About this deal
The 93xx and 94xx use the same cleaning station with 3 cleaning modes and a fan that dries the shaving head. And even though the shaving head is fixed, the three cutters move independently very smoothly and have a great range of motion, which more than makes up for the lack of any flexing system. Braun also included a cleaning brush in the box, so that can also be used, but only for the inner area of the cassette.
I also think the Series 6 would be a better pick over the Series 5 50 if you can get a good deal on one. As you can see, there are a lot more models in the ProSkin line, but some of them are country-specific. We also have the Braun Series 8 84xx models that use the same station as the 93xx Series 9 and 94xx Series 9 Pro. Further reading: for a very detailed and comprehensive comparison, you can check out my Series 9 guide.The 3000s doesn’t have a hair trimmer, but that may be a smaller drawback for some users compared to not being able to use it with the cord plugged in.
Also, if it has a protective cap, try to only use it while traveling or when there’s a real risk of damaging the foils. Braun kept the Series 7 name as it had a lot of equity and it was highly popular among electric shaving enthusiasts. Precisely, the ProSkin models come with a better shaving head that’s gentler to the skin and also better at catching flat-lying hairs.For those situations, and also if you just want a more powerful shaver that’s more effective, especially with difficult hair and you have the budget for it, check out the next option.
Interestingly, the Series 6 station is the same one shipped with the Series 7 70 and as we saw above, it will even work with the Series 5 50 regardless of the shaver model. These models also include a ProComfort massage head that must be fitted to the shaver (instead of the foil head).As you can see from the table above, with the Series 5 50, Braun focused on providing several accessories that may or may not be of much use to you depending on what you prefer.
Apart from the points mentioned above, there is absolutely no difference between them, they use the same shaving block and the performance will be the same.
Bonus tip: after cleaning your shaver with water, remove the cassette and let it air dry completely before putting it back on the shaver. For most users, these will shave faster and with less effort compared to other less capable Braun models like the Series 7 360 Flex and the ones below. Because the basic Series 3 and the Proskin are two distinct sub-families, I will present them in two separate comparison tables.
