Very sleek and light but sturdy. Simple looks and explains clearly exactly what your getting in the box and what the product itself is. So far so good. upon opening the box and removing all the packaging etc you end up with a very sleek foil shaver with a lovely professional feel, plenty of grip even in wet conditions. There is an adaptive plug, so the shaver can be used on a 240v or a 100v supply which is very handy for traveling with, and once charged you just pop out the lead and voila a cordless shaver. Also included is a cleaning brush and a protective cap to protect the foil shaving head, and a protective case. The shaving head is easily detached making cleaning a doddle, the brush is handy although not entirely necessary and being quite stiff if you have thicker hair it tends to move it around rather then brush it away. The first thing i did when i opened it was to plug it in and charge it up which I did as I went shopping so unsure as to how long the full charge actually took, but as yet it has been in use for a week and a half daily and I haven't had to charge it back up again. Battery life so far is fantastic for my usage thanks to the long life battery supplied (or should I say inbuilt). The instructions claim an hour charging should give 20 minutes shave time, or five min quick charge should be enough for one shave but so far mine has exceeded this. The unit itself is 5m waterproof, meaning you could drop it in the sink and have very little to worry about which is an added bonus. on reading the instructions and warranty info i noticed it actually comes with a 2 year warranty rather than the standard year. Now its time to mention the usage. there's literally one button - On or Off. the rest of the unit is automatic,meaning very simple to use, the 3 way shaving head is fully adjustable to contours in your face which it does easily as you glide it around. I have used foil shavers for a couple of years now and find myself going over the same 'tough to shave' areas several times to get a really smooth shave, using this series 3 i found that visually the shave looked fantastic after just one or two pass overs. It was still slightly rough in patches but on the whole a very quick shave leaving me looking acceptably smooth. Going over a few more times and it was smooth which I have found to be the standard with most foil shavers, including my old series seven which cost a fair bit of money more than this unit does. For the price its a very very good shaver. I have used better foil shavers before, but I had to pay a lot more for them. I have also used other shavers in a similar price bracket to this one and they were awful. The Braun brand as a whole I have found to be fantastic when it comes to foil shavers and this one doesn't disappoint when you consider the price. The series 3 is a very good shave at a very good price and comes with plenty of extras so you can take it away with you or use it at home daily like myself. Highly recommended product

This feels comfortable in the hand and is easy to grip in different ways making the whole shaving experience much better. The twin foils and cutter in the middle give a good clean cut that's close to the skin. The shaver itself charges quickly and holds enough charge for a few shaves so battery life is excellent. The foil heads are easily removed making cleaning nice and easy. The only real downside I have found is that there is no trimmer function. Usually I would use this to trim my sideburns but without this it isn't so easy to get that clean and dead straight line I like. All in all, a great product!

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] Over many years I have struggled with shaving rash from a wet shave, toyed with trimmers and just had stubble and tried a number of electric shavers. This is the best electric shaver I have used by far. Taking a week's growth down to a close shave was a little time consuming, but after that a daily shave was quick and easy. No irritation and no struggle to get a close shave. It's light and easy to handle and the battery lasts well. I'd recommend this to anyone who has suffered similar dilemmas to me in the past and wants to start with a good value electric shaver. There is one enhancement that I would suggest, which is available on the slightly upgraded version (still in the series 3)... The trimmer on the rear would be useful for tidying sideburns and catching weird ingrowing hairs, so probably worth paying a touch extra for.

Its very difficult to be blown away by the quality of shave when you're used to a cutthroat, but for something you can use whilst getting dressed, making coffee and running out the door, its very good and i didn't find myself going over the same area over and over. If wet shaving isn't your thing or you don't have time, this is a really good option. I used an electric pre-shave but also tried without and its pretty smooth and comfortable without. The battery life was better than i expected and charging time isn't excessive. It's also a light shaver, easy to handle and use. My own personal preference is to wet shave with a straight razor, but if i'm on a business trip or a weekend away, this is in my bag and i'd probably get another for my desk drawer in the office just in case!

I have been using it for about 2 weeks now and feel like I can give a fair evaluation of it. I'll start by pointing out some of the negatives. I am only mentioning these to give a full picture, by no means are these deal breakers, or in any way true annoyances. - My first impression was that the razor does tug at your facial hair, which can be a little uncomfortable. My conclusion after using it for a few days was that it is really best used as an every day razor and only for very short (i.e. one day) beard growth. This way it keeps the tugging to a minimum. - The unit vibrates a fair bit in your hand. Personally, this is not a problem for me, but may be a consideration, if this sort of thing bothers you. - I found that you have to go over the same area quite a few times to get a completely clean shave. I think this is an issue inherent with foil shavers though, and shouldn't be a problem unless you have particularly sensitive skin. Now the good bits! - The Braun 300s gives a very close and clean shave, almost on a par with a wet shave! - It's completely washable, so no need for messy brushes, just pop the blade attachment off, rinse with water and let it dry. Very convenient! - It seems to have a long battery life, only charged it once when I got it, and haven't needed to recharge in over 2 weeks with pretty much daily use! In conclusion, I am happy with the device and will probably continue using it for a long time, especially as I usually sport a 3-4 day stubble look, so the Braun is great as a complimentary razor to shave everything below the jaw line to give that clean, well groomed look. Equally, I would not have a problem using it for an alternative to wet shaving for a daily full clean shave.

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] The product is quite simple, in the box you get the shave with a protective cap, the charger and instruction manual. The protective cap does it's job also acts a bit of a length trimmer as if you're look to just trim your beard or top lip. without the cap it cuts quite well have to go over the place once or twice to get a clean shave (depending on length of your beard) it charges really quick has a green light at the front below the buttom to show its full. button is simple press to start press to stop. its water proof so using in the shower is handy.

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] I opened the box to find that there was no 3 pin plug for me to charge the shaver. It was a continental 2 pin. I started to shave and felt a little bit of pulling on the longer hairs. After I had shaved the longer hairs with a manual razor, i started again with the shaver and it felt smoother. So I think that it is more beneficial for short stubble rather than abit longer beards. Although it gave me a good shave, it is a little loud and bulky compared to other branded razors/shavers.

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] I really like the box combined with a great choice of colours. The shaver is easy to grip and very easy to operate. The charging indicator is very easy and straight forward to follow also its quick to charge and with the shaver being waterproof it is easy to clean. Unfortunately, this doesn't come with any cleaning brush which would make cleaning a bit more easier. The shaver struggles with long hair more suited for stubble consider adding a small trimmer to solve this problem.
