Braun Series 3 Electric Shaver for Men, Electric Razor for Men, UK 2 Pin Plug, 300, Black Razor

Just replacing the same one of over 5 years, could have just done the head, but the cost was so good this made sense. It is a great product, I charge the battery once a week, just to be ready but I know it will go longer, I feel like a teenager again with the closeness of the shave. It is a basic model, but lets be honest that is all most of us need shave, clean it, go. Never used with water, but if they say it can do it, I am sure it can Treat yourself

At the time of writing this review I have owned this shaver for 19 months. This shaver appeared to be a bargain. It was a lot cheaper than the others I had on a watchlist but I noticed it didn't have the beard trimmer function. Thats why it's cheaper. The instructions say when it is new to charge it right up and then to run it untl it is flat. I did this a couple of times and it lasted for a whole months worth of shaving. Brilliant. Very close shave, quiet, comfortable, light to hold, very grippy. Only comment is that the power light isn't so easy to see when the shaver is in use. Now just over a year & a half later the battery is barely seeing a week out before it needs recharging. It's kind of ok but the "long-life NiMH batteries" don't seem to hold up to their hype. Luckily this shaver is one of the few that you can run on battery and/or mains and it can be run on mains whilst shaving. The shavers that you drop into charging ports can't do this. Apart from the battery life depleting so quickly I'd recommend it if you are looking for a good shave on a budget.

This is my third Braun shaver. The previous one, also from the Series 3 lineup (model 330) served me well for 12 years, so naturally I wanted to go with another Braun. I'm not disappointed. It does its job well, feels softer than the previous shaver and is quieter. It's not magical though so don't expect to shave off 100% of hair after just one pass. That's probably impossible with this type of shavers (foil) because of different hair growth directions - you must always go against the hair growth direction. But the shave does feel quite close. I usually shave every other day (48-hour interval), but the shaver handled 72-hour hair with no problems. I like the fact that the removable shaving head is a single unit, rather than two as in the previous shaver (the foil and the cutter block were separate). Overall, the construction of the shaver is much simpler than my previous one, not least due to the lack of a built-in trimmer, but also because how the shaving head attaches. Simpler construction will hopefully mean fewer chances for breaking something. The main con of this shaver is the lack of accessories, especially the long hair trimmer. The next model with a trimmer that I could find wasn't able to shave while charging (an important selection criteria for me), in addition to a much higher price. Instead, I ordered a beard trimmer kit (part BT32) which *I hope* will fit this shaver (apparently it should). It's also sad that the shaver doesn't come with a brush, a storage case and machine oil that the previous shaver had, but this was known before purchase and the low price reflects minimal accessory kit. (Actually, I can use the brush from the old shaver and still have some oil left, so there's less waste!). The shaver does come with a protective cap though, so the lack of a storage case is hardly an annoyance. An important note on the charger's plug. It's a 2-pin plug that *looks* like an EU plug but *isn't* - it won't fit into an EU socket! (I bought it for use in continental Europe). But it fits into a UK power plug adaptor I have for use with UK appliances, it's a special shaver-only UK plug standard (apparently "BS 4573 (UK shaver)" - you can look it up on Wikipedia). The charger is apparently interchangeable with other Braun shavers (if those shavers are marked accordingly) but comes with a straight cord, whereas my previous one was slinky, which was more comfortable to use when shaving while plugged in. P&G support (which owns the Braun brand it appears) told me the old charger is not compatible with the new shaver despite the output current and the connector being exactly the same, which is a shame, because my old charger was for EU sockets. I wish they made the chargers standard, interchangeable and optional to reduce the amount of electric waste.

Great handheld shaver I still have the old model this is the same one only new The blades are comfortable and give a great smooth close shave very happy with this electric razor

Great shaver, but replacement heads cost far too much!

I have had a little hiccup with that one, I've not used a shaver before and I wanted to use it on 10mm facial hair. It refused to work and after reading manual, and trying few different angles and pressure levels I decided to give manufacturer a call. Surprisingly I got connected to a human (Damen) and he explained to me the need of trimming my beard first. Did that, then used this product, it wasn't super fast and I had to go like 10-15 times through tough spots but eventually my beard is gone. Good thing about it is that it's cordless and super easy to clean. It's also quite cheap, so can't really expect miracles, but I bought that brand as I've heard a lot of good words about them. I'd rate product 4 stars, but I was impressed with customer support so here you go, 5 stars. Well deserved.

got it because I hate shaving. But the down side for me was it would of been quicker to have wet shaved. I had a three or four day growth, yes it shaved it. But not with ease, had to work with it. Well I have now had it two weeks and it hasn't got better. I have persisted with it but it has let me down. It should leave me with a shaved face the same as a wet razor, but it hasn't. I would move the stars too two if I could.

I have not had this long enough to comment on the battery life, but it seems a well-made device that gives a reasonable shave. The replacement heads seem pricey, but I suspect by the time I need one the battery will have packed up. No travel case, but there is a cover for the foil head so it should be fine to travel in a wash-bag. No beard-trimmer, so if that is important to you better look elsewhere. I do not like the proprietary charging-lead as I tend to lose things like this, but that's just me.

Genial va perfectamente es justo lo que necesitaba

جيدة جدا وتعمل بكفاءة

Didn't shave sadly. Not on my teenage newly started shaving or my husband average bristles.having to return

Comme toujours , Braun propose de très bons rasoirs électriques , et celui ci ne fait pas exception à la règle , il est très efficace sur les poils longs ainsi que les courts , et il n’irrite pas la peau , ce qui n’est pas le cas de tous les rasoirs électriques ! Je recommande fortement cette marque !

Qualität ok, gutes Zubehör, Preis-Leistung ok. Benutze den Artikel schon lange und bin sehr zufrieden.
