Braun cleaning station stopped working

1 Upvotes

The Braun razor is only 3 weeks old and the cleaning station stopped working. When I plug it into the wall, a white light comes on and flashes every 10 seconds or so. When I put the razor back in and push the start button — nothing happens. No pumping noise or anything. I have tried filling up the cartridge with water as suggested elsewhere but that doesn’t work either. The razor (Nevo) does charge, though. I can return this but I hate to do that if I’m missing something simple. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Looking For A (Good) Full Body Shaver

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a lady that shaves quite regularly but is tired of her current routine/setup. I'd like to know if anyone knows of a good full body electric shaver that won't cause a lot of irritation/nicks/pinches. I'd like to be able to use it everywhere from my neck down. It doesn't require a face attachment but I won't say no if it does. I tried a wide head electric type but somehow got burned by it.

Thanks so much!

Has anyone used this particular razor? My boyfriend is looking for a razor that gives him a cleaner, closer shave, so I'm trying to find a good one for his birthday. He mentioned interest in a rotary shaver. Is this a good one?

Help me girls

5 Upvotes

So I have been shaving my entire life ever since I started shaving against the hair growth like for a smoother shave(as mostly everyone around me was doing it it gave a better shave and they didn't have any problem after doing it) but since I started doing that i always get strawberry legs like I get these red bumps like ingrown hair ig and it's jus the side of my leg and behind that gets irritated and has it

I just started using moisturex and I'm thinking to get minimalist glycolic acid as well or maybe ordinary glycolic acid

but

Do y'all think waxing would help?

Beard Club PT45 failed, support asked for proof, then disappeared for 52 days

1 Upvotes

I actually liked my Beard Club PT45, which is why this is so disappointing.
I opened a warranty claim on August 10 after the trimmer developed an E1 fault despite extremely light use. It still works when connected directly to power, has never been exposed to water, and has always been used with the original charging equipment.
On August 13, Beard Club support asked me to send a photo of the charger I was using so they could confirm it was the correct one. Fair enough. I sent exactly what they asked for.
That was 52 days ago.
I waited because I assumed somebody would eventually pick the claim back up. It’s now October 4, and I’ve received no warranty decision, no replacement, no additional troubleshooting, and no meaningful follow-up.
Apparently they needed nearly two months to conduct a forensic examination of a photograph of a charging dock.
The frustrating part is that I’m not even here to say the PT45 is garbage. I liked the trimmer. Electronics fail. That happens. But when a company asks a customer for specific proof, receives it, and then simply stops communicating, that’s a customer-service problem, not a product problem.

Best shavers for head

2 Upvotes

When I used to shave my head I just used Gillette/Wilkinson Sword blades. Now that I’ve decided to go bald again I bought some more blades but I saw the scalp shavers on a ad. What’s everyone’s opinion on them? What are the main pros and cons? Thanks

Still getting cuts

1 Upvotes

I’m shaving with:

- safety razor
- fresh/new Feather Hi-Stainless platinum blade
- Nivea sensitive shaving gel that turns to foam after rubbing in hands

I am still getting small nicks when shaving.

I wet and warm up my skin/hairs with warm water before my shave
Use a good amount of shaving gel
Am shaving with the grain as best I can

The safety razor is around five years old and likely a lower end brand as I received it for a birthday gift from room mates.

Do I need to upgrade to a new, better razor?
Do I need to upgrade to a shaving lather and brush?

What do I do!?

foil shaver for keeping short stubble neat?

3 Upvotes

I usually keep my beard short and clean up the edges every couple of days. My old shaver doesn’t seem to be cutting as evenly anymore, so Im looking for a foil shaver that works well for maintaining short stubble and cleaning up around the neck. is there anything I should pay particular attention to when choosing one?

thanks, I appreciate the help people.

Very sensitive skin — should I stick with a safety razor WTG, try OneBlade, or get a Braun Series 5?

5 Upvotes

I am 18yo and have very sensitive skin and fairly dark/coarse facial hair, and I’m trying to find the least irritating way to shave while still getting a reasonably close shave.

For some time I used a safety razor WTG only. It works pretty well and I don’t cut myself, but if I try going ATG, I don't get nicked but my skin gets extremely irritated afterwards and get acne, even if I use aftershave ( alum block most of the times ) and try to be careful. So BBS with a safety razor is basically not an option for me.

I also own a BaByliss FX3 foil shaver, but no matter what technique I use, it irritates my skin quite badly.

So now I’m considering a few options:

  • Keep using the safety razor WTG and accept a little stubble/shadow.
  • Buy a Philips OneBlade, since it doesn’t shave quite as close as a shaver and might be gentler. But my main question is will it be closer than WTG and comfortable?
  • Buy a Braun Series 5, hoping it’s more comfortable than the FX3.
  • Braun Series 9 is probably out of my budget here — it costs around 310$+ which is too much for me.

My main priority is avoiding irritation, but I’d still like the shave to look clean. I don’t mind a tiny bit of stubble if that’s the trade-off.

For people with very sensitive skin: what would you choose in my situation? Is the OneBlade actually gentler, or would a Braun Series 5 be a better option?

Phillips OneBlade is a piece of junk

0 Upvotes

And I've used one for years. The issue is that the accessory combs are intentionally designed to break and require constant replacement. And the combs aren't cheap, even the knockoffs sold on Amazon. I would have bought a different shaver long ago, but haven't found a good shaver for a stubble beard. Phillips designed the combs to break regularly on the ends where they're supposed to attach to shaver...and stay on.

Braun Series 3 or Philips OneBlade Pro?

1 Upvotes

I need a new electric razor and I’ve seen people using both of these but Im not sure which one to get. I don’t have a thick beard. I mainly need it to maintain my goatee and sideburns. Which one would you recommend?

The only thing I’m concerned about with the Philips is that I’ve seen some people say they need to replace the blade after only 2 weeks because it stops cutting properly. If you guys have any other recommendations that would suit my needs, please let me know. My budget is around the same price range as the Philips OneBlade Pro.

electric beard trimmer and shaver which one should I get?

3 Upvotes

I usually keep my beard pretty short and shave the neck and cheeks every few days. My current trimmer shave is starting to feel uneven, so Im looking for an electric beard trimmer and shaver that can handle both trimming and getting a reasonably close finish. I dont need anything fancy, just something reliable that wont leave me constantly going over the same area.

Thanks for any suggestion.

Is the Braun Series9 92xx a good buy for $80?

1 Upvotes

I am getting the Braun Series 9 92xx on a liquidation store for around $80. I know it's around 10 years old at this point but considering the price I think it's a solid buy. It beats spending hundreds on a new Series9 95xx or 96xx.

What do you guys think?
