Quite surprised with this one...
3Here we have the Braun S3 Shave & Style. The shaver comes nicely boxed and includes a precision trimmer head, 5 trimming comb attachments, a smart plug, small brush for cleaning your shaving and a little bag to keep the attachments in. The Braun S3 can be used for either a dry shave or you can also wet shave with this, which I personally think is a good thing. The shaver fits comfortably in the hand and has a good non slip grip, obviously useful for when using in the shower etc. Shaver heads are easy to switch over, just pull off and clip on. The comb attachments simply just slide over the top of the precision trimmer attachment. The first photo shows the length of my facial hair before I used the shaver. I started with the number 1 comb, which did do the job, but it does take a while to trim and you may need to go over it a couple of times to get an even trim. I've used a few beard trimmers in the past and never got on with them as found them to pull the hair rather than cut. However this was a smooth a trim with the Braun S3. (Second photo is after trim). So ok if not in a rush, otherwise it would be back to using my hair clippers, which would take less than a minute. As for the full shave with the Braun S3 (Photo 3) I did find that using this with a wet shave was a little better and smoother on my face than the dry shave. I was actually surprised at how well it did with the shaving, left my face smoother than anticipated. Although like most electric shavers you do need to go over the face a couple of times. All in all this is one of the better shavers that I've used, but not sure if it would replace my hair clippers, as I don't normally fully shave. But other than that no major complaints at all with this one.

Most of what man needs
4I tried to upload the picture but I cant attach anything so it might be some system issue. I have a small beard and zi am clean shaven on the sides. Thats why it was so good to get this campaign as I use electric shaver for trimming my beard and shaving my sides. The first thing which came to my mind was a question - can I use it for both? Would it be better then my standart shaver which I am using now? Is Braun going to deliver on its promise? I opened the package and I saw very smart box full of items. Thats what I noticed - attachments, combs, shaver and shaver head. Plus a pouch which is a bonus - however I would be deligthed with some sort of box to keep my shaver secure. Shaver itself looks modern and its easy to hold. I charged it and started using it. It would be nice of Braun to put milimetres on combs so I know what lentgh do I get. Apart from that - pleasant easy shave. And I can confirm that electric shaver is not as good as manual but at least there is no blood. It is more then enough for my shaving - my hair are not thick so it doesn'ttake much to get rid of them. In terms of trimming - as I said lenght would be helpfull but still job was done. Its not extra sharp but I did not expect it to be. I shared my Braun experience with my friend at work - his beard is long and thick so I told him I have new trimmers in case he wants to get rid of it. After all - I would say medium level shaver. Does the job. Keeps the battery life. Looks cool. Its not top range but I dont think it meant to be. Goid enough for me anyway. And is definately waterproof as I tried!!!

A product spec that just doesn't deliver
2So here we have the Braun S3 Shave&Style. It comes well packaged with a manual the size of a good novel, however the instructions are lacking to say the least. As one of the primary functions is to style and trim, it would have been nice to know what length the combs cut to. It also covers several models so tells you about all the great features you may have, but also were sadly missing from this model. The first thing you notice is how it feels in your hand. It's sturdy and has a good weight to it and feels well constructed. I've trialled a waterproof shaver before that I just felt I couldn't use in the shower, but this device instantly gives you the confidence that it's waterproof and semi-ruggidised. The interchangable head feels solid and secure, yet easy to switch between shaving and trimming/styling. I typically trim my stubble with facial clippers although do usually wet shave with a manual razor, so I was excited to try out this shaver and test out it's functions. The device itself charges quickly and on paper has a fantastic battery life! Sadly for me this is where the excitement ends. The first test was to try the clippers to trim well over a week's facial hair growth, to get it down to a level I could try shaving. I put on the smallest comb onto the clippers, and it just didn't cut well. What would normally take a few minutes to sort my entire face took well over 10 minutes, and it wasn't an even clip and it just didn't look or feel good. With this in mind I used my clippers to shave to 0.4mm to make it easier to shave. I then took the comb off of this Braun shaver to leave the raw "style" head, to tidy up my sideburns. To my shock, it just didn't work as I'd expect. I really struggled to shave and style my facial hair, and it just wasn't cutting. It didn't dig in or cut or harm me, it just didn't cut my hair!! I did try a few more times with the attachments and combs, but after the third try I gave up. This device for me does not style. So. Onto the shave. I'm not a huge fan of foil razors but I wanted to give it a fair shot. The first dry shave felt nice on my face, although some areas needed going over a few times to get the shave I wanted. It left my neck patchy at best, and even taking meticulous time to try to shave it all, it failed. I needed to follow up afterwards with a normal razor to get the parts it couldn't reach. So, I waited a few days to try the wet shave. This is sadly an experience that just felt wrong, using an electric device with foam and water. I didn't feel the need initially to use foam on this razor, and it didn't seem to help the performance. My face was still left fairly averagely shaved and the neck was still patchy. The only difference was having to clean the shaver head and mess around cleaning and drying it sufficiently. Shaving after trying 2 wet shaves made me add a bit of clipper oil to it, I'm not convinced the head is truly designed to wet shave. The manual does mention using clipper oil, but this is hastle for me. Does this device work for me? No. Sadly if I had bought this I would be disappointed and would be looking to buy another shaver. It's great in concept but the style heads just fundamentally do not work. Would I reccommend it to a friend? Sadly absolutely not. Would it work for you? Well other reviews seem to sing about the device, but I am not sure how genuine these are based on my experiences and if it were due to them getting the device for free to test. My low rating on this product is sadly due to half of the device just not doing as expected, not even managing to style on a mediocre level. It's a shame, as a standalone razor I'm sure it's a fairly good device just not for my skin/hair type. But, the style just completely lets it down. 3 in 1? No. It's a 1 with 2 other features that work poorly. Sorry Braun, for me this device was a complete letdown and is not the quality I expect from such a strongly positioned brand name.

