Series 3 Electric Shaver, 3 Flexible Blades, Dry Razor for Men, Includes Rechargeable Battery, Designed in Germany, 300S, Grey

This is my third Braun shaver. The previous one, also from the Series 3 lineup (model 330) served me well for 12 years, so naturally I wanted to go with another Braun. I'm not disappointed. It does its job well, feels softer than the previous shaver and is quieter. It's not magical though so don't expect to shave off 100% of hair after just one pass. That's probably impossible with this type of shavers (foil) because of different hair growth directions - you must always go against the hair growth direction. But the shave does feel quite close. I usually shave every other day (48-hour interval), but the shaver handled 72-hour hair with no problems. I like the fact that the removable shaving head is a single unit, rather than two as in the previous shaver (the foil and the cutter block were separate). Overall, the construction of the shaver is much simpler than my previous one, not least due to the lack of a built-in trimmer, but also because how the shaving head attaches. Simpler construction will hopefully mean fewer chances for breaking something. The main con of this shaver is the lack of accessories, especially the long hair trimmer. The next model with a trimmer that I could find wasn't able to shave while charging (an important selection criteria for me), in addition to a much higher price. Instead, I ordered a beard trimmer kit (part BT32) which *I hope* will fit this shaver (apparently it should). It's also sad that the shaver doesn't come with a brush, a storage case and machine oil that the previous shaver had, but this was known before purchase and the low price reflects minimal accessory kit. (Actually, I can use the brush from the old shaver and still have some oil left, so there's less waste!). The shaver does come with a protective cap though, so the lack of a storage case is hardly an annoyance. An important note on the charger's plug. It's a 2-pin plug that *looks* like an EU plug but *isn't* - it won't fit into an EU socket! (I bought it for use in continental Europe). But it fits into a UK power plug adaptor I have for use with UK appliances, it's a special shaver-only UK plug standard (apparently "BS 4573 (UK shaver)" - you can look it up on Wikipedia). The charger is apparently interchangeable with other Braun shavers (if those shavers are marked accordingly) but comes with a straight cord, whereas my previous one was slinky, which was more comfortable to use when shaving while plugged in. P&G support (which owns the Braun brand it appears) told me the old charger is not compatible with the new shaver despite the output current and the connector being exactly the same, which is a shame, because my old charger was for EU sockets. I wish they made the chargers standard, interchangeable and optional to reduce the amount of electric waste.

At the time of writing this review I have owned this shaver for 19 months. This shaver appeared to be a bargain. It was a lot cheaper than the others I had on a watchlist but I noticed it didn't have the beard trimmer function. Thats why it's cheaper. The instructions say when it is new to charge it right up and then to run it untl it is flat. I did this a couple of times and it lasted for a whole months worth of shaving. Brilliant. Very close shave, quiet, comfortable, light to hold, very grippy. Only comment is that the power light isn't so easy to see when the shaver is in use. Now just over a year & a half later the battery is barely seeing a week out before it needs recharging. It's kind of ok but the "long-life NiMH batteries" don't seem to hold up to their hype. Luckily this shaver is one of the few that you can run on battery and/or mains and it can be run on mains whilst shaving. The shavers that you drop into charging ports can't do this. Apart from the battery life depleting so quickly I'd recommend it if you are looking for a good shave on a budget.

Just replacing the same one of over 5 years, could have just done the head, but the cost was so good this made sense. It is a great product, I charge the battery once a week, just to be ready but I know it will go longer, I feel like a teenager again with the closeness of the shave. It is a basic model, but lets be honest that is all most of us need shave, clean it, go. Never used with water, but if they say it can do it, I am sure it can Treat yourself

I bought this because my old Remington razor’s foil broke through ( again) and would have been very expensive to replace. I’ve had a Braun before and this is just as good. My first shave was with two day stubble and it’s done a great job. It’s a smooth shave and the intercept foil works well on neck/ throat area. Very pleased with this product. Great value for money.

