Braun Series 3 3010BT Elektrorasierer, Wet & Dry Rasierer

[Review from Braun UK: English Review] What a brilliant device! I have just recently been offered a new job, and the Braun Series 3 came in really handy! I do have quite a long beard, so usually I'm fairly limited when it comes to shavers. Although I wasn't able to use it to its full potential, the interchangeable heads made it slightly easier to tame the beast. Also, the precision trimmer was excellent at creating the sharp edges to my fuzz. The soft bag makes it easy to keep everything together. I did find that it started to pull slightly as the charge got lower, but that's just something we all have to live with! All in all, it's a real contender for my daily routine. Well done, Braun!

[Review from Braun UK: English Review] My old electric razor is getting old now and so this Braun Razor came along at a perfect time! I like a bit of length to my stubble as I feel this look suits me better.This razor is essentially 3 in 1 as it allows a clean shave, a beard trimmer as desired and the ability to shape. The design is modern; lightweight and easy to clean and maintain. I would recommend the Braun Series 3 ProSkin razor to anyone looking for a new razor.

[Review from Braun UK: English Review] This product is a good product. The bag you get to hold the trimmer combs is a great idea as well as the the feel and design of the razor makes it a nice touch. The razor dose its job. Its hard to say anything else but that it works and dose what it says. Its nothing amazing and works just like my other razors. However the noise is a bit more unbearable and the battery life is appalling.

[Review from Braun UK: English Review] Now i've never really been a fan of electric razors until now, i really like a bit of growth in my stubble as if i do say so myself i think i look slightly sexier. But it was always a case of have a clean shave look like 12 years for a few days then enjoy my perfect length then back to shaving it off after it gets to long and irritating. I just needed something to keep my desired length so i look sexy and not irritated by a long beard, then i found the Braun Series 3 ProSkin razor, the best thing since sliced bread.So what does it do you may ask well it's a 3 in 1 shaver you can either get a close shave out of it or keep your beard at a desired length then it has a precise trimmer head for that all important shaping. So the product itself is lightweight easy to hold which comes with a little pouch so you can keep all the different length combs together 1-7mm by the way. I prefer my length to be 2mm and a quick go over with this and i'm a happy man oh and my girlfriend is as well. The shaver also allows me to shape my neck with its super sharp blades and if a close shave is what your after then it's perfect for that as well.All in all a awesome bit of kit for the price and i'm so glad that i've found this product, what was life like before it? Definitely recommended quality and value all at the same time.

[Review from Braun UK: English Review] The Braun S3 Shave&Style is a fairly decent 'foil' style electric razor when it comes to both giving a close shave as well as clipping and trimming longer facial hair. As someone who clean shaves his neck but alternates between stubble and a neatly clipped beard I found this tool a welcome addition to my bathroom cabinet, even though it isn't as manoeuvrable as an electric rotary head or as close as a traditional wet shave.It has a solid and durable design and a reassuring weight which gives the impression of a quality product. A drawstring bag is provided in which to keep the different attachments, which might seem obvious, but the clutter in my bathroom draws is proof other appliances overlook this simple storage solution.The battery seems reliable and a full charge has lasted me at least 6 neck shaves and 2 beard clips over a 2 week period and is still going. The ability to take it into the shower is a novelty, I didn't find it provided any closer a shave, and without a mirror it seemed pretty pointless. Cleaning it however is fantastically simple with the ability to just take it apart and run it directly under the tap.The different heads are very easy to attach and remove and a quick search online shows a new foil head is around £25 to replace, which may seem expensive but when you factor in the cost for disposable razor heads over a similar time period (18 months) it's pretty reasonable.All in all, a fairly solid and reliable appliance for its price but nothing to rave about.Pros: Long battery lifeFast chargeSolid and durable feelWaterproof €“ take it in the shower, clean it under the tapA shaver and a clipperGood selection of accessoriesRubberised gripCons: Only supplied with a 2 pin plug €“ no ability to charge in a standard power socketNo charge remaining indicator, just a red 'running out' lightNoisy compared to other clippers I own

