CUTSSSSSSSS
on October 30, 2015
Posted by: xarielalfarox

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was way excited when I way excited when I found out I was getting the Braun Series 3 for free from Braun®. I've always been a fan of Braun products. When I got the shaver it came in a nice package with the basic things the shaver, power cord, and manual. Nothing to fancy. I was actually really impressed by the color of the shaver. The construction was really nice. The plastic felt strong, not flimsy or weak. The middle part of the foil was a disappointment since it was plastic though. Overall seemed liked a solid shaver.
On my first shave I decided to try it out by doing a dry shave. I was extremely disappointed by the shave. The series 3 didn't cut my hair right away. I had to go over it a few times, and it still didn't cut all my facial hair. I ended up using a different shaver to finish off that day.
Second shave I decided to try a wet shave since the box says "wet and dry." I actually ended up getting a lot of cuts around my face and a lot of irritation when I used the wet shave. I was way annoyed by how much it cut me. I ended up finishing up with a safety razor.
In conclusion I wouldn't recommend this shaver to a friend. It takes forever to shave since you need to go over ones face so much and a high possibility of cut and irritation. I would honestly have them save the money for a better shaver that actually give a satisfying shaver.

Lacks Quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product works to get started, but differently not finish a shave. It leaves spots, pulls hair, and is kind of rough. I was not impressed, nor would I recommend the product. Sad since I was excited once I found out I was chosen to test the product. Overall, a bad taste in my mouth with the brand.

Smooth Face

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Braun® Series 3 razor was a super fast shave that gave a nice smooth look. I have sensitive skin on my face and I have problems with skin rashes when I use a disposable razor. This did not harm my face at all, there was no reactions to this razor. I really enjoyed using the razor. I have had different electric razors in the past, but the hair would clog it up and the razor wore out quite fast. I haven't have any issues with this razor so far, and don't see any forseeable issues. So far, so good. I'll keep you posted. #GotItFree

Fast and painless shave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just shaved with this Braun3 and love it. Usually I get minor cuts even with shavers,but with this shaver the story was another. I shaved fast, no cuts, no irritation, easy going on dificult places. The best of all the easy way to clean it. Love the rechargable system since it last a lot. So if your looking for an electric shaver this is the one.

Good shave
on October 19, 2015

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Braun Series 2 for two weeks now and I have noticed it works great on a two to three day old beard, but not on a week old beard. If you use this shaver every other day it cuts through the stubble with no problem and you only need to run it over your face a few times to get a nice close shave. If you let your beard grow past three days then the shaver starts to struggle at cutting the hair. There is pulling and you have to run the shaver over your face ten to twenty times and even then there are patches of long hair left behind. This is a great daily shaver, but if you are like me and like to go a week in between shaves then the razor blade and shaving cream is the better option. The Braun is easy to clean and does charge up fast which is very nice. The led battery indicator is a nice touch and takes the guess work out of when to know when to charge it. The Braun Series 3 is a very nice well made razor that is the perfect daily shaver. I highly recommend this shaver if you shave daily or a few times a week.

Great shaver!

from Corbin, KY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited about getting this campaign from Braun to try out the Braun Series 3-3040 for free. I have a smaller trimmer that I used before I shaved to make it easier, but with this shaver I didn't even need to use the trimmer before hand. The Braun Shaver gives me a clean cut and my wife loves how smooth it leaves my face, especially since I'm actually keeping my face shaved now that it's so easy.
This shaver also has a good weight and size to it and feels well made not cheap. And I also liked that it was already charged and ready to use when it arrived. I would definitely buy this shaver knowing what I know now.

Sadly, not the product for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I learned that I was invited to join this Bzz Campaign, I was excited; shaving is one of those necessary activities I dread, so I was really hoping this product would help curb my shaving frustration. Unfortunately, that was not the case at all.
The product description stated that this razor was better at providing a close shave at the outset, thereby reducing friction, which would prove beneficial to people with sensitive skin. The first time I used this razor, I quickly learned that it was not going to be the product for me.
While this razor did in fact do a great job at providing a smooth shave for maybe 25% of my face, the other 75% proved difficult and painful in an attempt to get the same smoothness. The most difficult area was my under-chin and neck area.
Once I was done (i.e., once I had finally given up), I still had areas on my face where hair remained and my entire neck area was red and irritated -- that was the case even with shaving gel I had used.
In all fairness, my facial hair is pretty thick and seems to grow in very odd directions, so even using a regular bladed razor causes consternation when trying to get a nice, clean shave. Taking those facts into consideration, I can't really blame this new razor for my experience; however, I DO wish I could find an electric razor that actually works on my face.
In conclusion, while this razor didn't work for me, I would still recommend it to anyone whose facial hair is thinner / lighter and grows in a "normal" direction. Based on the 25% of my face where this razor worked, it did a great job and provided the type of shave that the manufacturer described.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Braun® Series 3-3040 is the best shave ever. I know this product will last for many years to come. I had no problems using the the shaver. What I like most is it charges fast and last a long time on a single charge.
