Shave counterclockwise to the direction your beard is growing, holding the razor at a straight 90° angle to your skin. To minimize skin irritation, avoid repeatedly shaving the same areas. Maintain consistent pressure for the best shave.

Rinse the shaver under hot running water. For enhanced cleaning, a small amount of regular liquid soap can be used. For optimal maintenance, occasionally apply a drop of oil to the cutter block.
How to Change the Battery
Steps for battery replacement:
- Take the trim head off and fold it down.
- Open the housing by removing the two screws at the front of the blade.
- Open the watertight interior assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits and drawbacks of a Braun razor?
The device features two silver semicircles labeled "plus" and "minus" below the power button, used to switch between three speed settings: sensitive to intensive. A slight depression behind the Braun logo on the handle serves to reset the device.
What does the red light on my Braun razor mean?
A red light indicates the battery needs recharging. You can get approximately five shaves from a charge that has been plugged in for about an hour. Shaving is not possible while the razor is plugged in.
How can I tell what model of Braun I have?
The model number is typically found on the front of the product, for example, under the LED on the Braun 3615. Some manufacturers, like Braun, also include a Type number on the back of the razor.

What do the numbers on a Braun razor stand for?
The Braun Series range (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) is organized by a numbering system that indicates increasing feature sets and shave quality as the series number increases.
My Braun shaver is blaring; why?
A beep sound indicates the shaver is detected in its station, and the charging process will begin instantly.
Can Braun replacement heads be switched?
While some models are compatible with multiple shavers, others are distinct. It is not recommended to exchange heads between different models.
Why won't my electric shaver function?
Check the battery level and recharge if low. If the shaver is unresponsive, check the electrical cable. Test switches and the motor as needed (refer to the Appliance Controls Fix-It Guide). Cleaning and lubricating the heads can improve performance.
How long should my Braun shaver be charged?
Typically, a full recharge takes two and a half hours. The shavers include a USB charging cord, allowing charging via any USB port, battery pack, or wall adapter with 5 volts or less.
How much time does a Braun shaver require to charge?
For up to 45 minutes of cordless shaving, a full recharge takes one hour. A short five-minute charge is sufficient for a single cordless shave.
