3. Identifying Your Shaver Type Number

To ensure you have the correct replacement part, it is crucial to identify your specific Braun shaver's type number. This number is a four-digit code, typically starting with '5', and is distinct from the series number (e.g., Series 7 or Series 9).

The location of the type number varies by model:

  • Newer Models: Often found by sliding up the trimmer on the back of the shaver. The number will be revealed in the track.
  • Other Models: May be located under the shaving head once it is removed, or imprinted on the bottom or back of the shaver handle.

Due to small print and potential wear, good lighting and magnification may be necessary to read the type number accurately.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning of your foil and cutter block is essential to maintain hygiene, prevent bacterial growth, and ensure optimal shaving performance and longevity of the replacement part.

Cleaning Recommendations:

  • Daily Cleaning: After each shave, remove the foil and cutter block. Tap out any loose hair and rinse the head under warm running water. Allow to air dry completely before reattaching.
  • Deep Cleaning: Periodically, use a cleaning brush (often included with your shaver) to remove stubborn hair particles. For shavers designed for wet & dry use, a cleaning solution or soap can be used as per your shaver's specific manual.
  • Lubrication: Refer to your shaver's original manual for specific lubrication instructions, if applicable.

Braun recommends cleaning the foil and cutter block regularly.
