Series 3 3040s

I had not used an electric shaver for some time, but the need to shave regularly and sometimes on a busy schedule made one necessary for me when wet shaving feels like a luxury. The cost of decent wet shave blades these days is also monstrous. I have found this Series 3 to be a really excellent performer that keeps my facial hair well at bay and fits well into a mixed shave routine. Unlike older shavers, where the foil covered the blades that were attached to the shaver, the blades and the foil are all one unit and come off together. They are also replaceable - and may be cheaper (thank you Amazon) than buying a big pack of wet razor blades. You can brush your bristles out our run the head under a tap (I tend to dry shave with the Braun). Performance wise, the Braun deals excellently with my chin and lip hair; on the side of my face, I have to really slow down a bit to get a smoother shave on my back cheeks and around the neck. One thing to say is that I get no razor burn at all as I do have sensitive skin. If you facial hair is a bit longer, just go more slowly. The S3 has not hurt me at all yet and its head is good for 18 months (and that I imagine is if you use it more than I do as like I said, I mix shave). Ergonomically it is hard to drop - fits like a glove in my hand. The only downside is that sometimes when I take the clear plastic foil protector off, the foil/blade head comes off with it and if you have not cleaned it previously, your bristles and dead skin goes all over the place so don't grab the foil protector too hard! Battery life is very good indeed and the pull out side burn blade is also very useful too. All in all a very satisfying piece of kit that just does what it is supposed to do. And isn't that good news!! Highly recommended.

I had old one of these that finally died (recharch batt gone). So pleased to see exact same model still produced. No brainer to buy replacement. Really does give exceptionally smooth clean close shave and side trimmer is very handy for sideburns or just trimming down beard if not shaved for a while. And simple to wash under tap. Recharges fully in well under under hr. Not cheap but for performance is well worth it.

My son has been using another well know brand shaver for sometime and it finally gave up. I thought an ‘upgrade’ would be good, and thought a different brand might be a good try. On the previous one, the whole head moved, on this just the foils do. It's not too good at chowing straight into week long stubble as a previous brand we used. In fact, the results were pretty rough doing that, much longer time to shave and didn't do such a clean job. To combat this, I coax my son to try a different approach (he has autism, change isn't easy) - the compromise is to shave twice a week, just using the foils, but also using the trimmer (quite basic but functional) to help him take some of the thickness out (his beard grows very quickly). This is working well, despite the protests (did I say he doesn't like shaving?!). It is actually quite a nice and robust shaver, light weight and with decent foils and easy to clean. It's giving a better shave over all I think and great on his skin (not necessarily sensitive but prone to spots). If you're also a reluctant shaver and like to just do so once a week, you may wish to invest a bit more for something that will tackle that. If you like a beard there's a beard trimmer. No carry bag which is a shame. And you'll need a shaver adapter plug. The charge lasts well, and the charge level indicator means you’re not half way through a shave when it stops!

I bought this to replace a twelve year old Braun shaver that had lain idle for years and whose battery was unable to hold any charge. I wondered before buying if technology had improved much in the intervening time. I'm very pleased that it seems to have done. This shaver is slightly smaller and lighter than my old one so that's a plus. The shaver head is quite different with two tilting shaving bars and one fixed. It has a useful sideburn trimmer that pushes out. It's quite stiff I find but unobtrusive when stowed away. You need to charge the shaver for four hours before use and use it without charging again till it runs flat. This is to condition the battery for maximum life. I like to shave almost every day and was sceptical that I'd get anything like as close as close a shave with the electric shaver as with a wet shave. My scepticism was well-founded. However, it was quite a surprise to find what a good close shave I did get. It's quite quiet in use, ergonomic in the hand and powerful enough to get through tough stubble easily, I have a few places where hairs lie flat and very close to my neck and the Braun struggled with those at first. After a few shaves it is catching them now. I suppose it takes a little time for skin to get used to dry electric shaving again. Some slight niggles. The on/off button is where my thumb goes when moving the shaver over my face and I occasionally switch the thing off accidentally. Not a major problem but slightly irritating. There is no carrying case with it although a guard to protect the shaver head and on/off switch is provided. The shaver can be used in the shower with gel or foam but I don't really get that as I want an electric shaver for the convenience of being able to shave clothed if necessary and to avoid all the mess and paraphernalia of wet shaving. A small cleaning brush enables me to sweep away debris though it can be washed under the tap - necessary if used with gel or foam. The battery is claimed to last about an hour between charges but I haven't used it that long so I'm unable to verify that yet. It seems well made, strong but light and I'm very pleased with it.

Je me suis toujours rasé au rasoir ordinaire mécanique pour ne pas avoir très jeune, été satisfait par aucun rasoir électrique. Seuls les Braun sortaient déjà du lot. Et là, j'avoue que c'est pas mal du tout, il y a un réel progrès (en 50 ans). C'est presque aussi bien que mon bi-lames que j'utilise depuis toujours. La peau n'est pas plus irritée, la batterie reste chargée très longtemps, c'est rasé de très près. En un mot je suis vraiment satisfait de ce rasoir pas cher (pas comme l'étui de rangement) et à ceux qui sont réticents comme je l'étais, je vous conseille d'essayer.

Ürünü herkese tavsiye ederim ıslak kuru çok iyi traş ediyor. Yalnız bazı konuları açıklamak gerek sakal kısa fazla uzmamis ise makine çok iyi alıyor. Biraz uzun olduğunda arada sirada da olsa takılmalar olup çekme yapabiliyor o yüzden makinanin düzeltme bölümü ile önce sakalı kısaltip sonra traşa devam etmenizi öneririm.Kısa sürede şarj oluyor ve 2 ve en fazla 3 kere tras edebiliyor.Temizlemesi de kolay.Yalnız su ile temizlerseniz makine için uygun ufak yağlardan satılıyor ondan alıp yaglamanizi öneririm.

Love the shaver. Clean, close, shave. Use on face and head. Believes it shaves even closer with shave foam or gel. Anyway, I give it 5 stars for closeness of shave, one charge goes a long way, and easy to clean.

Great product, works perfectly
