It's hardly a surprise they are the world's No.1 foil shaver brand. Their new series 3 shave has a clever 3 pressure-sensitive shaving system which improves the efficiency of the shaving process. And also ensures maximum skin comfort. It uses SensoFoil, which protects your skin from the ultra-sharp blades. The batteries don't run out easily due to the long-life NiMH batteries which are rechargeable and you get provided with 2. It is built in a durable fashion, cordless and even waterproof for up to 5 metres. Perfect for those clumsy gentleman who might drop their shaver into the sink. You can rinse the shaver easily under warm water. You won't use any other brand after using this Braun shaver.

For years I was a wet, manual shave kind of guy but found I was replacing the blade every week to keep the shave close and clean. So for this reason I decided to get an electric. To date I've had 3. The first was cheap and therefore terrible. It basically pulled the hairs out and missed a quarter of them. The next was good, powerful but the battery lasted 2 shaver at most. Then i got the Series 3. When I first picked it up, I thought it felt a bit light and may not be powerful enough to provide a proper shave. However I charged it up and gave it a go and it was fantastic. It was so quick and gave such a clean and smooth shave I was very impressed My previous shavers I've had to go over bits time and time again to ensure all the hairs were gone but with this it took 1 slow movement to ensure it was done. Even the tricky to get top lip was easy as the design of the shaver made it easy with no pain at all. The best part is the cleaning. Just run it under a tap and that's it. No needing to brush it clean. The battery has lasted hours so far on one charge so very happy. Overall I would fully recommend this shaver, it's ideal and a great price.

Its chunky and robust but light weight and feels good to hold and feels very well made. It gives a very close shave which I was impressed with as I've had electric razors in the past that have left patchy stubble. It does however have it's drawbacks hence the 4/5 score, it doesn't handle longer stubble well so to truly get the most out of this shaver make sure you to clipper longer beard hair before shaving. It does have some awesome features however which redeem it like it being fully waterproof so can be used in the shower. In the box you get the shaver, protective cap and a charger cable.

It provides an extremely close shave that I think rivals a manual blade. The battery life is good. I've had six shaves so far without needing to recharge it. The three pressure sensitive shaving elements means even someone as useless as me can easily use it to get a very nice shave. It's even impressive after you've finished shaving. It's waterproof, so can be washed straight under the tap. I believe it can even be used to shave while it the shower, but I haven't been brave enough to try that! The "smart plug" is a very nice added bonus. It can be used in 100-240 voltage plugs, so is ideal for a travel shaver as it can be used all over the world in any plug. There are a couple of negatives however that stop me from giving it five out of five. Firstly I couldn't use it with a long beard. I found it struggled with the long hairs and ended up pulling at them which was unpleasant. A quick once over from my trimmer however, and it was good to go. Finally I was a bit disappointing that it didn't come with a bag to store it all in, especially as it would be ideal as a travel shaver with the 100-240 voltage plug.

Certainly more than a few days growth, which I expect is more the "norm". The packaging was nice and stylish, everything was presented well and arrived safely. The device itself was very minimalist in its design; a simple on/off button and a power/charging indicator light. It felt nice and light in my hand, perfect for taking on trips without weighing you down, yet enough weight to feel solidly built. The shave it gave was incredible, especially when you consider the cost of the device, it performed at least as well as a shaver that cost 10x the amount! The shave was very close, very rapid and completely without irritating my skin. Cleaning it was a breeze thanks to it being a simple washable shaver, a quick run under the tap and it was spotless. Though I did note that if needed the blades could be separated and cleaned a bit more thoroughly. All in all, for the price it really can't be faulted, sure you can pay 10x more and get self cleaning shavers, etc. but for a great portable and performing shaver, look no further!

It is a standard box with some green and black design and a picture of the shaver on the front...yey. On opening the box and pulling the tray out, everything has its place in the packaging. You get the shaver, foil guard and power lead. The power lead is a nice coiled, springy cable that you can extend slightly if required. Holding the shaver, it is nicely weighted, not too heavy that it would be too much to take on your travels but heavy enough to give you confidence in its build quality. There are good quality plastics around the edge with a grippy rubber going through the middle, front and back. Operating the shaver was simple with an on/off button and a battery indicator on the front. When I switched it on, there was quite a loud buzzing, that could certainly be heard outside of a closed door. The vibration of the device is minimal. Shaving with the Braun is simple, mainly thanks to it balanced weight. The only quibble was that I had to go over the same spot numerous times before it got rid of the hair right down to my skin level, we are not talking about a really long beard either, about a centimetre or so long. This did cause me to have some skin irritation on my neck after I had finished. The finished product was quite good. A nice close shave and it did, eventually, get rid of all my beard. Cleaning the product was less awkward that the shave. I just ran it under the tap and rubbed it with my finger tip. Most of the hair fell out just with the water. To sum up, a nicely, packaged, well made and balanced product.

A five minute charge is sufficient for a shave if you accidentally left it to discharge. It give a good close shave similar to all electric shavers, which is not as close as a wet shave but given the convenience and speed is very good. With this, and all electric shavers I've owned, this means that a second shave is needed if you are going out in the evening and have a dark beard. This Braun does the job really well and for a really good price - not much more than it would cost to buy a few packs of wet-shave blades, and almost the same as a replacement foil if you already own an electric shaver. An issue to keep in mind if you do switch from wet shave to electric. Don't scrub hard with foil shavers like this Braun; instead, move the shaver lightly over the stubble back and forth. Heavy pressure doesn't help and will bend the foils. If you still find it not shaving you properly, don't give up on electric. You might have the kind of beard that responds best to the different Philishave system. With these I've found that a circular hard scrubbing pressure works well - which is something you just can't do with foil shavers. Both work well for me and the Braun is much lighter and smaller - so gets my vote.

It's not perfect, and having tried it on various days worth of beard growth anything over 3 days is pretty uncomfortable, but, if you shave everyday or every couple of days then this is ideal. So much less faff than wet shaving with a lot less mess especially with it being so easy to clean, just run it under the tap! Not only is it quicker, cleaner and less hassle than wet shaving it's also far more cost effective when you consider the cost of decent razors. So overall I'd very much recommend giving this a go.

There is about £200 difference in price between the two. The cut is just as smooth and close. It just doesn't clean itself etc. If I want something to take on holiday or a short trip this is perfect for the price too. I would rate the Braun series of shavers to anyone. But the 7 just beats the 3 because of the detail cutters and cleaning station that's it. I would still say I would rather a three pin plug as I still find it difficult in this day and age to find a shaver socket anywhere. I really like the look to this shaver too. They are starting to look a little futuristic and snazzy. The grip is great and very ergonomic. Go and try one at this low price and step up to the better ones.
