Мой брат бреется утром и всегда берёт с собой бритву и лёгкие духи.

Because бриться means to shave oneself / to shave in the sense of personal grooming, while брить means to shave someone or something.

• Он бреется = He is shaving / He shaves
• Он бреет брата = He shaves his brother

The ending -ся shows that the action comes back to the subject: he is shaving himself.

In Russian, parts of the day are often used in the instrumental case to express time when something happens.

So:

• утро = morning
• утром = in the morning

This is a very common pattern:

• днём = in the daytime / during the day
• вечером = in the evening
• ночью = at night

So Мой брат бреется утром literally works like My brother shaves in-the-morning.

С собой means with oneself / with him / with her / with them, depending on the subject.

In this sentence:

• Мой брат ... берёт с собой... = My brother takes ... with him

Russian uses с собой very often where English uses with me/you/him/her/us/them when the thing is taken or carried along by the same person who is the subject.

Examples:

• Я беру с собой книгу = I take a book with me
• Она взяла с собой зонт = She took an umbrella with her

So here с собой refers back to мой брат.

Because бритва is the direct object of берёт (takes), so it goes into the accusative case.

• dictionary form: бритва = razor
• accusative singular: бритву

This is normal for most feminine nouns ending in -а:

• книга → книгу
• машина → машину
• бритва → бритву

So берёт бритву means takes a razor.

In Russian, духи is a plural noun meaning perfume.

So even though English often treats perfume as singular or uncountable, Russian uses a plural form:

• духи = perfume
• лёгкие духи = light perfume / a light fragrance

Because духи is plural, the adjective must also be plural:

• лёгкие, not лёгкий or лёгкую

This is one of those vocabulary items you just learn as it is.

Because adjectives in Russian must agree with the noun in gender, number, and case.

Since духи is plural, the adjective must also be plural:

• singular masculine: лёгкий
• singular feminine: лёгкая
• singular neuter: лёгкое
• plural: лёгкие

So:

• лёгкие духи = light perfume

The correct pronunciation here is berYOT, so ё shows the stressed sound clearly: берёт.

In many printed texts, Russian often replaces ё with е, so you may see берет, but that can be confusing because берет can also mean beret (the hat) or can be read with the wrong stress by learners.

For learners, it is very helpful to remember:

• берёт = takes
• stress falls on -ёт

Here the present tense describes a habitual action, not necessarily something happening at this exact moment.

• бреется утром = shaves in the morning / usually shaves in the morning
• всегда берёт = always takes

Russian present tense can express both:

1. an action happening now
2. a regular or repeated action

Because of утром and especially всегда, the sentence is understood as a routine or habit.

Russian often leaves out possessive words like his, her, or their when the meaning is obvious from context.

Here, if my brother is taking a razor and perfume with him, it is natural to understand these as the things he takes for his own use. Russian does not need to say his razor unless there is special emphasis or contrast.

So:

• берёт с собой бритву = takes a razor with him
• if needed, you could say свою бритву = his own razor

But in this sentence, that extra word is unnecessary.

Russian uses и for and, just like English.

In this sentence it connects two different things:

1. two actions:

   • бреется утром
   • всегда берёт с собой...

2. two objects of берёт:

   • бритву
   • лёгкие духи

So the structure is:

• My brother shaves in the morning and always takes with him a razor and light perfume.

Using и twice is completely normal.

Russian word order is more flexible than English because the case endings show the grammatical roles.

The given order is natural and neutral:

• Мой брат бреется утром и всегда берёт с собой бритву и лёгкие духи.

But other orders are also possible, depending on emphasis. For example:

• Утром мой брат всегда бреется и берёт с собой бритву и лёгкие духи.

This would put more emphasis on in the morning.

So yes, the word order can change, but the original sentence sounds normal and straightforward.
