Braun brand shavers are electronic razors meant for men that include an automatic cleaning system that uses a specialised cleaning fluid to clean the razor on a regular basis. We have a fantastic range of quality products available at our main site, including domestic spares, shaver spares, health care products and much more! Water from my reverse osmosis is around 10ppm, so using distilled water for a diy solution would be a must.
There is no persuasive evidence that isopropanol or ethanol is more aggressive than the other on plastic, paint or rubber, so I see both options as interchangeable. I personally use isopropyl alcohol (that’s what I could get at the time) and everything seems fine so far; but given the choice, I think you should opt for ethanol. It’s still a bit unclear to me why using the larger opening when filling it would be preferred; if it helps clean the filter, then yes, it definitely makes sense.Unlike other electric shaver brands that use detergent-based solutions, Braun’s cleaning fluid contains alcohol (ethanol or isopropanol). Moreover, with DIY solutions, the lubricating properties of the mix are almost impossible to get right.
If you leave the shaver in the station and it’s still dripping wet the next day, the drain hole may be partially clogged. But, as I already mentioned, the problem was that the head was not completely dry and there was a greasy stain on the plastic. And 70% alcohol in contact with the shaving head during the Braun cleaning cycle will perfectly sanitize your shaver. Fill the container with tap water through the small hole, put the plastic cap back on (or cover both openings with the palm of your hand) and shake it vigorously. The shaving head of my Braun shavers was perfectly clean provided the solution was not overly contaminated with fine hair (that’s a problem with any cleaning solution).
It was only after adding around 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt that the red light went out and ckeaning proceeded. The fragrance is again very similar to my nose, but even more potent than the Lemon variation from CCRREFILLS. Known primarily for descalers and water filters, Wessper also makes this universal shaver cleaning solution that works with all shaver brands. As for how well it lubricates the blades, I would place Wessper Shavemax slightly below the two options above. I have a Series 8 and the sensor is definitely looking for the conductivity so the baking soda is essential.
The essential oil is taken up by lung cells and apparently can not be metabolized, and stays permanently in the cells. I simply remove it from the shaver, gently tap the plastic part on the sink to remove most of the hair strands, then snap it back on the shaver and let the station do the work. And I totally agree, coming up with a solution that also lubricates the blades effectively without other compromises is the main hurdle here. I am interested in the Cleanerist product you reviewed as the others all require adding alcohol to the solution which I don’t want to bother with.
The hygiene meter on all Braun shavers, not just the Series 7, is just a basic timer that resets after every automatic cleaning. While Braun’s very own solution contains either one or the other, it would probably be safer to stick to using Ethanol. I didn’t try that particular brand, however, I did use something similar that is quite popular here in Europe. There is some evidence that food grade mineral oil can cause pneumonia when inhaled over a long period of time. Are those for different series or can the same shaver series have either Isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol?
