 Salvation for My Coarse Hair June 2, 2009

Salvation for My Coarse Hair
I have just purchased this product and it is great. I have been using it for about two weeks now, but I will update this review as time goes on. I was initially going to purchase the previous version, but I held off and I am happy I did. Before using the shaver, I went out and bought Lectric Shave by Williams as many other users have mentioned.
The shaver comes with everything you need to get started. It took about 2 hours to completely charge. I have looked into an additional plastic cap for the head while in the travel case, which would run about $10, but it is not necessary. Just make sure to be careful of the head, and you are fine. I have resolved to clean the shaver 2-3 times a week, so save a bit on the cleaning solution. Using a bit of water and the provided brush cleans it up just fine while away from the base.
The shaver feels solid in your hand and results in a good to great shave. I usually keep the swivel head locked or nearly locked, but I have been experimenting with it. I have very coarse hair, thus a razor would be best. However, I was not blessed with clear skin and thus shaving traditionally has been very painful. I have experienced minimal shaver burn as a result of the Lectric pre-Shave. It is a bit strong smelling, but it adds a bit of glide for the shaver when shaving. To my current experience, it does not clog pores, as it gets a bit greasy but then dries out as it is alcohol based. After I shave, I usually then wash my face with a cleanser and apply cream.
The side burn trimmer is also great. It is at a 90 degree angle, but I have to say it is very useful and has great results.
So far, I am very pleased with my purchase. I will update this post with more information after I have owned this shaver for a longer period of time.
Rating: I really would like to give the 570cc 4.5 stars. It is not the best shave you could ever get, it takes a couple passes (both are expected with this type product), and it does not come with a protective head cap cover, only a travel case.
Update: After using the shaver for a couple of months, I can definitely say, BUY THIS PRODUCT. As expected, my skin has become used to the shaving...both with and without pre-shave. The battery still holds a charge and with using the cleaning function once a week it has been great. Walmart has the cleaning cartridges on sale, if not Amazon has a great price.
Update 2: Been over a year now, still love it. I use it once or twice a day and it keeps up. I usually charge it every two or three weeks when it goes in for its deep clean. I am going to buy a new foil/blades/etc. Not much else other than how happy I am with this product. It basically took a problem, resolved it, and has me good looking in the mix. Decided to test the goatee and it works great to trim it up nice and clean. That's all folks
Best electric razor I've used May 21, 2009

I've had this razor for nearly 2 months now. Before buying it, I was concerned I'd be wasting my money on yet another electric razor. In the past, I've used both rotary and foil electric razors. Never have I had one that performed as well as the Braun 5 570cc. I use it every day, and every day I am amazed at how smooth my face is after shaving without any irritation whatsoever. Like it was suggested here, I clean my shaver daily using just hot water. Then once a week I use the cleaning system. The best part of the cleaning system is indeed how fresh smelling the razor gets. It's like a brand new shaver each week -- and always a close shave.
Great electric shaver May 16, 2009

Simply put this is the best electric shaver I have ever used, I am very happy with this purchase. This shaver even performs well without the use of a pre-shave prep product that i always needed to use with other electric shavers. The cleaning/charging base works great!! To save money re-cap the cleaning solution between cleanings, this will help with the natural evaporation that will take place, due to its high alcohol content.
Shaves as close as a blade - Braun Series 5 570CC May 19, 2009

I have owned 4 different Braun Electric Razors over the years. The Braun Series 5 570cc and its unique cutter and foil system cut as close as a blade. It is an outstanding electic razor.
Very Nice, Has Improved December 9, 2009

I bought this at Target for about $[...] after rebate.
I am upgrading from a Braun 7526 and this shaver has definitely improved over the past few years. The razor is very light it seems compared to the older one but feels well built. The shave is very smooth with no irritation at all. The sideburn trimmer is well placed, on the back of the razor and extends far enough from the razor to be very useful.
Yes the razor is a lot smaller or at least narrower than older models but this ends up really helping with ergonomics. You can almost hold the razor in your fingertips, like a pen or other precision instrument, especially with it being fairly light.
One of the best improvements over the older model I had is that charging in the base is SEPARATE from cleaning. On my 7526, if you wanted to charge in the base, you had to start a cleaning cycle. On this model you just drop it in the base and it'll charge. If you want to start a cleaning cycle, make sure you have a cleaning cartridge installed, then just press the "clean" button.
The razor comes with a semi-hard case that fits snugly around the razor for travel. As someone else mentioned it does not come with a plastic cap for the foil but the one from my 7526 fits just fine.
It might seem like a lot of money, but considering what cheap razors do to your face, the face that you and your wife or girlfriend will have to live with for the rest of your lives, its worth it.
