Electric Shaver Maintenance

Simple cleaning routines performed on a regular basis help maintain a consistent quality of shave and maximise the cutting ability. Periodic replacement of ageing cutters gives your shaver a new lease of life.

Much of the advice may seem obvious but is included as we’ve serviced many shavers with clogged-up, greasy cutting assemblies in need of replacement or a good clean depending on severity.

This can be very easily avoided by simply removing the cutting head and blowing it out into a nearby bin or down the wash-basin to be rinsed away. This will ensure the shaver never gets into a complete state of neglect, no matter how much you dislike cleaning your shaver, and it only takes a matter of seconds. If you do this after every shave, or at least after every few shaves, you will avoid a troublesome build up of debris.

There are further steps you can take in keeping your shaving head in good shape.

Braun Shaver Spray is an excellent idea for all shavers: apply on a weekly schedule and it will both lubricate and de-grease the cutting blades. Immediately after using the spray the shave will feel smooth and sharp on your face. We recommend a bottle of Braun Shaver Spray, it will suit all models and is easy to apply. Combined with the blow-out method and your shaver cleaning-brush, this maintenance routine will be effective for any shaver.

When using your cleaning brush on a foil shaver we recommend removing the foil from the shaver and concentrating on the inner cutting blade area.

Be very careful if you brush around the foil as these are more delicate than many people give them credit. One of the most common cause of foil failure is due to dents in the storage or cleaning process.
