I've been using Braun Electric shavers for a few years now and there's a reason they're the most popular brand, simply because they're the best. While I'd normally use a Series 7 razor, I decided to give the Series 3 300S a run for its money and I've been very pleasantly surprised. The first test was a comparison, shaving one side with the Series 3, and the other with a series 7, Immediately I was impressed by zero visible difference between the two, so I proceeded to re-shave opposite sides to see if the opposite razor could pick up anything my eyes couldn't. The Series 3 was near perfect but after revisiting the same area there where a few crackles as the odd missed hair was caught,however if any difference in trimmed length, it really was negligible. So what sets the fantastic Series 7 and the equally impressive Series 3 300s apart?Well the more expensive Series 7 has a rotating head, various sensitivity settings and a supposed more advanced shaving element. But it's the 300S I want to concentrate on, sure it's bare bones, there's no fancy bells and whistles, and it might be a budget rechargeable shaver, however it's performance is near identical. The few missed hairs I mentioned where potentially down to the lack of a rotating head, or the difference in shaving element, but if the Series 7 was a 10/10 then the Series 3 300s would certainly score a solid 9/10 because there's so little in the actual shaving performance. After extended use, you will notice the elements heating up (something that isn't as easily noticeable on the Series 7) And due to the static head, it takes a little longer than it's my more expensive comparison model, but let's get things straight, the Series 7 costs almost three times as much as the 300s, and while I love my Series 7, anyone wanting a simple, effective shave, then I would seriously recommend the Series 3 300s over the Series 7. Firstly for price, secondly for a near identical shave and thirdly for the smooth, black and discreet styling makes this a fantastic little shaver. Those with sensitive skin, who want to reduce shaving time might be better placed with the rotating head and more advanced element on the series 7, but 95% of people will be perfectly fine with the 300S and even more happy with the price. Finally it's worth mentioning the size of the 300s. As you can see it fits comfortably in the hand and is a neat. Stylish design, I'm not a big fan of shavers trying to look like bright, advanced gadgets, and really appreciate the Matte black simple finish. The on/off button is easy to press with a distinct vibration to the device when on, the build quality matches the range and isn't upto series 7 standard, but it's still a good solid unit which doesn't sound as plastic/hollow as many I've seen. Also it's worth mentioning the 300S is waterproof upto 5 metres, I'm not a fan of using a shaver wet, I prefer the crackle of dry hairs, but it's nice to know f I'm in a rush I could shave mid-shower as well as thoroughly rinse the unit without fear of damage. Bottom line: Incredibly impressed, as with anything set your budget, and if the Series 3 is the best Braun rechargeable shaver in your budget then it's quite simply a Must buy!

So, lets start from the very beginning, the box. Very sleek and light but sturdy. Simple looks and explains clearly exactly what your getting in the box and what the product itself is. So far so good. upon opening the box and removing all the packaging etc you end up with a very sleek foil shaver with a lovely professional feel, plenty of grip even in wet conditions. There is an adaptive plug, so the shaver can be used on a 240v or a 100v supply which is very handy for traveling with, and once charged you just pop out the lead and voila a cordless shaver. Also included is a cleaning brush and a protective cap to protect the foil shaving head, and a protective case.The shaving head is easily detached making cleaning a doddle, the brush is handy although not entirely necessary and being quite stiff if you have thicker hair it tends to move it around rather then brush it away. The first thing i did when i opened it was to plug it in and charge it up which I did as I went shopping so unsure as to how long the full charge actually took, but as yet it has been in use for a week and a half daily and I haven't had to charge it back up again. Battery life so far is fantastic for my usage thanks to the long life battery supplied (or should I say inbuilt). The instructions claim an hour charging should give 20 minutes shave time, or five min quick charge should be enough for one shave but so far mine has exceeded this. The unit itself is 5m waterproof, meaning you could drop it in the sink and have very little to worry about which is an added bonus. on reading the instructions and warranty info i noticed it actually comes with a 2 year warranty rather than the standard year. Now its time to mention the usage. there's literally one button - On or Off. the rest of the unit is automatic,meaning very simple to use, the 3 way shaving head is fully adjustable to contours in your face which it does easily as you glide it around. I have used foil shavers for a couple of years now and find myself going over the same 'tough to shave' areas several times to get a really smooth shave, using this series 3 i found that visually the shave looked fantastic after just one or two pass overs. It was still slightly rough in patches but on the whole a very quick shave leaving me looking acceptably smooth. Going over a few more times and it was smooth which I have found to be the standard with most foil shavers, including my old series seven which cost a fair bit of money more than this unit does. For the price its a very very good shaver. I have used better foil shavers before, but I had to pay a lot more for them. I have also used other shavers in a similar price bracket to this one and they were awful. The Braun brand as a whole I have found to be fantastic when it comes to foil shavers and this one doesn't disappoint when you consider the price. The series 3 is a very good shave at a very good price and comes with plenty of extras so you can take it away with you or use it at home daily like myself. Highly recommended product [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Being the sort of 'in a rush' bloke who finds shaving the constant bane of his life, I will cut to the chase and simply say this electric shaver was something of a revelation.Previous experiences have failed to do the job efficiently, requiring multiple sweeps of the facial area, and eventual resignation to the fact my neck will never be clear of hair. However, with this shaver I was able to achieve this seeming unreachable goal, and do so with ease. The three, individually hinged, trimmers at first seemed something of a gimmick. Is three razors really going to be better than one? If I was a betting man I'd have said no. I would have lost the bet. Awkward to reach areas,

