Maintaining and caring for your Braun shaver: prolonging its lifespan and performance

Braun shavers are synonymous with technology and precision, but to maintain their effectiveness and performance over time, proper maintenance is essential. Like everything, with great power comes great responsibility. In this article, we'll tell you how to properly care for the blades and battery, when it's time to replace the replacement parts, and why you can trust Electrotodo to keep your shaver looking like new.

How do Braun shaver blades work?

Braun shavers typically feature an oscillating blade system covered by a perforated metal foil. This foil guides the hair toward the internal blades, which cut it closely without damaging the skin. This system provides a close, smooth, and safe shave, ideal for everyday use.

Over time, however, the continuous friction of hair, skin and residue (such as sebum or cream residue) affects the sharpness of the blades and the effectiveness of the cutting system.

Blade maintenance: cleaning and replacement

To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended:

• Clean your shaver after each use : Most Braun models are waterproof, allowing you to easily rinse them under the tap. You can also use a small brush to remove residue.

• Lubricate the blades periodically : This reduces friction, prevents premature wear and improves performance.

• Change the cutting head every 12 to 18 months , depending on use. If you notice that your shave is less close, slower, or you have to go over the same area more often, it's probably time to replace the blades.

Why do blades wear out? Factors that influence

Blade wear is inevitable, but some factors can accelerate it:

• Frequency of use : The more you use the razor, the faster the blades wear down.

• Hair type : Thicker or denser hair causes more friction and wear. So, whether we like it or not, there's usually a clear correlation: the older the shaver, the faster Braun blades wear down.

• Lack of cleaning or lubrication : Accumulated residue makes cutting difficult and causes overheating.

• Use on unprotected dry skin : Increases friction and can damage both the blades and the foil.

Battery maintenance: tips to extend its life

Modern Braun shavers feature rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which offer good battery life and fast charging. To take care of the battery:

• Avoid frequent full discharges : It's not necessary to let it run dry before recharging. In fact, it's not recommended.

• Do not leave the shaver plugged in unnecessarily : Once charged, unplug it.

• Store in a cool, dry place : Excessive heat can damage the battery.

• Charge it at least once a month if you don't use it regularly : This will prevent the battery from degrading due to inactivity.
