Proper storage and maintenance of your electric razor are key to ensuring long-term performance and durability. Let’s dive into how we all manage our razors when they’re not in use and share tips for keeping them in top shape.

Here’s how I handle mine:

When I had my Braun Series 9 Pro 9465cc, I used its cleaning station whenever the razor needed to be charged, but I always cleaned it under running tap water after every shave to avoid buildup, which as you know from my other posts, wasn't very successful.

For my older Philips cord-only razors, I’ve always preferred hard cases for protection. Sadly, it seems like hard cases are almost impossible to find for newer models, which is a shame since they’re great for travel and long-term storage.

Recently, I’ve started lubricating my Remington Balder Pro head razor with unscented baby oil, and it works very well. It keeps the cutters running smoothly and adds an extra layer of protection after cleaning.


How about you?

Do you rely on cleaning stations, or do you prefer manual cleaning methods?

Have you found a good substitute for hard cases for newer razors?

What lubricants or maintenance products do you use, and have they made a noticeable difference?

Share your experiences, tips, and any challenges you’ve faced. Let’s help each other out with practical advice and keep our razors in excellent condition.
