Product Information

I know essential oils may not be effective at lubrication but personally I hate an oily residue or feeling from the shaver and likewise hate it still wet from not drying. The 40 in SD – Alcohol 40 – B (the type used by Braun) doesn’t have anything to do with the concentration. I personally use isopropyl alcohol (that’s what I could get at the time) and everything seems fine so far; but given the choice, I think you should opt for ethanol. I also added a pinch of salt and it worked excellent, solving the problem of low electrical conductivity. On the other hand, the lubricating properties of glycerin are widely known and it is (along with Isotridecyl Stearate) that Braun uses for this purpose.

When holding a new assembly up to the light you cannot see through the center of the foil cutter block slides whereas after they have dissolved there is a perfect square opening allowing light through. That’s right, this versatile cleaning fluid will work not only with Braun CC stations, but with Panasonic and Philips cleaning systems as well. 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.Thank you for the tips on how to get it, I will try to source it again as for me it has been a staple for many years. Also, when the alcohol evaporates from the shaving head, any substances that are left behind are most likely in quantities so small that they couldn’t cause any harm.

For example, rubbing alcohol is used as an antiseptic agent and can be applied to the skin and even on opened wounds. I do have food grade polypropylene glycol and vegetable glycerin available however I did not want to add too many things to start? But, it is doubtful that this advantage will be significant in terms of cleaning and disinfection (spoiler: but not lubrication). Make sure to remove the liquid through the small opening as the large one contains a very fine mesh filter and the hair clippings won’t get through. Low viscosity silicone oil works better and it’s definitely preferred for quick and easy manual lubrication (e.However, Braun’s head start has allowed them to iterate their design more times than the competition, arriving at today’s well evolved product, benefiting from the expertise and feedback from the versions that came before it. I am not by any means an expert in this area, but I think they are only legally required to list the alcohol and not the rest. The OEM solution probably has a slightly higher % alcohol and slightly less glycerin than the recipe I used in my testing. That’s why I tend to recommend the ready-made solutions like the one in this article and have been hesitant at posting a DIY solution.
