Operating the Shaver
The Braun Series 6-61 R1000s is designed for both dry and wet shaving, offering flexibility and comfort.
Shaving Tips
- For best results, shave before washing your face.
- Hold the shaver at a right angle (90°) to your skin.
- Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of beard growth.
- Apply gentle pressure; the SensoFlex head and SensoFoil blades are designed to adapt to your facial contours with minimal pressure.

SensoFlex Head and AutoSense Technology
The SensoFlex head is dermatologically tested and designed to minimize pressure on sensitive skin by adapting to your facial contours. The integrated AutoSense Technology reads your beard density and adjusts the motor power accordingly, ensuring an efficient shave even on dense beards.

Wet & Dry Use
Your shaver is 100% waterproof and can be used for a refreshing wet shave with foam or gel, or even in the shower. Always ensure the shaver is disconnected from the power supply when used with water.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your shaver.
Cleaning Under Running Water
- Switch on the shaver.
- Rinse the shaver head under hot running water until all residue is removed.
- For a more thorough cleaning, you can use liquid soap.
- Switch off the shaver and remove the shaving head.
- Tap out any excess water and allow the shaver head to air dry completely.
Cleaning with the Brush
Use the provided cleaning brush to remove stubborn hair particles from the shaver head. Do not use the brush on the foil itself, as this may damage it.
EasyClick System
The EasyClick system allows for quick and easy attachment and detachment of different shaver heads and accessories. To change an attachment:
- Ensure the shaver is switched off.
- Grip the shaving head and pull it upwards to detach.
- Align the desired EasyClick attachment with the shaver body and press down until it clicks into place.
