The best electric shaver that I have ever had hands down!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon receiving the Braun® Series 3-3040 for free in the mail to review I immediately tore open the package to charge it and get to shaving! While waiting patiently for the shaver to charge two things caught my attention while reading the package. The first was the fact that it is able to be used dry, wet or wet with actual shaving cream, and the second being the trimmer that is attached to it. The anticipation of the functionality of this shaver was more than I could handle, and boy did it deliver. The attached trimmer, unlike the trimmers on other electric shavers that I have used in the past, works like a dream! I always have mostly a full beard and use a secondary beard trimmer in conjunction with a shaver, with the Braun® Series 3-3040 I am no longer in need of two tools. The other great thing about the Braun® Series 3-3040 is the fact that it can be used wet or dry. This is an amazing fete in itself. Using this shaver dry doesn't get 100% of the stubble, but, if you get the remaining stubble wet the Braun® Series 3-3040 rids the neck of the rest of what is left behind. Lastly the contouring foils are much better than the standard stationary foils on other shavers. There is virtually no razor burn due to the mobility of the parts. All around this razor comes with my highest of recommendations of any and all razors that I have ever used. I will happily continue to use the Braun® Series 3-3040 weekly and I will continue to sing its praises.

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

Solid Foil Shaver, If a Bit Large

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before receiving the Braun Series 3-3040 I was using a Panasonic ES-SA40, which in its own right was a solid shaver. The main pros that the Braun shaver have going for it are most notably the power and 3-foil head. This thing will cut through pretty much any hair it can find, and will do so cleanly, leaving a nearly razor-smooth shave. On the downside, though, the Braun shaver's head is about an inch thick, making it a little bulky for trimming any narrow areas, and essentially reduces it to a single-foil shaver. Overall, the Braun Series 3-3040 is a great shaver, and though the power and multi-foil design more than make up for the bulk, it's still a bit on the pricey side.

Awesome Shaver Braun :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this is a great Electric Shaver. I was to excited to be part of this campaign. After receiving the shaver I was happy to find it charged and ready to use straight out of the box. After giving it a try I was pleasantly surprised on how good it worked. I did have to go over a few spots twice but after I was done my face felt really smooth just about as smooth as a manual razor. It was nice that it didn't snag my hair or irritate my skin which other electric razors have done in the past. It also has a nice little trimmer on the back for sideburns and stuff. The charge lasts about a week depending on how often you are using it witch I thought was great. It's also very easy to clean just pop the head of the razor off and brush it with the brush they sent in the box it only takes a couple minutes. Overall this is a great Electric Razor by Braun. I would highly recommend it.

Close shave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Braun does a pretty job of giving you a razor close shave without the mess of cream or the expensive cost of razors. I received the Braun series 3 razor for free from Braun to try out. It does however seem to pull more than cut if you have coarse hair that is longer than stubble. The little trimmer attachment is really handy for clean up on tough areas or shaping too. It's gave a good close shave after I used my older trimmer to shorten my facial hair a bit and it seemed to stop pulling and cut well. I was pretty impressed and see no reason I would ever have to buy razors and shaving cream again. Although, I like the fact I can use cream with the razor if I see fit.

Close Shave, Loud, but still have razor bumps
on October 12, 2015

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this as a free trial to review the product. At first the box didn't look very appealing as a consumer. I didn't expect much from the cover of the box but needed to give it a shot anyway. The packaging inside the box was very simple: Styrofoam with the razor, cap, brush, ac adapter, and manual. I guess I expected something fancy since you're purchasing an electric razor.
However when using it as a dry shave and shaving the same spot 2 to 3 times, the shave was pretty good. There are some stubble and razor bumps, but the shave is pretty decent. The bumps may be better when shaven wet I believe. However, the shave was not as smooth as compared to the Panasonic Arc series. I would definitely recommend those over these. These are quite loud and solid, but it still gives me a sense that it's cheap.

Great electric shaver!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really think this is my favorite electric shaver ever. I've had problems in the past with electric shavers giving my neck razor burn but haven't had any since receiving my free Braun Series 3. The trimmer on the back side is great as well to get through the longer stuff before going to a close shave. Thumbs up from me here!

Great Razor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this is such a great razor. It lasts for a long time. I was able to shave my face and my head without it even hinting at dying out. Im very pleased with how smooth this razor left my face and head feeling. Thank you from Braun for allowing me to test such a great product.
