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

I would suggest that yes, you should.I get where Braun is coming from by developing the easiest and most friction-free process for cleaning its high-end electric shavers, even with the negatives of higher cost and greater waste.The bottom line is that these things are actually better than most of the options that involve refilling cartridges with dedicated shaver cleaning liquid or powders added to isopropyl alcohol.What’s better about them?They’re made from ethanol rather than isopropyl, which is gentler on the plastics used in the shaver and the cleaning station.The ethanol-based Braun cleaning liquid evaporates better/faster than isopropyl.They have lubricant as part of the formula so there’s no need to clean and then oil the blade cassette.The convenience factor is meaningfully better with the cartridges.The cost of cartridges isn’t actually much different than the cost of other (fussier) options if you buy these things in bulk.(Frugality tip: if you pull the cartridge out and put the cover back on and then reinstall and do the cleaning cycle once per week, the cartridges don’t evaporate and will last a lot longer, especially if you brush off the cassette before running the cleaning cycle. You may only need one cartridge every six months or so.)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Granted, using six cartridges per year rather than one cartridge case and a couple of plastic alcohol bottles for refilling may be slightly more wasteful; but again, only slightly. And I think that there are other higher-gain ways to reduce waste than to not use shaver cleaning cartridges 😊So all in all, I suggest that you live a little and consider going for the small luxury of Braun’s shaver cleaning cartridges.

Works well at keeping my razor clean. I run it once a week and a single cartridge lasts about 2 months. The hotter it is out, the cartridge lasts less. I would guess due to evaporation. Made in Ireland, always top quality. Standard cartridge, so it can be used with newer razors when necessary, you won’t loose any unless you change razor brands. It has a nice aroma. Just run it 24 hours before you plan on using it next, it takes a while to dry.

The foils on my husband's razor would give out. Having a clean solution keeps the foils from failing is great and it charges at the same time!

Cleaning power and quality and smell works well. Not a good value for money as they deplete quickly

I have been using these boxes for 2 years now. No problem at all. Great value for money. Great quality. The razor is as new after cleaning.

I've purchased the OEM cleaners, and I've purchased the 3rd party cleaners. The OEM really are nicer, and not really that much more expensive.If you want to lengthen the life, you can always pull out a half-used cleaner and fill it with rubbing alcohol.

Great product!

I use mine once a week. If you take the cartridge out of the cleaning machine and reseal with the plastic covers they last more than a year.
