process begins.
Next time he shaves, it looks and shaves like brand new! Also, he says he gets a good shave. I anticipate a long, productive life for this razor.

Braun Series 5-550cc High end shave for a decent price
Braun Series 5-550cc High end shave for a decent price.
I have been a manual shaver my entire life (15+ years of shaving). I always thought electrics were not going to get close enough to give a good shave. My gf (now my wife) got me a cheaper electric shaver when I was younger as that is what her father uses. I tried it for the 3 weeks or so and hated it. It tugged and pulled on my hairs and generally irritated my skin. I switched back to manual and never looked back.
Now fast forward to present day and I have grown tired of the irritation that I get from manual shaving (razor burn, bumps, in-grown hairs). I will be the first to admit I am not the best at shaving. I still get the occasional nick here and there but I get the job done. Well I saw this shaver on sale at a local department store and started thinking that it might be time to try these again. This time I will put down a little more money for a better shaver. I did research here on amazon and other places and settled on the Series 5-550cc as it has some of the higher end features from the series 7 but at a $100 cheaper price tag.
Having only been using this new razor for a few days I can already say that it was a good choice. I am getting a close shave faster and with much less irritation along my neck. Time to brake down the review:
Design: 5 stars
Feels good in hand with a well put together shaver. Sturdy with easy access to the long hair trimmer on the back of the shaver. This is a plus as the long hair trimmer on the more expensive series 7 model was redesigned and not as user friendly. LEDs are more minimal on this model but they get the job down and tell you what is going on in terms of battery life. The clean and charge station is just icing on the cake as it allows easy charging and hands free cleaning of the shaver after each use.
Shaving: 4 stars
This shaver does the job. Coming from a manual shave this gets really close. Especially on the face. The neck and jaw line I have noticed will have a little more stubble left over (why 4 stars) but the irritation-to-closeness of shave ratio is definitely in the positive. This review might have to be edited after I get past my first three weeks but I am happy right now.
Clean and Storage: 4.5 stars
Cleaning this shaver is extremely easy. Stick it in the clean and charge station and hit start. It does the work for you. Plus it lubricates the shaver for you as well. One thing to keep in mind is that the shaver air dries after the cleaning so if you need to shave right away after cleaning you will have problems. I have not had any issues as time between shaving for me is usually 20 or more hours. Even if I shaved in the morning and needed a touch up at night I don't think there would be any issue. The shaver can be stored right in the cleaning station so that is good and it look nice with a pleasant blue color given off. Makes a nice night light for the occasional bathroom visit during the night. The only complaint I would have is that the AC/DC converter is quite long. This might fit under the design heading better but if you are like me and keep this on your bathroom counter for storage you will have a larger plug converter hanging out. Not a huge deal but for people that want a more clean look while not in use can be a issue.
Overall: 4.5 stars
Amazon does not allow half stars so 4 is what I rated this. I would recommend this shaver to all of my friends. While it might be a little expensive then some of the options out there it gets the job done well and comfortably. I would defiantly suggest spending a little more on a quality shaver then a cheap solution that eats up your face. This is a foil shaver so if you like rotary shavers more this would not be for you but everyone else should check this out.
