This works better than PERFECT ... FELLOWES 99790 Air Duster, buy it here on Amazon. I have been using it for years on my Braun 7526.

I've had an activator for about two years. You can get a gallon can of DN Alcohol at Ace Hardware for about ten bucks. I'm about halfway through my second gallon. Rinse out the reservoir with ordinary tap water and let air dry. I rotate them - one in use, one drying. Pour 1/2 cup of the DN Alcohol, and add 2t of lemon extract. It's just like the commercial solution! Good luck.

the solution in the catridge is SD40 alcohol from what I can tell. I'm going to go buy a bottle of denatured alcohol on the way home tonight as mine is about empty.

I believe the cleaning solution works in all Braun shavers cleaners. I have an older razor that uses these cleaning cartridges. My son bought a new Braun shavers about 6 months ago and it uses the same cartridges.

Only problem I've had with these is that the battery life more of less sucks. About 5 decent shaves for me. Braun lasted considerably longer. As an aside, I've recently tried shaving with this dry. Aside from the fact that it tends to heat up rather quickly, it works great. I use a spray that cools it down and lubes it when shaving dry, though. Just bought another one of these for my brother when it was a Gold Box Deal the other day for $105 !!!

all of the braun series use the same cleaner renew packs, from the first series to the new series. They will work it's just getting them to last longer, keep it away from everything around water and that seems to work best.

My husband said he uses the cleaning system because it was a gift, but he never had a cleaning system before, never needed one, and would not waste his money buying one. The little brush with his other Braun shaver worked fine!

Go to Ebay & search for the Braun Head you need. There are many for sale at a good price. As far as cleaning liquid is concerned. I buy a quart of denatured alcohol (hardware store), dump out the old liquid when the cleaner low light comes on, rinse out the container with water, shack out excess water & fill it to almost the top with from the can of denatured alcohol. Been doing this for more years then I can to remember and since the cleaners are originally filled with denatured alcohol, you will save a ton of money. Erv

I made the same mistake. No, the two-piece cutter/foil will not work with your Braun razor. You need the one-piece Series 7 (70S) cartridge.

I've never tried. Not to happy with skrapr it doesn't clean very well. Went back to using a razor blade.

Where did you find this article about ingrown hairs and this razor? Cuz that is mainly why i am purchasing this razor. I will be more than happy to let you know how it does on mine once i get it.

I'm sorry I don't know since I just got mine as well. But good question, please post when you have an answer. I really don't see why we would need a replacement if you alcohol (cleanse) your skin before each use.

I think that all the Braun shavers would be okay with the cleaner. It says on the side of the Clean & Renew box that it is for ALL Braun systems. I've used it for years and it keeps my 7000 series razor clean, and my razor is at least 7 or 8 years old.

I personally don't think that the cleanser works very well. I have been using 99% rubbing alcohol, and lint free nail pads or paper towels. Works much better!!!

this post looks fake. (i will NEVER have to use it again! im sincerely sold with my Braun 790cc and i will continue to re-purchase and upgrade to the latest flagship model shavers as they are newly offered by Braun.) c'mon

My opinion is No. I had the Clean and Renew system on my last Braun razor. It was convenient and made the razor smell nice, but the cleaning cartridges cost money every month. I'm finding it extremely easy to use the tap, brush and rinse in sink method.

Remembering that this is a travel shaver or for a quick shave on the go, I think the Braun is terrific for mustache, beard and sideburn trims. I use a razor to supplement when I want a real close shave. I have purchased three of these Brauns already, one as a gift and one as a backup...but still getting good use from the original after two years of frequent usage.

Yes, it does give a clean shave - maybe not quite like 'just like razors' but close. Probably depends to some extent how heavy your beard is to start with. Certainly better than my old Braun.
