Braun Series 3 ProSkin Electric Shaver For Men With

I bought this razor as it was recommended for sensitive skin and found it to be exactly as described. I use it every day and have had no problems. It gives a decent enough close shave and is really good for sensitive skin. It doesn’t have a trimmer so if you need one this isn’t the model for you. For the price and performance it’s been a good buy.

Bought this shaver after reading ‘which’ report upon it, after considering replacing my existing Phillips with other shavers costing a lot more. The Braun gives a very close shave, easy to operate and clean, and is excellent value for money. I would say that it is not entirely clear in its advertising that there is no trimmer for sideburns etc., and is a bit ambiguous in that respect, but that is no big deal.

Bought this to replace my old Braun Series 3 shaver. Obviously being brand new it shaves quicker and closer than my old one (which was 4 years old) so we’ll see how it’s doing in a year’s time. Disappointing there’s no sideburn trimmer like my previous one had – this is a basic shaver that does a good job. If I get two years trouble free shaving out of it then I’ll be happy.

I am a bit disappointed as it doesn’t give me a close enough shave, despite going over the same area many times, but without better results. It maybe that I have the facial hair akin to that of a badger? However it feels well made and is easy to hold.

I concur greatly with those reviews I’ve read. This is a quality shaver that gives an excellent shave. It is every bit as good as a wet shave due to the quality of the materials used and the design. As reviewers have already mentioned it can be seen as much more comfortable than many wet shaves. This of course is debatable and I believe that it may be a good idea to combine razors with electric shavers in any case. I’ve had a few brands of electric shavers over the years-mainly Remington for foil and Philishave for rotary. Both have been very good but can cause, I suppose mild skin irritation with frequent use. With wet shavers evidently one has to replace blades more frequently to achieve a really close shave. Of course, as some reviewers have mentioned, this can cost quite a lot-commonly about 10.00 for four blades. Even if one has very good shaving cream the cost soon builds up. Of course electric blades cost more but I imagine they can last much longer if properly cared for.
This Braun shaver really does offer almost the best of both worlds. It’s given me the best electric shave I’ve ever known combined with real comfort and convenience. Another very clever feature it has is the precision trimmer. Being between the two main foil cutting blades I felt it wouldn’t be much good compared to a pop-up one. In my experience this has proved not necessarily to be the case. I fell for my frequent habit of wondering where the pop-up trimmer was without realising I didn’t need one if I learned to properly use the one on this model. This saves about 10.00 or so on a more expensive model that provides pop-up. Then you have to deal with slightly more bulk in your hand and, presumably, shorter battery life according to use. You can, of course, pay about 28.00 for the basic model in the 3000 range with no trimmers at all but with similar blade and shave quality. Either way this particular model is an ingenious design and offers excellent value for money for such quality if one sees that other brands can cost 50.00 or more without providing such a great shave.

It’s cheaper than many other foil shavers, and lacks some of the features of more expensive shavers, such as remaining-battery gauge, trimmer, or travel case; however, I really like this simple shaver.

Its rubberised case is great to hold and won’t easily slip out of your hands. It charges in about an hour, and each charge lasts about 45 minutes, or about a week’s worth of shaves. The charging cord connects securely to the shaver and is nicely coiled, which means it stretches and contracts nicely, and can easily be used to power the shaver during shaving should you want to use the shaver when the battery is discharged.

The shave I get from it is very good — close, smooth and without irritation. To achieve prefect coverage takes a little more time compared to the best of my more expensive shavers; but overall I would rate this as one of the better shavers I have used, especially at this price.

I have a few electric shavers, some costing a lot more than this. This shaver shaves as well as many of the better ones, and is certainly one that I am very happy to use.
