I had to buy new cartridges of Braun to see if the machine still works. After that I shake off the water a bit and I put it into the cleaning station to clean. Dont think so. These stations take into account the fluid level and its electric conductivity as well, so there may be something wrong with the electronics involved in this process. Thank you for the heads up, Vinny. Thanks for the heads-up, Jay. Since the lubricant does not evaporate, it does not need to be replacedfor that reason. Thank you for signing up! Its like a very fine mesh and its color is the same as the rest of the cartridge, so it can be difficult to spot, especially if the cartridge has fluid in it or is murky. It may be that it doesnt really matter and just isopropyl is fine. they sell a pack of 6 compatible cartridges on Amazon made by a different company than Braun: https://www.amazon.com/Refill-Cartridges-Braun-Clean-6-Pack/dp/B07K4S3TWJ/. Thanks. Do you think the essential oils in the Shaver Shebang will provide enough lubrication without mineral oil? While the cleaning cycle will start without the station protesting, the solution will foam up a lot, causing some pressure buildup inside the cartridge and will likely make a mess too. I set this shaver aside for wet shaving only. The final result in terms of drying is slightly better than before. Thank you!!. Your research saved me a ton of work! As we all know, Braun cleaning stations use these plastic cartridges that youd normally replace with a new one. Just a heads up that 99% alcohol doesnt work. That doesnt look particularly clean, but it would work nevertheless. Do the latest Braun (series 7, 8, 9) stations have a counter that prevents refills? You must really play around with the ingredients/proportions to get it right. The results after using the Cleanerist solution were just as impressive. I have the same issue here.

Havent tried using it with a Panasonic station, but I guess itll probably work even a Braun station will work with the Jet Clean fluid, but I do not recommend using it (it will foam up a lot and overflow the cartridge). Started home-brewing my cleaner refills early on with iso. Yes, there is some sort of sensor that likely measures the electric conductivity of the solution. By the way, Philips Jet Clean doesnt work better as a lubricant (if not worse). You may need to add more if the alcohol concentration is still too high and the station sees the cartridge as empty (make sure not to overfill the container). We specialize in fixing & repairing Oster 76 & Oster A5 Clippers, We also repair most Andis & Wahl clippers, And, we buy old and even broken Oster 76 & Oster A5 Clippers.

First, Isopropyl is absolutely hard on plastics. This makes Braun stations more practical than the ones from other brands. The smell was quite pleasant and unobtrusive.
