Braun Series 3 Electric Shaver For Men, Electric Razor for Men, UK 2 Pin Plug, 300, Black Razor

This shaver was a replacement for the Braun one that my husband has used for years. Delivered less than 24 hours after purchasing. He likes it a lot. Very efficient and close shave. Much better than his old one.

Gives a great close shave.Fair price.Quick to charge.Lightweight.Performs well.Easy to wash & clean.Good shave in 10 minutes.

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.

NOTE FOR THIS LISTING:The black model is a DRY SHAVE ONLY model.The blue model is a WET & DRY model.The more expensive blue model is WET & DRY with a BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR.•••••••••••••••••••••••••That said, I got the blue wet & dry model, & it is very good. I get a close shave as I shower, & do not risk cuts, so I am very happy with it.

After about three weeks, I now feel that I can make proper review on the device. For clarity, the review was written in bullet points. In short, I am unfortunately a bit disappointed.First impression:- The razor makes a moderate impression and does not seem so high quality. The workmanship is impeccable and it is not too light, but it looks hollow and plastic. You can't expect much more from a razor at this price however.The shave (dry):- The razor slides well over the skin and adapts well to the skin.- The shaving result is not that impressive compared to other shavers (Carrera for example). The neck is hard to shave with me.-It is a very gentle shave, but unfortunately the shaver does not catch all whiskers well, so I have to go over a few places 5 to 6 times or even remove it with my traditional razor.- Overall, unfortunately only "okay".The shave (wet):- The razor glides pleasantly over the skin.- I had the great hope of wet shaving, but it quickly left me when many hairs just were impossible to get. Both the neck and the face, the result was very dirty and bad, although the shaving with shaving foam was very pleasant. Even shaving once with and once against has not led to a satisfactory result.Functionality:- The razor has a power button with good feel and good pressure point.- Integrated LED bars indicate the battery level well.- The loading and shaving time is very good (load 5 minutes = one shave, load 1 hour = shave 45 minutes).- The razor and the shaving system can be easily, quickly and easily rinse under running water. The brush is somewhat redundant, but can be used to perfectly clean the razor when it is dry.- The device has an acceptable operating volume.- The device is quite light, fits well in the hand and is very grippy with a blue rubber coating.Conclusion: Overall, I can not recommend the Braun 3010s wet & dry, mainly because of the shaving result (wet not good, dry acceptable). All in all, ok for the price, but would not buy it again.

I have had a little hiccup with that one, I've not used a shaver before and I wanted to use it on 10mm facial hair. It refused to work and after reading manual, and trying few different angles and pressure levels I decided to give manufacturer a call. Surprisingly I got connected to a human (Damen) and he explained to me the need of trimming my beard first. Did that, then used this product, it wasn't super fast and I had to go like 10-15 times through tough spots but eventually my beard is gone.Good thing about it is that it's cordless and super easy to clean. It's also quite cheap, so can't really expect miracles, but I bought that brand as I've heard a lot of good words about them. I'd rate product 4 stars, but I was impressed with customer support so here you go, 5 stars. Well deserved.

It gives a good shave
