Braun Series 3 shaver
on October 27, 2015
Posted by: NDMedic
from Bismarck, ND
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using it in the shower, which I love. I do like the shaver in comparison to the previous rotatry type electric that i had before. Yes it takes more passes than a razor, yes it does give more razor burn when dry shaving than a razor. But overall the series 3 shaver is a good use shaver. I don't shave every day so the 3 day stubble does work better than trying to use the shaver on a daily basis. It also gives my skin time to acclimate to the use of electric on a regular basis. I like the ergonomic feel and form of the shaver while using in the shower. The battery life is substantial. I have used it several times without recharging. It definitely will replace the old electric shaver i used to use. I don't think that it will replace the standard everyday hand shaver that i use, as the time for use is a bit longer. Unless i choose to use it during the shower, and with the cold weather setting in, that may occur more frequently. This shaver appears to be well build and i expect it will last many years. I am quite impressed with this middle of the price range shaver. Great value buy for those who need to get into an electric shaver.

good in a pinch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this product works well. I don't get the close shave that I would like. However I was on a campout and took it. It works well when you don't have the chance to use a regular razor. I have tried both the wet and dry mode and I thing the wet works better. The long hair clipper was good for trimming my mustache.

First impressions... pretty underwhelmed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This will be my initial reactions to the Braun series 3. I have not used it long term. Additionally there is a break in period for each person when it comes to an electric shaver, if one has been using a normal bladed razor. This is due to the change between wet shaving and dry shaving. Which, Dry shaving can be irritating to one's skin.
Anyway, Onward!

Design / Construction / Materials
4/5
It looks really nice. It fit really well in your hand. It feels very natural to use. Almost like a very large bladed razor. Handle is super bright blue, which is nice. High quality materials, overall, pretty nice.

First shave
1/5
Note: This was a wet shave, with shaving cream, per the packaging, you can wet shave with this device. So I did.

The photo on this review is from the initial wet shave, and I can tell you I did NOT like it at all. I started with about a week+ beard, which for me is like a 3 day beard. I used the clipper end to de-bulk, which worked pretty well. Then I applied the shave gel, and begun the 'normal' process of shaving.
It was pretty bad. Hairs were pulled. Hairs were not cut. I went over areas several times without being able to remove the hair. It was very frustrating for a shaver of this quality/price. I expected a lot better. I ended up having to 'finish' the shave with a traditional bladed (disposable) razor.
I am not sure how else to explain it. The shaver did not clean hair from my face as any razor/shaver should.

Shave 2
3/5
This went a little better, I dry shaved for this one after about a day. I had barely stubble, which the shaver seemed to do fine with. Marked as 3/5 due to the irritation the blades cause, which truly is 'normal-ish' but when you have an option to wet shave, and you cannot due to the shaver not handling it well, you dock stars off.
pretty basic normal shave. Apply lotion afterwards to ease irritation. W00t

The Grandpa shave
My father in law who was visiting (and conveniently forgot his shaver) needed to shave his starting Santa beard (he grows face-hair much faster). He hated it. It definitely could not debulk his hair with the clipper ends. He tried to clean shave after using my beard trimmers to debulk, and again, same complaint. Hair gets pulled, pinched, and irritated. The shaver does not handle the thicker hair. Another complain my father-in-law mentioned, was that with his shaver, the pucks collect most of the hair for him, where the Braun did not. He ended up having a ton of hair on him, after shaving. Short story, he did not like it at all.
Cleaning and maintenance
4/5
4/5
This is actually not too bad. Device holds a pretty decent charge. It feels really durable. It is super easy to clean. Does not have the crevasses to collect hair and filth like other shavers. Overall I would say this aspect is pretty good.
Final thoughts.
I am pretty mixed on this. I feel like I need another couple of days/shaves before I make my final decisions. The shaver does work with minor stubble, and as with any dry shaver, one does need to give some time, for ones skin to get used to it.

I will likely update this review with my final thoughts, after I give it a bit more time.

New to electric shavers, enjoy it quite a bit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never used an electric razor before. It has taken a little while to figure out the best way to use this razor, but once I figured it out I like it a lot. At first the results were inconsistent. Some times, the shave would feel closer than I ever expected an electric razor would get - very smooth. Other times it would leave me with random hair and I would have to break out my manual razor. Now that I have the technique down, the razor gets just as close as my manual razor but its much easier and I don't have to shop for new razor blades which is a huge plus. I am enjoying using the Braun Series 3 shaver quite a bit.

Fast, Clean Shave
on October 18, 2015

from Dayton, KY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to hate shaving. Hated it. So I rarely did it much to my girlfriend's dismay. Now thanks to the Braun Series 3, I can get a fast clean shave in every morning without wasting any time. And I don't have to worry about nicking my face and worrying about bleeding on my work shirts. I don't know who is more happier with this razor - my self or my girlfriend. I think it is safe to say that we both love it. I love that I don't have to worry about having spare batteries on hand, I can just charge it and it be ready to go in the morning. I like that I don't have to worry about shaving cream. I like that I can use it in the shower or out of the shower. Excellent shaver in my opinion.

Braun Serious takin care of business

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The moment I received this product to try from Braun, I was super excited. Starting with the box made you feel like you were getting a top-of-the-line product. I opened the box to pull out razor and WOW! This thing is NICE. Very nice, the overall look and feel of the razor is just amazing. I was just hoping that the razor was going to work as good as it looked.
Let me just tell you, this razor is perfect for what I need it for. It gets rid of the stuble and cleans my face up real nice. I donât think I would recommend using it while have a full beard and expect it to get rid of that. But using it for the day or two after you first shave is great. I love it! It also travels well and is made very durable
