A look at the series 3 shaver from Braun. Quite a few variations in this model range, however this one is the 3040s, this is the budget end of the wet/dry shavers from Braun, and seems to be one of their most popular models - in the ProSkin range. Ones below this are dry shave units.
In the video I take a close up look on this shaver, and discuss how I feel about it, having spent a few months using it.

A surprisingly good dry head shave from the Braun Series 3

@MrBazReviews Год назад

It's not bad I prefer wet shaving with this

@markdoughty8780 Год назад

As you say, when used purely as an electric/dry shave, the comfort level is ok but nothing special; I've yet to use it as a wet shaver, but, when I do, expect it to be more comfortable than the dry shave. Thanks for the review.

@MrBazReviews Год назад

I think it's partly the motor speed, quite aggressive and loud - it's not bad dry but not great. I think the Philips is more comfortable. Both are decent for a wet shave though, I find myself using the Philips perhaps a bit more. Maybe higher priced Braun shaver are more "refined".

@RyanGill86 Год назад

I grew up using a Norelco 400 series. I switched to this Series 3 and I was very disappointed. It irritated my skin during shaves, so I went back to the rotary. I decided to try a Braun Series 5, and I was blown away by the better shave and less irritation.

@MrBazReviews Год назад

I might try a series 5, this is as I said a bit unrefined, though better than Braun shavers I have had in the past. I find the Philips to be better overall in this price range.

@terrykemp8131 Год назад

Great video Baz. I use a Phillips 3000 (s3233/52) razor at about the same price range. It shaves for longer and seems much more kinder than on my neck area. A lovely close shave.

@MrBazReviews Год назад

Yes, the Braun is a bit unrefined, and the Philips is clearly nicer to use. I find the Braun pretty good for a wet shave though

@Skoblikova_18 7 месяцев назад

Do you know how to replace the battery? It stopped charging at some point, but when I look at it can’t really find the way to dissemble. Thanks

I've not tried to take it apart, but normally you would have to peel back the blue rubber and you should have access to the screws to open it.

@Blijvend_Letsel 2 года назад

I have the black one and replaced the head casket just like 1 month ago and did shave with the original for like 1 year and a half, device struggles a little bit with longer hairs and sometimes it pulls hair instead of cutting it (even with the new casket). For me the battery is empty in about 3/4 shaves so when travelling for a long time without power supply u might dont want this to take with you .

@MrBazReviews 2 года назад

Strange seems like quite a low run time for a single charge. Is it the series 3 model? I'd expect to get at least 7 days out of it, even if each shave was 5 minutes

I watched this because the little plastic piece popped out, it looks like a " Y" shape with spring this video shows how it can be correctly repositioned. I agree that it shaves better using foam/gel or pre- electric shaving lotion. Cheers.

@reedcarpenter2994 2 года назад

Do you still use this? This is wet and dry the other comparable model is a Phillips 2300 rotary that is dry only. What’s your thoughts on which is better

@MrBazReviews 2 года назад

I use this and the Philips 3000, both on a regular basis. The Philips has the edge IMO for the neck area, easier to get a better shave. The Braun is better than I expected though, it does a nice job for a wet shave too. Hard to pick a winner, perhaps the Philips is a bit more refined/comfortable

@herbweichmann4225 Год назад

Have Braun 3 that you can use plugged in , works excellent even with longer hair . Quieter than my last shaver .

@MrBazReviews Год назад

Some can work plugged in, this one won't though safety feature I assume. They do vary, I've used a few good ones, some less so. Had an old Hitachi that was a great shaver, many moons ago.

@triplespace007 Год назад

I just bought this at CVS. It was 50% off. So I paid $37.99. Hopefully it does what it’s supposed to do. I’m a little worried it might not shave my neck that good because of a couple of comments I’ve read, but we’ll see. Thanks for sharing bud.

@MrBazReviews Год назад

At that price it's not a bad buy at all. It's alright, for the neck area vary the angles and direction that helps quite a lot. I think the rotary shavers do better there, this is better than past Bruan shavers I've used.

Interesting, it is still working at present for me, but I am alternating use on this and the Philips. I think the Rotary shave is better in the neck area wet and dry, though the braun is much better than previous ones I have used.

@MrBazReviews Год назад

I agree though this isn't bad for a wet shave, it's just a bit unrefined the motor

@corycg9624 7 месяцев назад

A rotary shaver is only good if you’re clean shaven but if you have a beard or goatee it will screw up your goatee or beard because of the circular motion instead of just going straight up and down.

@scottmccrea1873 5 месяцев назад

I have the straight Series 3. I'm not sure exactly what the extra $20 gets you. It was $39 and this model ^^^ $59. It's a close shave. Pretty darned close to a blade - tho it takes longer and more effort than the blade. Given the price of blades, I think it's an acceptable substitute.

@MrBazReviews 5 месяцев назад

The ones below this are not from what I can see "wet/dry", so it depends how you use It! I prefer the wet option as I find the shave a bit closer

@scottmccrea1873 5 месяцев назад

@@MrBazReviews oh I agree. So far wet seems closer. I'd say it's 90% of a blade shave for me. Especially since blades are $4-6 ea and probably going higher.

@@scottmccrea1873 The whole razor blade thing is a crazy rip off, considering the cost of making them is tiny. I do still have a Wilkinson sword razor, and they are almost as bad as Gillette price wise (but not quite). Lot of marketing BS going on there too with blades/designs. I see Amazon are now doing razors too (but considerably cheaper), not tried that one. Add it up over months/years and the electric seems to be the way to go, if you need a closer shave foam up and use the electric.

@@MrBazReviews it always has been. It's a brilliant model. Cheap razor, expensive blades. I do admit the blades are fabulous. But if the per unit manufacturing cost is more than pennies I'll est my hat. Margin probably isn't as good as soda, but it's still huge.
