Close comfortable shave
on October 26, 2015

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to clean; easy to use. I love the fact that I don't have to shave twice to get a close shave. It fits very good in the palm of your hand. The Braun Series 3-3040 gives a close shave without nicking the neck. Very comfortable. I am able to get many shaves on a single charge I recommend this razor to others, especially if you want a comfortable shave. It Really helps when this was free from Braun to try out.

Unbelievable Foil Shaver!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this shaver for about a month now. I was very hesitant at first since I was always using only a manual shaver. Each time I use this shaver, which is about once or twice a week, it gets more and more comfortable and easier to use. The charge on this shaver lasts a very long time and I do not have to plug it in too often. It is extremely easy to use, it feels great and after I'm done shaving I look great. I could not be happier with this shaver and I would highly recommend this to ANYBODY that shaves. It is the perfect foil shaver!!

A Great Disappointment
on October 27, 2015
Posted by: swim716laps
from Niagara Falls, NY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After having a poor experience the first time I used the product, I did not want to give up on it, hoping I would have a better experience under different circumstances. The first time using this product, I had shaved dry, in the morning after having not shaved for 24 hours. The razor left my face with patches of hair and extreme irritation from having to repeatedly shave the same areas over and over. I ended up having to use a regular razor and shaving cream to clean up the mess. The next time I tested the product was after I had already shaved for the day. I have a heavy beard and a noticeable 5:00 shadow at the end of a work day. I decided to use the product to touch up my 5:00 shadow. Once again, the product failed to meet my expectations. It does not cut the hair consistently, leaving stray hairs and patches unshaven. In addition to the poor performance, the shaver makes a mess. It does not hold the hair clippings very well because upon finishing, the sink is covered in trimmings. I would not recommend traveling with this product or using on the go as it will make a mess in your car, suitcase, etc.

Braun Series 3 shaver
on October 27, 2015

[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 But Not Amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I really wanted to love this razor. The packaging is amazing, and straight out of the box the razor feels substantial and well-built. The little trimming accessory is a great touch and works really well. The razor itself however is good, but not great. It can take several passes for it to remove all of the stubble on your face if you have more than a day or two of growth. If you are an everyday shaver this razor will likely be a great fit for you, but if you are lazy or slack on shaving daily (as I often do) then you may have better success with a different product. I will say though of any razor I have ever used, this provides the closest shave and left my skin feeling soft for a long time.

Good Shaver but can't beat my crazy hairs!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall this is the best electric shaver I have used. I must start of with saying my beard/hairs grow every which way. The shaver does a good job fast, but as the pictures illustrate I still can't get the close shave I want.
I still start with an electric shave and follow up with a quick wet shave with a 5 blade razor. So again overall nice razor if your face allows it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just recieved the Braun® Series 3-3040 from Braun for free to try. The trimmer is excellent . The shaver works perfect. It gives you a good smooth shave. I like the rechargeable convience of it and you can take it with you if you're in a hurry.

Supreme Shaver
on October 29, 2015

from Tucson, AZ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first time ever using an electric shaver. I found it to be spectacular. It gives you a very close shave, and also features a trimmer, which comes in handy for sideburns, mustache and beard trimming. When I use it, I prefer to shave my face completely. It is very comfortable on the skin. I have a sensitive face, and this Braun shaver leaves me completely comfortable. From here on out, this will be my only tool fit shaving my face. Goodbye to standard razors. I highly recommend this product.
