Why do so many customers purchase the incorrect part for their Braun electric shaver?

Braun electric shavers have been around for over 20 years, and the replacement parts they require must also evolve to keep up with modern technology. To find the correct part needed to replace your current one, it is important to focus on models within a specific series; in this case we are looking at Series 5 replacements. There are 6 separate foil cutter cassettes used by these older models – 51B/S (black or silver plastic frames), as well as 52B/S which were developed later and combined both foils & cutters into an all-in-one unit. The latest Braun models now take a new part number 53B or 53S the second generation od cassette style shaving heads. With just a bit of research you'll be able to determine what's best for keeping that classic precision shave!

When searching for a Braun replacement part, the model number you need is often easy to locate. A great place to start is right on the front of your shaver. You can also look on the rear casing, beneath the trimmer attachment, under the head/foil guard and even on the product’s base. Model numbers listed on products are formatted differently at times so be sure to get it correctly or you could end up ordering an incorrect replacement part. Knowing where to look for your model number makes finding the correct Braun replacement a simple process!

Example of a real customer query
Customer comments: I'm sorry that i have ordered an incorrect model. I should have ordered 51B for Series 5090 instead of 51S. Can I replace this item to 51B and I will pay the difference.

Customer gets the model number confused with a series number, we replied with the below suggestion: -
If you have the model Braun 5090 then the part 51s will not work, the 51B and the 51S are the same part the B stands for black plastic and the S stands for silver
