You absolutely do not need to replace the head every six months. Realistically, you can get a couple of years out of it. I have very thick, very dense stubble, and I have to shave twice per day, at a minimum. The head cuts fine after years of use. I’m fact, when I finally replace it, the difference is almost indiscernible.

FYI, dont fill the cartridge with water, You can buy large bottles of the refill cleaner and refill it that way (Will save a TON of money!!!). Just make sure you clean out all the cut hairs first. There are several videos that explain how to do it.

I have found that the cleaning solution can be topped off or in a pinch replaced with Williams Lectric shave. It is alcohol based, cleans well and doesn’t give off any foul odors

My advice is just buy one

Do NOT use the cleaning station only once a month, and DO NOT wait until the solution is as filthy as in this video before you replace it. I use my cleaning station after two or three shaves. The blades work better that way. You can also make your own cleaning solution with isopropol alcohol, maybe mixed with some distilled water, and essential oils (6-8 drops per filling of container). Works fine, at a tiny fraction of the cost of the refills from Braun.

Can anybody tell me when does foil replacement symbol show? I’m using 9pro an wondering when I’m supposed to see it, when power on an it stays on or flashes? Cheers

Hi there, I haven't. However, if you have the same cleaning station as I do, the solution has oil in it to lubricate the shaver at the same time.

You should use the cleaner more often since it cleans and lubricates. That lubrication helps keep the razor head lasting longer. I would suggest using the cleaner at least once a week. Thanks for sharing the video. 😎👍

Thanks for the video. Such a random question, but what's the song you used in the background?

sir the trimmer stopped working, please advise, as the foil head is working fine

When I put my shaver into the cleaning station it doesn't show any of the 3 water drop lights , does anyone else have this issue ?

There is a timer on the shaver that tells you when you should replace the foil/cutter. When you put on a new foil/cutter, you need to reset the timer.

Cleaning it only once a month is far too infrequent. It should be cleaned every time it needs to be charged which is once a week in my case.

How does it compare to other shavers that you've had?

I bought the Braun S9 Pro a couple of months ago. Loved the shaving experience. However after each shave it indicated the water drops to clean it in the station. No matter how much I clean it, the water drop only disappears after I use the cleaning station. Exchanged it to a new one because the shop said it must be faulty. The new one 1st shave out of the box for the same. And then after the clean I shaved in 2 days. Again the same result. No matter how much I clean it, the indicator only goes away after cleaning in the station. Is this normal? I sadly returned the 2nd unit and got the money back. But really loved the shaver. Want to clarify this. So I can buy this again.

I rinse my cutting head out under hot running water every time I use it & let it air dry after gently bouncing it on a dry hand towel. I only use the cleaning station when it needs to be recharged, which is typically every 5 weeks or so. After charging it in the cleaning station I replace the cap on the tank to help seal it and reduce the evaporation of the solution. This way I can normally get 6 months out of each Clean & Renew cartridge. I do occasionally use compressed air to clean the head & razor also. I just added a new Series 9 Pro head (94M) to my wish list on Amazon after reading reviews about how much better it shaves than with the original 92S head. The original head lasted about 15-16 months and my Braun is a little over 2 years old so it will soon be time to replace the head again.

If you don't have a cleaning station, you'll need to oil them but if you do have cleaning station the oil is already in the cleaning station's solution. However, If you use cleaning station solutions once a week, dry shave, and only rinse under the tap with water after shaving and nothing else, you can get away with oiling it every two days, but if you wet shave with foam, you will need to oil it every time you finish because foam dries the blade.If you clean it with soap, in the tap it will need to be oiled every time afterwords too Oil is essential because it extends the life of the blade, keeps it cutting smoothly, and prevents it from overheating and Oiling can also reduce skin irritation .Any type of hair clippers oil will do, such as whals hair clippers oil or bruan oil, but never use wd40 or olive oil, which clogs and destroys the shaver. I say this because I've seen some idiots say they use WD40 or olive oil and that is the worst thing someone can do.

Why do you still manually clean it when there is cleaning station? That seems unnecessary

1.Use the cleaning station EVERY TIME you've finished shaving. 2. Do not use the brush on the foil. You risk damaging the foil. 3. The foil should be replaced every 18 months approximately. 4. Don't fill the cartridge with anything other than the recommended solution. I got all this by READING THE INSTRUCTIONS.

cleaning stations are a gimmick. Just wash it with soapy water. You replace the blade every 1.5 years anyways.

People put water in these???? You can put rubbing alcohol in it once but this is still not great especially if it is very filled with stubble. The rubbing alcohol 70% no more, will disinfect and clean. However lubrication will not be great, so don't do this much rather only in a pinch.