Great bit of kit
4Right the grooming kit has arrived so what do you get? On first glance the packaging is good and the instructions for use are easy to follow. Included in the box is a trimming attachment, five combs of different lengths 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 5mm and 7mm, a plastic guard for the foil razor, a cleaning brush, a power adapter and a storage bag for the combs The shaver itself is sleek in design and looks good in your hand and is lightweight. One early potential problem for some is that the plug to charge the grooming kit is for electric plugs found in bathrooms. Unfortunately I don't have one of these plugs in my bathroom. I had this problem with a previous shaver so already had an adapter I bought for this one. I've had a beard for a number of years and anyone who possesses a face full of hair knows that maintenance can be laborious and an annoying activity to complete. So when I was offered a grooming kit I jumped at the chance. I have tried a few in the past and have felt that they all had good qualities but I wasn't truly enamoured with any of them. Before this product I was using one to trim my beard and one to shape, so I was hoping that the functions suggested with this grooming kit would solve this for me. So on to the shave. I have never found a foil shaver that beats a razor blade and this shaver is no exception. The foil just doesn’t get close enough to remove the signs of stray hairs when attempting to shape my beard. Next was the actual beard. It took seconds to change the implements over and I was ready to go. The ease to alter the length of grooming is a great feature and one that I had to experiment with until I found the length I was after. The shaver is really easy to use and extremely manoeuvrable. It glided over my beard and I was really pleased with the end result. Flipping the comb off I then styled my beard and was done. The whole process was much quicker than my usual shave (once I discovered what length I wanted my beard) and all with one piece of kit. The shaver is charged really quickly and the battery life is excellent. I have a shaver that takes 10 hours to charge for 45 minutes of use, this shaver easily beats that. For me there are only two slight negatives to this product. The foil shaver not quite hitting the high expectations I had and the plug not having a mains adapter. Other than this, I think this is a quality piece of shaving kit and a must for beard enthusiasts.

Great for stuble
4The first thing I would say is that it is very comfortable to use with a great grip. For someone who likes to change facial lengths whether it be a light beard to a stubble, it is a great product. The only small negative point is that it isn't great for sharp precise lining along the edges.

5It was first time ever when I used shaver! I really enjoyed. I thought that it's not gonna be the same as blades. I really recommend it for men who have sensitive skin.You can use wet and dry and that is bonus for quick use.quick charging for long battery life.Easy to clean,comfortable to hold.Only one negative-It is a bit noisy.

Braun Shaver 3010BT. Fantastic!
4Quickly to start, I got the Braun Series3 3010BT Wet & Dry and had to try it immediately. I had been letting my beard grow out by a bit too much. First of all, the shaver has a bit of heft to it, it feels well built as soon as you hold the thing. So do the attachments, most of this kit feels very well made. I recommend this kit wholeheartedly. I need to get what I didn't like out of the way. The precision head isn't good at getting little hairs off of my hand or shaved stubble. The strangest thing about the precision head though it left weird black marks on my skin. Living in the UK without one of those bathroom plugs for shavers I had to buy one of those British to European plugs. When taking off the heads, the three prongs inside jump up a little making it seem like it might break. Lastly, the shaving heads, apart from being a little tricky to get off, are a little too short for the style I prefer. Four combs, ranging from 1,2mm to 7mm. It's nothing a bit of patience can't fix. The good now, and there is a lot of it. Going from a full beard, a few inches thick and beginning to curl to nice and short took no effort. Put the shaver on charge for five minutes like the box said and I was shaving for the better part of an hour. (Including trying it out on my leg and hand, for testing.) It feels incredibly nice to use, I've tried shavers from 8 to 30 pound ones and they felt shaky in comparison. This doesn't dance in your hand or need to be fought with. I waited until my beard began to lose its shape from the first shave and cleaned it up, the shaver handled it, easy. The shaver takes at most 10 minutes to give you a full shave if you're being picky about length like me, a minute or two tops for a clean shave like I do on my neck. It caused no irritation or itchy spots. I love the kit, despite a handful of shortcomings, I'm incredibly pleased with how well the Braun works. Fine to coarse hairs aren't a problem and using the trimmer head without a comb fantastic on stubble. Cleaning the shaver took less than a minute, because of the flat design. The brush got any hairs trapped inside out in a few brushes as well from the inside of the heads and combs. I've already recommended this to friends with big beards and those who like a clean shave. It's easily the best shaver I've ever used.

Braun Series 3 Shave&Style is Brilliant
5I was so excited to start using this electric Braun Series 3 Shave&Style. I have always used disposable razors as thought they gave a better result. I was amazed about the quality of the product. It is very easy to use, instructions are clear, but the most important thing is that it gives such a close, smooth result. There was no pulling sensation as the shaver tackled my facial growth giving me easily the closest shave I can recall. I love the fact that Braun Series 3 Shave&Style can be used both in wet and dry conditions. There is cleaning solution included so no further purchases are needed. The razor is very comfortable to hold and as I have sensitive skin not many razors are suitable but this one is. I would like to recommend it to everybody.
