This fast and easy cleaner is perfect for removing stubum residue, bacteria, hairs and unpleasant odors. You would need 50% water for use in Panasonic and Philips stations and no dilution for Braun stations like you’ve mentioned.

I have a Series 8 and the sensor is definitely looking for the conductivity so the baking soda is essential.I have found the information on your site to be incredibly informative, and I would appreciate any opinions you may have on the Shaver Shebang product. Once you’ve finished shaving, remove the cassette and very gently tap it on the edge of your sink or counter-top. We had to follow a specification to use plastic pressure-put spray bottles – where you apply pressure to then bottle by pumping in, after echo the pressure in the bottle powered the spray.

I do think that after some time it would be beneficial to also run your shaver through an automatic cleaning cycle. In fact, their design was the first popular range of self cleaning shavers to be adopted by UK consumers and seemingly the inspiration for other manufacturers to develop similar offerings. This is most likely due to the fact that silicone oil of a given viscosity is thinner than mineral oils. After the drying cycle, the head of the Series 9 was still dripping wet and I had to pat it dry with a paper towel and let it air dry for a few more hours. I didn’t know there’s a Shaver Shebang alternative for Panasonic detergent (their Braun solution is quite popular).High energy lubricants maintain your shavers blades and help reduce friction, which may cause skin irritation. Unlike the Braun, which I have owned for many years, the Panasonic cleaning station uses a container that you fill to a line with water then you add a sachet of solution. With 70% alcohol, the head would still be damp and I would need to detach it from the shaver and let everything air dry. That’s mainly because we, the end-users, have limited access to certain ingredients (like Isotridecyl Stearate or ethoxylated Glycerin).

I totally get you as I also prefer not to bother with alcohol, but at least for now, there aren’t any available in the USA. Braun brand shavers are electronic razors meant for men that include an automatic cleaning system that uses a specialised cleaning fluid to clean the razor on a regular basis. You can then rinse the head and guard in cold water and allow to air-dry for a minimum of 10 minutes before reassembling back to your razor. The CCR REFILLS concentrate contains food-grade mineral oil as a lubricant and it does the job really well.Its not like my old cleaning station where I could put the razor in and start a clean straight away but I can live with this as it is.

The cleaning station has now started working but only after a long time of the lights cycling though constantly,then all lights go out. Jatop is less than 75% alcohol, and almost all of the negative reviews are related to the problem of drying out the next day. Absolutely — cleaning (regardless of the solution or even manually with water and soap) + an effective spray lubricant will be better than even the original Braun solution. The drop in performance will actually be very gradual and you probably won’t be able to pinpoint a specific moment.I know essential oils may not be effective at lubrication but personally I hate an oily residue or feeling from the shaver and likewise hate it still wet from not drying. It was similar that the head is a little less hot after the Braun solution, but the difference is not so big that it’s clearly felt tactilely.
