Braun Clean & Renew Refill Cartridges CCR, Replacement Shaver Cleaner Solution for Clean&Charge Cleaning System, Pack of 6

I’ve owned a TON of electric razors: Panasonic Arc 5, Arc 6, Braun Series 9, Phillips i9000 Ultra Prestige (and maybe a few more). I’ve used cleaning solution from Panasonic and Phillips over the years but I’ve found Braun’s is the very best! I just bought a Braun Nevo and it really does a great job of cleaning my new razor. Why do I say that? Because I love how squeaky clean my razor is (and slightly oiled). I also like the smell of the cleaner (lemon fresh). I have a clean razor every morning or whenever I need it. I wish they sold a spray version that I could take with me when I travel/vacation. I’ve tried cleaning just with water then using oil (Wahl makes a good clipper oil) but it’s just not the same. And water and oil doesn’t sanitize your razor - only cleans and lubricates. This contains alcohol so your razor is germ free - effective at eliminating germs, ingrown hairs and break outs.

These are only about $.50 more each than an aftermarket product and well worth it. I had previously bought a aftermarket product to save some money, but it had a scent in it that would not go away and could not be washed off for hours .

Great to use keep the shaver clean.

It either results in a scene reminiscent of a horror movie with water splashing everywhere, or a mystery where missing remnants of hair show up in unlikely spots. But that’s when our hero, the CCR, strides in like a smooth Hollywood celebrity stealing the show. This game-changer allows you to clean your shaver without turning your bathroom into a watery battlefield. The Braun CCR comes in a pack of 6 - because, dear friends, cleanliness loves company!

Say goodbye to messy manual cleaning and start your day with a squeaky clean, lemon-scented shaver. Be warned, there may be moments of extreme satisfaction!

I have been using Braun shavers for over 25 years and have had various iterations of the cleaning stations that come with them. OEM Braun cleaning refill cartridges are pricey at over $5 each, so I've dabbled with a couple of the DIY solution additives available on Amazon. They are dramatically cheaper and do an OK job, but are absolutely not the same solution formula as the genuine Brauns, nor do I find they clean quite as well, despite their claims. I've found some of the tea tree oil varieties also leave a slight residue on the shaver head after a while that needs to be washed off with soap and water. The Braun cartridges seem to clean the best with the least amount of residue, however, they do not last very long. Being a nerd, I tracked my usage in a spreadsheet to see how long they typically last, and you will absolutely not get 2 months out of a single cartridge unless you only use it every 3rd day. Of the last 6 cartridges I've tracked, I typically got 24-26 cleanings (~3.5 weeks) if used every day. I've read claims that daily evaporation makes a big difference and that cleaning every day was unnecessary, so I experimented with one cartridge where I only used it every other day and took it out and capped it after each cleaning (ambient temps in the low 60s); I found it a real nuisance and negates the convenience of the cleaning station to drop it in, push the button, and walk away until your next shave. Even with this tedious routine, I only got 21 cleanings over 6 weeks (42 days exactly) and there was some shaved hair residue starting to accumulate in the shaver head. Simply not worth the hassle in my opinion. One last thing to note, you will only use about 2/3 of the cartridge capacity until the Charge & Renew station requires you to insert a replacement. I measured those 6 cartridges and the usage was consistent. You start with about 1-1/8" (3 cm) of clean fluid and end with about 3/8" (1 cm) of dirty fluid in the container (see photos). This is because as the used solution is cycled back into the cartridge, getting dirtier and dirtier with each cleaning (with most of the shavings settling to the bottom, getting caught in honeycomb-like traps), you reach a point where the liquid becomes too polluted to effectively clean. To make a long review even longer, if you can afford it, I do recommend these genuine Braun refill cartridges over any DIY or knock-off solutions. I know it sucks to have to keep spending money on your Braun, but you've bought a $200-250 shaver, just take care of it properly as it was intended. I did stop using any cleaning solutions for several years and instead tapped the shaving heads on the sink to loosen the shavings and brushed them off by hand with the OEM brush tool, but found the newer shaving heads break much easier being handled like that, whether it was the screens developing small holes or the glue holding the shaving blocks together failing from the vibrations against a hard surface. With a replacement shaver head costing $50-75 each time one breaks prematurely, it’s not worth the gamble in my opinion.

I have been using these for years with my Braun electric shavers. They do the job and last about a month to 6 weeks. I think they are expensive an provide a good profit margin to Braun. I can’t give less than 5 stars as they work well and I believe my razor shaving head lasts longer using them, but I would be a lot happier if they were far less expensive

Great
