Can this razor be rinsed with water? Do you have to use the cleaning station or can you just rinse it off with hot water?

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.

Why what?Why use alcohol? Because it usually does not have sediments to leave behind (unlike tap water). Sediments supposedly make razors feel rough and dull, even when they're not. Imagine a large blade - now imagine a large blade with barnacles all over it. Like that.Why not use the brush? Because the blades are sharp but fragile, and using a brush much cause them to wear faster.

The instructions say not to use water, just to use the brush when cleaning manually.

Water contains hard sediments, which is (according to some) what makes a normal razor feel scratchy and dull. Sometimes it's not the razor being dull, it's the buildup of sediments that then scratch and irritate the skin and make you throw away the blade.I'd assume the same could happen with this razor. Use alcohol if anything.

however, when cleaning manually the manual states not to use the brush included to clean the blades or cutter block, as it may damage the blades and effect future use. instead, just pop up the blade and turn on razor for 5-10 seconds to clear out the stubbles, then clean off body of razor with brush.

I've never washed/rinsed it with water. I use my fingers to remove the hair from the brush. It's quick and easy.

Yes, but you really need to clean razor very good afterwards, each time!!!!

We now advise for people to try a different cleaning procedure. Removing the blades may be necessary for some people to thoroughly clean the inside, however we have learned its better to primarily clean the shaver head attachment by pulling it out from the shaver base to run warm water over the surface of the blades and then let it dry. This will wash the hair out without having to remove blades.

I don't have any problem rinsing my razor, but I also use shaving cream that doesn't foam. Regardless, I get enough water pressure from the showerhead that I still don't think that would be an issue.

Yes I have been using both. No problem. Just blow out the razor before you clean it to prolong the use.

I have never used water to clean my razor. Always just open each head and use a brush.

I don't use the cleaner at all. I rinse the shaver with water, put some liquid soap on the blades, run the shaver in the "ultra sonic" mode, and then rinse again. It works great.

Not necessary. You can clean it using the Sonic Vibrating Cleaning Mode, which takes just a minute to clean it. I use the cleaner liquid alternatively and it charges as well as cleans at the same time. You can also leave the shaver in the charger as it doesn't over charge.

Instructions say "Use only in dry condition". Shaver head can be rinsed under hot running water & let the shaver run for a few seconds then remove the foil & cutter cassette and let it dry. Braun suggests that you always shave before washing your face.

It is my understanding that the blades can be rinsed with water - they are supposed to be coated with Titanium. The entire trimmer though is NOT waterproof so you cannot use it in the shower. The instructions with mine indicate that the beard needs to be dry. Hope this helps...

No, while it can be rinsed with water for cleaning while turned off, it is not to be used with shaving cream.

Yes you can shave in the shower and rinse it, the shaver is a sealed unit and is completely waterproof. Wonderful shaver, cleaning it is AWESOME, just drop a small amount of liquid soap in the head (on the foil) with some water and turn it on until it foams, then remove the foil (by pushing the to buttons on the side of the head) and rinse, takes a person less than a minute. Hope this helps Sheldon

Yes it can. I have the same razor with the cleaning station and the manual told me that it should be left in the hydrocleaner~charger while not in use. I've had this a while and haven't seem a decrease in battery power over the months due to leaving it in the charger for sometimes days. I just use my shaver every three or four days (I'm the type that doesn't need a close shave 24X7), put it back in the cleaner~charger, and leave it until next time. There isn't a difference between this shaver and mine except for the hydroclean~charger station

You don't HAVE to use shaving cream, it just CAN be used with it. I have this (got it from the same Gold Box deal - spontaneous buy) and LOVE it. Best shave I've ever gotten, electric or blade. I use it in the shower, but have used it dry. I happen to think it gives a better shave when wet, but that's been my experience in general - I always shave wet. I'm going to give it a try with shaving cream now that I've had a few months without, curious to see if it actually makes a difference or not.

I wash mine in hot water, no soap. I make sure not to get any water into the slot for the blade. Wipe off the excess water and place flat on my counter. I tried to hang it up, the knife fell out. So that's how I do it

Hello, Sorry, this model is not waterproof. Only the blades can be removed and washed under water. No shaving in the shower for this model!