First impression: 👀 I bought this to supplement my Plillips Aquatouch. I tend to carry a little stubble these days as my Wife says it suits me and the Phillips was getting blunt so this one seemed good value and if it didn’t work out then I haven’t lost a fortune and it might extend the life of my limping Phillips. 👀 The razor is compact and comes with a charging cable. It fits in the hand well and is comfortable to use – when I get tired of the stubble. It does not take me long to shave my face so I am happy with the charge it carries and can leave it charging when it gets low. The razor will run when charging and it does seem to run a lot better plugged in lately, than on battery alone. Perhaps the rechargeable batteries are slowly giving up. What I liked: ✔️ The trimmer in the central section sweeps up the long hairs ready for the foils to shave them closer. It’s not perfect but does work. I would have liked this part to be on one edge so that both foils could have a go at shaving the trimmed hair, but you can always go over and area multiple times. I have another razor that does not have this kind of a cutter and I sometimes use this one first to do some heavy trimming, before switching to the other one. ✔️ The straight foil design gets into some areas well such as between the chin and the lower lip, and also around the ears. This is something a rotary blade shaver does not do as well. My Phillips Aquatouch is never as good for me around the ears in straight shaving mode and I have to flip out the trimmer attachment. ✔️ Cleaning is easy with the pop-off foil head. Just run it under the tap for a while after brushing off the excess shavings. ✔️ The foil head conforms to your chin as you move the razor around. This is not as important as it seems as I have used razors that do not and they work just as well, but it is welcome nonetheless. Anything I didn’t like so much: ❌ It is starting to get a little blunt after using it for 18 months now. ❌ The straight foils are not as capable to sweep up the longer hairs as my Phillips rotary with its slotted heads. ❌ Battey does not run the charger as well as mains power. Conclusion: ⚖️ This razor filled the gap for me when I needed it, but would still have expected it to last a bit longer than it has, particularly as I shaved a lot less over the 18 months that I have had it, and it was during stay-at-home lockdown. I have another razor with 3 foils now that does a far better job, albeit it is new. I still use this one for its horizontal trimmer. I looked into the cost of a replacement head, which is just more than half the cost of the shaver itself, and then if I open it up and swap out the batteries for a fresh set it starts to seem not worth it – but I do dislike the throw away culture when it comes to small electronic items. Thanks for taking the time to read my review, I hope you found it helpful.

I am enjoying the best shave with this Shaver, I've had an earlier model for the last eight years, replacing the head many times. I just thought about time for a complete NEW Shaver. This is great, so pleased with the purchase.

got it because I hate shaving. But the down side for me was it would of been quicker to have wet shaved. I had a three or four day growth, yes it shaved it. But not with ease, had to work with it. Well I have now had it two weeks and it hasn't got better. I have persisted with it but it has let me down. It should leave me with a shaved face the same as a wet razor, but it hasn't. I would move the stars too two if I could.

I have used a Philips 3000 Series shaver for a couple of years without ever being particularly happy. I have changed the rotary blades a couple times but shaving takes ages and is not particularly close. My brother recommended this Braun 300s. At half the price of the Philips, I was a tad dubious. However, he was right. This shaver is excellent - giving a comfortable and close shave. A full recharge takes about 90 minutes but, when in a rush, a 5 minute charge is sufficient for a single shave. The shaver is easily cleaned under a tap and it can be used while it is charging. On the other hand, there is no trimming attachment and the razor is a tad noisy. I can live with that. My only serious gripe would be the cost of Braun replacement foil heads. They cost almost as much as a new shaver! Compatible heads are available for about a third of the price. Whether they are as effective may be open to debate.......

Genial va perfectamente es justo lo que necesitaba

جيدة جدا وتعمل بكفاءة

Didn't shave sadly. Not on my teenage newly started shaving or my husband average bristles.having to return

Comme toujours , Braun propose de très bons rasoirs électriques , et celui ci ne fait pas exception à la règle , il est très efficace sur les poils longs ainsi que les courts , et il n’irrite pas la peau , ce qui n’est pas le cas de tous les rasoirs électriques ! Je recommande fortement cette marque !

Qualität ok, gutes Zubehör, Preis-Leistung ok. Benutze den Artikel schon lange und bin sehr zufrieden.
