I bought this so he can start to manage body hair. After showing him how it works he says it’s great!
Price was fair, and I trust Braun products.
It’s a cheaper unit and fine for my growing-up son.
I have put this beast to the test
And it’s well made
Rechargeable
I shaved my head and beard by myself
Not my first set
But definitely the best I’ve had !
Would by again
Need to have an eu adapter or a shaver charger socket as it’s two pin plug not 3 on uk.
Braun were very helpful on the phone when I asked for help getting this to the service centre, which must be commended.
I noticed the 2 pin socket b4 ordering, so ordered a multi adapter UK- US -EU. Once I figured out how to use the adapter proprly it seems to be working fine.thank you
Pretty good, makes short work of several day old stubble and is easy to handle / charge. As ever the nose / ear trimmer is next to useless but I have never found one (albeit a cheap one) that is any good. There is a nose wax set on amazon that’s very good and well priced if that’s important to you but slightly gross to use – body hair of most varieties and its disposal generally is
The good:
The price
It’s easy to use
Comes with plenty of shaving options
The bad:
Battery is poor
Comes with a two pin plug
This is definitely better than my previous beard trimmer, the blades are better and there’s loads of shaving options. The nose trimmer is awful though it pulls rather than cuts so this in my experience is to be avoided.
The battery isnt that good, I think I had probably 3 beard trims out of it before charging, the charging takes ages as well. The shaver comes with a two pin shaving plug, I’m lucky I do have a shaving socket but a lot don’t. It’s easily solved with an adapter but this is extra expense.
Overall, good shaver let down by a poor battery
Pros
The blades are sharp, but I haven’t cut myself yet — for the easiest shave I would recommend using it with an electric pre-shave such as Blue Stratos to ensure that the hair is prepped and easy to cut.
The different shaver heads all attach smoothly and stay attached in use (and have a reassuring click when you are adjusting the position relative to the blade), so you don’t end up cutting a huge chunk out of your own hair accidentally.
The battery life is fairly long.
Cons
The battery requires 10 hours to charge for 50 mins of use — so you will need to charge it in advance if you think the battery is running low. The trimmer CANNOT be used whilst charging, most likely a safety feature, but many Philips trimmers do allow this, which is much more convenient.
Not waterproof — a lot of cut stubble accumulates on the body of the shaver — it would be super convenient to be able to wash it away under the tap — so perhaps consider buying one of the more expensive ‘wet or dry’ models if this is a deal breaker for you (which also tend to charge faster than this model).
No bag or carrying case included – not a massive issue, but would be nice to have.
IMPORTANT POINT TO NOTE — the charger is a 2 PIN SHAVER PLUG — THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS AN EU PLUG (A SHAVER PLUG HAS 2 PINS WHICH ARE CLOSER TOGETHER THAN AN EU ONE).
I would recommend buying a 2 Pin to 3 Pin adaptor such as the one at the link below:

I cut my own hair and beard, so I buy one of the cheapest haircutters I can find, and, as long as I get 2/3 cuts ouf of them, I save money, barbers are expensive these days and there’s no point paying 10 plus for a grade 1 or 2 buzzcut all over my head – no skill needed here!
This is, as all of them do, a very powerful, clean cut fresh out of the box, this tends to wimper down as the battery dies a slow, painful death but, so far, so good. There’s a great array of good quality plastic grade things and even a specific cover for hair cutting, the beard trim covers tend to clog with a lot of hair as I found out…
Loses one star as it’s only got an EU plug, which isn’t the end of the world if you have a UK converter like I do, but is something you should be aware of. Crucially, and a bit of a downer, you must ensure you charge it WELL BEFORE cutting your hair, as you can’t use it while it’s plugged in and charging and if the charge dies mid haircut…yeah, you’re up the creek without a charge!
But it is so much easier to use and more versatile than the trimmer I have been using that for me, it is worth the wait. The attachments slide on and off with a positive feel and don’t feel like they are going to snap off the plastic tabs that hold them on which was the trouble with the old trimmer – not a Braun. It was always a struggle to get them on and off, sometimes ending with painful jabs of the cutters into a finger or three, and not good if the thing responded to an accidental touch on the small on/off-switch at the same time! The Braun is so much safer in this respect.
All I have to do now is make my brain coordinate with my arthritic hands and learn how to point the thing in the right direction when trying to reach things with my left hand which can’t be reached with the right.
I simply can’t understand the complaints here about the plug not fitting. The trimmer charger uses a standard razor plug, as do all bathroom-safe mains powered personal appliances. Every electric shaver I have had for the last 50 years of whatever brand has used the same two pin plug. To use it in a standard UK socket you need a fused shaver adapter (several available on Amazon), but a properly equipped bathroom should come with one built into the wall or a light fighting near the mirror. All hotels have them. The pin size and spacing is not the same as the old British domestic two pin plug used for lights and so in times gone by. Shaver sockets are different, for safety reasons.
