Thanks for this tip.I have made my own cleaning fluid following your instructions and adding lemon essential oil.This has worked wonderfully well and given a new lease of life to my old braun series 7 shaver that I originaly bought without the cleaning station to make the cost cheaper.The lemon oil does 3 things - it lubricates, it gives a nice fresh aroma to the cleaned shaver and finally lemon oil has anticeptic properties.I added 5ml of essential lemon oil to the 500ml bottle and this 1 in 100 ratio works fine.Thanks again and regards.

you can cut the rubbing alcohol by 1/3 with water and just add a small amount of any essential oils you want for a good fragrance. example: lemon. orange, patchouli , lavender, mint, cedar, rose, cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, juniper, sage, menthol, tea tree, wintergreen, ect. about a half to a full teaspoon depending on how strong you want it to be.

I've been using 70% to 90% rubbing alcohol and essential oil in my clean and renew cartridge. It really depends on what the stores have in stock as far as the rubbing alcohol. I make sure I clean the cartridge really well as opposed to some of these other guys in these videos which are just nasty. I probably changed the alcohol and essential oil after each time the battery needs to be charged. I find that the essential oils smell nice and do lubricate my skin.

The method I use costs virtually nothing if you save the used cartridges and works well for me. I simply strain the used Braun fluid through coffee filter paper. 2 or 3 used cartridges usually provide sufficient cleaning fluid to fill an empty one. The filtered fluid is clear and lemon yellow (no longer blue). Amazing how much gunk is left in the filter paper ;-) After washing an empty cartridge, allow it to dry thoroughly.

After experimenting with alcohol and essential oils and then going back to the original Braun cartridge I can only say that it just didn’t worth the trouble. The alternative solution leaves the head and the cleaning base filled with gray sludge. You can also clearly see it clogging the intermediate cutter and accumulating inside the head when removed. Also, the shaver leaves residue on the skin no matter how often you clean it and of course its performance is noticeably reduced.

The original cleaning solution contains denatured alcohol, which is quite different than isopropylic alcohol. You should be using denatured alcohol which leaves much less residues when drying up than isopropylic alcohol.
@kevinmoss4908

Agree with Anita, Denatured Alcohol just means it has crap added to make it unpleasant to drink so it isn't taxed the same way and can be used in large quantities for industrial uses. So denatured alcohol likely has more unpleasant residue and is likely to be more irritating to your skin than isopropyl. Stick with anything labeled isopropyl or rubbing alcohol, both will be fine.
@Subparanon
10 жыл бұрын
Kevin Moss You're incorrect. Isoprypyl, rubbing, and denatured all evaporate leaving little to no residue behind. The reason you need to use denatured alcohol is that it does not act as strong as a solvent when it comes into contact with paint, plastic, and rubber. Rubbing alcohol and isopropyl do act as solvents on paint, rubber seals, and plastics. I made the mistake of using isopropyl alcohol when I first started doing this and ruined the paint on the head of my shaver, it pitted like it had been burned. It also dried out the gaskets in my base unit, increasing the rate at which the cleaning solution evaporates off.

Just use everclear 190 grain. It's the same exact ingredient as Braun uses except it has no "impurity" that's required of denatured alcohol. Then just put a few drops of whatever oil lubricant u want... I guess Tea Tree oil would work, it's an antiseptic. Denatured alcohol is the same thing as Everclear (ethanol) except for trade purposes (taxes) it has to be "poisoned" so it's undrinkable, that's what the "denatured" means. The "poison" they use for Braun is actually just a bitterant (makes it taste horrible) so it's non-toxic for your face.

Denatured alcohol is usually toxic to drink, Braun uses a specific kind that's "non-toxic" but it's much harder to get for the general public. It's better to just use Everclear 190 grain because it's ethanol just the same as "Denatured" but no impurity. Denaturing the alcohol provides absolutely zero benefit to a person using it on their face, it's only to make it undrinkable.

FYI to anyone who uses Norelco shavers with HQ9 heads. I just picked up several packages of HQ9s for 9 bucks each at my local Walmart (Quincy MA). Walmart corporate MAY have discontinued these and replaced them with new numbers. In that case the discount would be national. Or it may be a local store decision. I don't know. All I can tell you is to check your nearby store. The packages may or may not say 9 dollars. Mine said 25 dollars so I decided to buy one, since 25 is a reasonable discount on an item that hardly ever sees a price reduction. Imagine my surprise when I got to the checkout and it rang up at 9 bucks! So I went and grabbed 2 more. I would have grabbed more but every razor has a lifespan. Don't know what that is but I'd be surprised if the battery and motor lasted beyond 3 of 4 head replacements.

In Australia it's harder to get rubbing alcohol in large bottles, although I did eventually find an electrical wiring store (?!) which sold 1 litre Isopropyl alcohol for $20. I've had it for 12 months and am only half way through the bottle. The trick is that you need to 1. clean, then fill the cleaning cartridge to only two-thirds, then 2. add 4ml of nail polish remover (eg Cutix...courtesy of my wife!) - otherwise the Braun unit won't detect the cartridge is full. Not sure why, but it works

could you use eucalyptus oil or tea tree oil, with the ispropyl liquid, the renew refills are expensive here in Australia, im not a fan of lemon or orange oil or fragrance so was curious about tea tree or eucalyptus instead

Can you do away with the refill solution if you don't mind the scent of isopropyl alcohol?

Yes, HQ200 does work. Braun uses alcohol mostly to justify the absurd price of the cartridge. HQ200 has 1% alcohol, which is more than sufficient for disinfecting. As a manufacturer of an inexpensive and high-performing Clean & Renew replacement called Shaver Shebang, we have done quite a bit of testing of many formulations and have deep knowledge on this subject. The testing included running HQ200 through two cartridge cycles.

I tried doing it, however it did not work after refilling. I used red food coloring to see the color of the liquid, but it does not work for a reason

Interesting video. Are you in Canada? I'm glad that I have the french name for that alcohol as I'm often in France.

Does this also work with the Philips Senso Touch models, or is there the danger that the alcohol evaporates?