[Review from Braun UK: English Review] The box contains the Braun Series 3 ProSkin razor, a cleaning brush, small bag for the combs, plug, protective cap along with the exchangeable shaver head, exchangeable precision trimmer and, trimmer combs. It comes with 2 manuals - I recommend reading both, especially if you are used to a wet shave and gone over to electric razors. Charging the razor is simple and on first use, charge for a full 4 hours. This will give you up to 45 minutes of cordless shaving although I found it lasted longer than this. The razor itself feels great in my hands, the foam-like sides ensure a tight grip €“ which is great because it can be used in the shower and bath. The razor is lightweight and made of good quality materials. Removing the shaver head to clean was effortless and took less than 10 seconds to swill under warm or hot water. I decided for the first time using the Braun Series 3 Shave&Style 3010BT, I would use shaving gel, which is recommended (along with foam) in the manual but unfortunately, this didn 't go so well. It 's quite possible I used too much gel and I could feel the razor struggling. I found myself going over and over the same bit of hair.I had to give up on a gel shave and tried again with just water. This was great €“ The razor glided over my face with ease and gave a super close and smooth shave. I haven 't tried with foam as I don 't own any but would recommend just a small layer of foam or gel first.The precision trimmer and trimmer combs are a delight and super easy to install. Remove the foil & cutter cassette and replace with the trimmer head. The combs are numbered and correspond to the approximate trimming length in mm. I started with the longest and worked my way down to the size I was happy with. I recommend you do the same!The Braun Series 3 Shave&Style 3010BT is an amazing piece of kit, sturdy, water friendly, well-built and lightweight. It offers a convenient smooth close shave with a great range of trimming sizes for your beard. Although I had a slight hiccup on first use, it hasn 't stopped me from recommending this product to family and friends.

[Review from Braun UK: English Review] The Braun series three is well packaged and comes with:- the shaver itself with the foil type head and a plastic protective cover;- the precision trimmer head and 5 trimmer combs;- some instructions;- power cable;- a small bag to keep the combs in; and- cleaning brush.When first taking out the shaver from the box it has a reassuring weight to it that speaks to the quality of the build.My first impressions from trying out the different options that come with it are largely positive. The foil head gives a nice close shave with minimal irritation which could be minimised further by using it during a wet shave.It did take a lot of going over the same part of my face to pick up the final stubborn hairs, which could be better and it struggled to pick up a couple of neck hairs, but this is simply fixed by using the trimmer to finish it off.Overall a good quality product as expected from a consistent brand.

[Review from Braun UK: English Review] After unboxing the shaver my first impressions on opening the parcel were that it looked sleek and professional. There wasn't too much packaging and most of it could go straight in the recycling bin which was a bonus. I plugged the shaver in to charge (I use an adapter for a UK wall socket) it was a bit loose and needed propping up to stay in the socket properly as the end of the plug is quite heavy. This wasn't a great first impression, but it might work better if you plugged it straight in to a shaver socket. It does hold its charge very well, I've only charged it once in 3 weeks but I don't shave every day.I've used the shaver for a clean shave and for trimming but a clean shave isn't something I do very often. The clean shave was good and smooth, everything I would expect from a good electric shaver. I use the trimmer more often which works well and trims my beard to the level I prefer it. Its easy to swap between the heads on the shaver and intuitive to use. In comparison to my usual shaver this one is a little heavier but its not really noticeable when you're using it, its still comfortable to use. The grooves and changes in material make it easy to grip when you're using it. It comes with a small bag to keep the accessories in which is helpful so they don't go missing. The protective cap fits snuggly and its something I've used a lot when storing the shaver. It also makes it so you can't accidentally turn it on if you pick it up (although you'd have to be trying pretty hard to do that without the protective cap on).I had fairly high hopes for the Braun Series 3 Shave&Style as they have a big presence on the shelves of shavers in the shops. Overall I was pleased with the experience of using the Braun shaver would recommend it to friends and family if it was within their budget.

[Review from Braun UK: English Review] So 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.

[Review from Braun UK: English Review] Here 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.
