The manual gives no suggestion as how often you should clean or dry. What's best - use the cleaner after every shave or weekly or ?

Normally the charger/cleaner will tell you when to clean. It seems to between 4-5 shaves for me, but I have a dark heavy beard.

It has a sensor I think and tells you when it needs cleaning. You can also wash it off manually.

Related answer / question .. I do it weekly, but what I'm not sure ( maybe someone here is with a better reading interpretation from manual ) it's when I do need to change the charging base water on tank and how long the cleaning cartridge will last ..

The shaver will actually tell you when you need to clean it. i always clean it when it goes from 100% power to 40% power. That way, it seems to give me the best shave

I primarily use it when my skin is dry, but have also used it on hot humid days when it is impossible to have 'dry' skin after a shower. There is more pulling on the skin, but the resulting shave is acceptable.

Yes, the machine needs you to shave to work. No you can't use it more than recommended. You should only have to use it about 3 or so times on each part of your body.

Good question. My wife actually used it yesterday and said that it was better than her two shavers and also better than my Norelco's. She used it dry but you can also use it wet. She said that she recommends it. The nice thing about these shavers is that you have 30 to 60 days to try them out since it needs to get used to your skin.

I shave with feather blades. They last around 45 to 70 shaves. I remove the blade after use, rinse and dry it, then store it in its original wrapper soaked in mineral oil. One way to kill a blade quickly is to dry shave with it. Soak your unshaven face with a washcloth and hot soapy water prior to soaping up and shaving. This makes cutting stubble easier for the blade.

Panasonic allows you a choice: to use, or not use, the cleaning system. The base unit can be used merely as a charging station, or you can do away with it and use its cord directly in the razor for recharging (which may save you "sink countertop space"). You can also choose for the base unit to dry your razor after you clean it yourself under running water. You do not need to use a brush if the razor is cleaned after every shave: the razor has a "turbo" mode (hold down the power button for a couple of seconds) speeding up the blaze vibration which effectively removes debris buildup under running water. Both the self-cleaning mode and the do-it-yourself cleaning mode are simple and easily completed. Many people like the convenience of the self-cleaning system (and the costs are not exorbitant for replacement cartridges). Since this razor unit is frequently on sale for less than the cost of the unit without the self-cleaning system, it is a no-brainer to buy this one and you may find some of the options helpful.

Everybody has varying results. I'm average and shave everyday. I would get one shave after that a lot of tugging and pulling making it very uncomfortable. I ended up tossing mine and now use Feather. Get 3-4 comfortable shaves with Feather. But like I stated everyone will vary.

I use it after every shave. It not only cleans and charges the razor but the cleaning fluid is also acts as the lubricant for the blades. It gives the blades a longer life and you a better shave. This rwzir with the clean system us the best I've ever owned.

It varies by person. But I use this once a week and more often in summer when my legs are exposed. Waxing or chemical hair remover would be much better. This razor does not give a very clean shave.

I clean the blade thoroughly after each shave, and reverse the blade so that, the opposite side is used on an alternate basis. I use the blade for about 5 shaves. It is simply placed on the vanity top after each cleaning.

I take the cover off and use the small brush after every shave. I've had it a month and still haven't used the liquid cleaner yet.

You don't have to use it every time, but it does cut down on streaks, etc. I use just a wet rag for quick cleans, and usually follow it with a dry towel so it doesn't leave water marks. I use Cerama Bryte at least once a week, or if it gets really messy. Like right now, I have a starchy mess from a boil-over, I'll use CB to clean that up, and do the whole top while I'm at it.

We service/replace during the first three months. We now advise for people to use a different cleaning procedure. Removing the blades may be necessary for some people to thoroughly clean the inside, however we learned its better to primarily clean the shaver head by removing it from the shaver to run warm water over the blades and then let it dry. This will wash the hair out without having to remove blades.

I do it after every use (though i don't shave every day), it takes less than 30 seconds, and you can use liquid hand soap if you don't use a similar product for shaving.

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.

Works very well. Would recommend rinsing the razor with tap water after 3-4 uses, then using the jet clean for a more thorough cleaning and lubrication/charging. The Norelco cleaning solution is over-priced.
