Bought this shaver to replace an older Braun one I had for years (it was a dry shave only)
Tried this new one out and it works well,although I prefer to wet shave with it for comfort,not the closes of shaves but does the job nicely,without irritation
,its good shaver overall nice and light to use. Doesn’t come with a case ,but with a blade protector guard and brush, and charging lead, that plugs into a shaver socket or adaptor plug (not supplied)
On the subject of the charging lead,if anyone is considering purchasing this item.
I have noticed the charging pins are quite thin and although plugs into a standard UK shaver plug,the whole shaver adaptor does wobble a bit,into a UK shaver plug.
I had contacted Braun support,for a product query,about this
turns out this shaver model ships with a EU type plug adaptor lead hence the thinner pins!!
I have ordered a EU to UK 3pin plug adaptor, at modest cost,why this didn’t ship with a UK adaptor lead,goodness knows
This is my second Braun Series 3. My previous one is approximately 20 years old and still working, however the battery was no longer holding much charge.
I’ve been using the new one for a couple months now and compared to my old workhorse this new one seems to provide a closer smoother shave. I’ve not had any issues with irritation and I’ve had no snagging of the skin.
I do prefer the build quality of my old series 3 but this one does still feel good and like it will last a good amount of time.
Charging is still via a traditional charger, not sure why they don’t just make these USB C now. it does hold charge well and I don’t need to charge very frequently.
As others have said, this shaves very close with no burning at all. This is without doubt the closest shave that I’ve ever had that was not a blade shave. I’ve had many expensive shavers but this is the best and,very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this, already have as another member of my family have just bought one.
This Braun is so much better. It’s fairly quiet and nicer to use without a mains lead being attached. It is also much sharper and more gentle on my skin. I never have any redness or burning sensation and it shaves me very quickly. The slide up trimmer works well too which was something I’d worried about because the Remington trimmer was good but this one is just as good. I use it for dry shaving and it does give a very close and comfortable shave.
The only criticism I have is the pins on the mains charger are thinner than others and they wobble about slightly when I plug them into my UK shaver adaptor but they don’t fall out and the shaver charges without a problem.
I’d certainly recommend this shaver. I am very happy with it and am glad I bought it. I’ve been using electric shavers for over forty years and this one is the best yet.
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.
Overall, I’m pretty happy with it. The bottom line is- it gives me a nice smooth, quick and clean shave and it didn’t cost a fortune. Obviously, brand new blades help, but it’s quite ergonomic and the (new for me) tilting heads do seem helpful. It doesn’t feel quite as well made as my last one and some of the plastics feel a bit low-rent.
As it’s so new, I can’t comment on battery life, but I may well update this review when I’ve owned it a bit longer. I don’t intend to use it with shaving foam or in the shower etc. as I just need it as a dry shaver. I don’t plan on running it under the tap unless I’ve removed the blades first- and in this respect this model is inferior because the top cover is more fiddly to release compared to my last Braun, the compartment for shavings is much larger now though.
The start button is now on the front, which is not quite so ergonomic as before when it was next to your thumb while you were shaving.
I’ve not used the sideburn trimmer yet, but it can’t be any worse than on my last 2 Brauns, both of which surrendered after 2 or 3 years use. Another thing that surely must have improved is the battery technology. My previous 2 Brauns’ batteries both lost their ability to hold a charge after only around 3 or 4 years, so after then I used them both as mains-only shavers. This brings me to my main gripe with this and virtually all new shavers- you cannot shave with it when it’s plugged-in. So, if the battery on this model is no better than on my previous Brauns, I’ll be forced to buy another shaver when it eventually fails to hold sufficient charge.
A couple of other niggles- the charging cable isn’t coiled, which I prefer, but the old cable fits the new shaver, so I’ll use that. There is no case included and, as this model’s a bit longer, it doesn’t fit the old case. The cleaning brush is a pathetic tiny thing, less than half the size of my old one.
Bottom line- Recommended (but I bet I don’t get 18 years out of it).
Bought for a penny under 50 and 50% off the official RRP, a well made and reliable shaver.
Does the job very well providing me with a clean shave daily. Battery life is good- need to recharge every 2 weeks with daily 5 minutes use approximately.
Overall feel and build quality is good both light and quite well made. Again not as sturdy as older Brauns that I have purchased in the last 30 years but that is how things are these days – cheaply made even for high end quality stuff.
A steal for 50.00- not sure I would pay over 100 for it though.
I was very pleased with the result of shaving with this particular Braun shaver. It replaced one lost that I had used for years. The difference between the older cutting technology was amazing and so comfortable to use. It’s an economically priced shaver and has no storage case but it has a useful guard ‘cover’.
The ability to flip from a shaver to a foil is very useful. Handy to have it all in one. However, the guard sizing increments I found to be a bit annoying. Thinking of upgrading to one with more choice in guard size. Can’t complain though for the price, it’s very good. Keeps battery life well and shaves efficiently.
Easy to use. Charge lasts a long time. Quite gentle on the skin. Not a great shave. Tends to miss bits and needs a lot of perseverance to get a good result.
Compared to the Philips Oneblade razor which I have used for years this gives a closer shave and my skin feels much smoother. It shaves in half the time and it’s not as messy.
The replacement heads work out cheaper than the Oneblade as they last longer.
I find it easier to use and cleaning is simple.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for your first shaver.
Bought this when my previous Braun shaver reluctantly retired after at least 15 years service, probably more like 20. Excellent bit of kit. No points for Ergonomic because I’ve no idea what that could mean in this context.
I can’t guarantee it is not my technique, but the few times I used the machine it never gave me (the expected) clean-shaven shave. I quite like the trim to cut the (couple of weeks) stubble, but I have always found that I still need a razor to get that perfect shave.
I love this shaver. It helps me get a really close shave without getting razor burns/irritation that i would normally get with a razor. I find that i can use it every other day and my skin feels ok every time. The charge is also great and lasts me at least 5-6 full shaves. The grip is also great and feels easy to hold. The only thing i will say is sometimes i struggle to shave around my neck area, but i think that’s more due to the way my hair grows there. Great product !
I think this is my 3rd Braun series 3 electric razor in a row.
Each one lasts a number of years. You can easily buy replacement shaving heads and fit them.
The reason for replacement is usually that the battery no longer holds its charge for long enough. But that takes a few years to get to that point. A new one will hold its charge enough for me to shave daily for about 4-5 days I think.
