Braun Clean and Renew Electric Shaver Cleaning Cartridges, Hygienically Cleans, Removing Residual Hair & Skin Particles, 5+1 Pack, Lemon Fresh

Product Information

You are absolutely right about the two generations of Panasonic stations, they are very different, although they have similar features. I have noticed several times that mineral oil lubrication and post-treatment with Andis 5in1 doesn’t work as well as just Andis spraying.

The SHaver Shebang cleaner concentrate definitely doesn’t provide enough lubrication, so you’ll need to oil the blades yourself or use a spray lubricant for electric shavers. I notice from the SDS sheet above that the solvent is not IPA (iso propyl alcohol or propan-2-ol) but rather propan-1-ol. Isopropyl alcohol could potentially dissolve the shavers plastics and gaskets, so I would not recommend using anything but ethyl alcohol (same as in Braun’s OEM cleaning fluid). Both have pros and cons and in my opinion you should just go for the one that makes more sense for your needs and ignore the hype. I am yet to see one disintegrating even after repeated use, although in time it could get clogged or it can even tear.But it’s important to make sure that it’s completely dissolved before pouring it into the tray of your station. An automatic cleaning station is definitely nice to have as it takes complete care of cleaning and lubricating your shaver. Isotridecyl Stearate is extremely difficult to get, I also did not find glycerin in ethoxylated form. I worked out the strongest isopropyl alcohol that can be used, if it is too weak it wont evaporate off dry by the next use and if too strong my series 9 cleaning station shows empty.

B) I am still concerned to switch over to Panasonic after reading you other article on it, was wondering if anyone has told you their experience of switching brands after prolonged use and shaving habits. Your resource has transformed a simple interest into a passion for these technological things, a passion that my wallet pretty feals (I’ll send you an invoice, lol). I don’t sure, but I’m guessing that we need surfactants in the composition so that any lubricant does not remain on the plastic parts of the shaving head. The innovative Braun cleaning solution keeps your blades in top condition, for a shaver that feels like new every day.I found it strange that when using the Pulsonic head, there was no difference between the OEM and the homemade solution. I tried to replicate your findings by comparing two Series 9 cassettes, a new one and one that has been constantly cleaned in the station using isopropyl alcohol and the CCRRefills concentrate.
