Home made Cleaning Solution for Braun Electric Shavers

Posted on by .

Anything that large scale industry does not have to make means smaller waste going out to the environment, so we are going to make our own cleaning solution for my Braun electric shaver.

The Braun shaver is one of the most highly rated and most advanced shavers available, according to trusted reviewers online.

Newer Braun’s come  with an auto charging – cleaning system which is called Clean & Renew system. With a simple touch of a button, the Braun shaver unit will be automatically hygienically cleaned, charged and lubricated. It also helps keep the blade in top condition to ensure an ultimate performance from every stroke.

On top of that, a regularly cleaned shaver retains optimal hygiene for a fresh shaving experience every time you use the shaver. It also prevents skin irritation by not allowing a place for nasty bacteria to live.

To be fair, buying the original Braun Syncro clean and renew refill packs won’t cost you much, and one cartridge could last for a month if used daily. But men being men, sometimes we love to do some unique stuff that would save us some money, and it helps the environment a little as well.

What we need:

  • Lemon Essential oils 4 0z
  • Isopropyl Alcohol 70% USP 473ml

We acknowledge Tyler, (the guy from the video above), who owns electric shaver guide. He knows his stuff well and contributes a lot when it comes to shaving. Braun 7 790cc is the best electric razor . It is easy and simple to use and it is Braun’s most advanced shaver giving closer shaves with little skin irritation. Most top review websites make this Braun shaver their no.1 choice as the best electric shaver of today. But it is only used for dry shaving.

About Braun’s Clean and Renew System Functions
