How hard would it be to clean the razor each day? How does the top come off?

Very easy to clean. Top snaps off, sliding clip keeps all three rotarys in place.

it is easy, just grip both canister and top, then shake, I do it every 2nd shave as it will settle over time.

No - The razor just does fine being thoroughly rinsed or shaken in very hot water, without being taken apart after each shave. A complete rinse or blade change if necessary, probably about once every 5 or 6 or even more shaves depending on beard type and this seems to be sufficient, This is based this on my stubble which is a very stiff and heavy type.

Hey Hoot. I've been DE shaving for a while and it really doesnt take anything special. I rinse the razor in hot water after each shave and do a more thorough cleaning when I change blades. Feathers last three shaves for me.

Remove the shaver head and then remove the 4 corner blades and the center blade. Wash everything, let it dry and put it back together. I usually brush it and then wash it. Just be careful that you have the parts aligned properly when you snap it back together. It is a bit of a pain so I don't necessarily do it with every use but if you don't do this the hair is accumulating inside the unit.

Lining it up with what? The whole top piece comes off and the top piece has 2 pegs that align the razor blade and the base. It's pretty straight forward and (to me) impossible to screw it up.

Hello JJI. I have been meaning to respond to your post and used my braun 9595 for the 2nd time only today. I'm a doctor and appreciate your concern which is genuine and as you explain, far from ideal to end up with hairs in your trachy site. Unfortunately, I think you're safer staying away from this shaver for your particular concern since there was a considerable amount of small hairs that fell during my shave today. I could clearly see those hairs in the sink and since they fall out dry, they are more difficult to extract and clean. I don't know if you currently shave with 'wet' razors, but I would imagine that is the safest and cleanest way to shave around the area. Dry hairs tend to be problematic to remove and most likely to elicit the undesired inflammatory reactions although less likely obstruct the area due to their minute size. This shaver does not have a vacuum system and I don't know how it compares to others since this is my first electric shaver. Also, I can't even comment on the quality of shave at this very early stage yet but I'll leave a review in due course. I hope this is useful but please accept this at face value as my opinion only from what I've experienced personally so far. Its worth mentioning that my stubble is slightly thicker than your average stubble. All the best.

You'd still have to scrub it pretty hard while you use the steamer, but eventually it would probably come off. I wish I could tell you that it would be easier.

My husband uses a straight razor, he likes the single blade, and he doesn't have any problem with the soap drying out he leaves the lid off and he doesn't soak the soap. He gets it wet enough for a lather and then he shaves. He also leaves the lid off.

There is a small button at the side near the head that releases the head for easy cleaning. It's a ry nice small and functional shaver for travel. I even use it at home.

Mine have been on for maybe 8-9 months and show no sign of starting to come off so I have no experience. I'd probably very carefully start with a razor blade

I keep it in a sealed plastic jar and run the razor in the jar. It works great. Just have to change the solution every couple of weeks. You can tell it is cleaning the razor because the solution becomes cloudy.

If you jet clean your razor every day, as the company suggests, they say the bottle should last you a month.But some of us have been jet cleaning once a week using the "intensive" setting. Then we poor it into a jar through a coffee filter, so that it doesn't evaporate. Then we re-use it again the next week. We only top it off from the original bottle as needed. Doing it this way I am still on the original bottle and its been 3 months and I still have plenty. Others don't even bother using the jet clean at all. It isn't required.

Probably just me, but shaving in the shower with a DE razor would be like trying to drive while blindfolded. I need to see my face with the razor touching my face. If not, I have visions of "Sweeney Todd" flashing in front of my eyes. And as many say, the razor needs to be dried (and kept dry) after each shave. It's not a cheap plastic razor like we are all used to.

You grab the top of the razor head part and with the other hand you unscrew the handle until it all comes apart. Then you insert the razor blade, put the top back on and screw the bottom (the handle) back on.

The manual for cleaning is more complicated then it needs to be. I have found by just running warm water over the disconnected top and brushing the lower unit it has remained clean and sharp for the next use.

The shaver is pretty easy to clean as is, and the accompanying manual also talks about how to do so without using the cleaning system. I suppose the system is a good place to anchor the shaver for a recharge, and ability to additionally clean and dry is useful at the same time. It's utility will be down to a personal preference, is definitely not a must, and should be treated as a nice option. To me a function which is overlooked in the cleaning system is that of drying the shaver quickly (as it can be used as a wet shaver, or rinsed after a shave for a quick clean), as it will help in protecting the metal parts from any rust. The downside is only a few extra dollars! The shaver is pretty easy to clean as is, and the accompanying manual also talks about how to do so without using the cleaning system.