The new Braun series 3 300s is a fantastic product which I was happy to get my hands on as I have reverted to a goatee instead of a full beard which I've had for years now. One might wonder who this razor is aimed at and I did at first thinking it was something to cram into the suitcase for a quick shave on holiday but that would be disingenuous to the product. The Braun 300s is absolutely perfect for somebody who is styling their beard in a certain way and needs to be precise about which parts of the beard to stay in tact e.g. the goatee. Nonetheless I'd be wrong if I said this razor wouldn't be ideal to take with you on holiday,

Overall I am happy with this Braun foil shaver. I have been using it for about 2 weeks now and feel like I can give a fair evaluation of it.I'll start by pointing out some of the negatives. I am only mentioning these to give a full picture, by no means are these deal breakers, or in any way true annoyances.- My first impression was that the razor does tug at your facial hair, which can be a little uncomfortable. My conclusion after using it for a few days was that it is really best used as an every day razor and only for very short (i.e. one day) beard growth. This way it keeps the tugging to a minimum.- The unit vibrates a fair bit in your hand. Personally, this is not a problem for me,

When I got my shaver, the first thing that caught my eye was the packaging. It is a standard box with some green and black design and a picture of the shaver on the front...yey. On opening the box and pulling the tray out, everything has its place in the packaging. You get the shaver, foil guard and power lead. The power lead is a nice coiled, springy cable that you can extend slightly if required.Holding the shaver, it is nicely weighted, not too heavy that it would be too much to take on your travels but heavy enough to give you confidence in its build quality. There are good quality plastics around the edge with a grippy rubber going through the middle,

I think when you find a product worth shouting about well just do it, here's one I got to this braun series 3 300 rechargeable shaver and wow has it , for someone with sensitive skin electric or battery shavers have been a no no, due to the skin irritation they gave me I just stopped trying few years ago and after trying all the wet shavers around stuff k with the well-known vibration system that's costing me a fortune, but it's been the only solution until I had the opportunity to test this series 3 300 rechargeable shaver, I've had it well over a week now had few shaves and even very short stubble that the wet shaver would struggle on has been a doddle for this battery life is just been

Pros:Very close shaveLong battery lifeThree pressure sensitive shaving elementsWater proof"Smart plug"Cons:Can't cope with long hairNo travel or storage bagOverall I'm very pleased with the Braun Series 3. It provides an extremely close shave that I think rivals a manual blade. The battery life is good. I've had six shaves so far without needing to recharge it. The three pressure sensitive shaving elements means even someone as useless as me can easily use it to get a very nice shave. It's even impressive after you've finished shaving. It's waterproof, so can be washed straight under the tap. I believe it can even be used to shave while it the shower, but I haven't been brave enough to try that!

Firstly, let me prefix everything I have to say on the shaver with the fact that I rarely shave, as such the test I gave it was probably the "worst case" you could really throw at it, a closest-setting trimmed beard. Certainly more than a few days growth, which I expect is more the "norm".The packaging was nice and stylish, everything was presented well and arrived safely. The device itself was very minimalist in its design; a simple on/off button and a power/charging indicator light. It felt nice and light in my hand, perfect for taking on trips without weighing you down, yet enough weight to feel solidly built.The shave it gave was incredible, especially when you consider the cost of the device,

So i have been using the Braun Series 3 300s electric razor for over a week now so I've fully got used to the pros and cons. Unboxing the shaver i could see that it came with a Smart plug for automatic 100-240 voltage adjustment which is definitely good if you are a traveller. It came fully charged and with a set of instructions. I first used the shaver dry will i had a medium growth. I was in so much pain as it stuck to every little hair possible. I decided to stop using it and use my other shaver to take most of the hair away. I then used the Braun Series 3 300s electric razor on a daily basis to stop myself having any hair growth and it was much better to use.

This is genuinely a great shaver.For years I was a wet, manual shave kind of guy but found I was replacing the blade every week to keep the shave close and clean. So for this reason I decided to get an electric. To date I've had 3. The first was cheap and therefore terrible. It basically pulled the hairs out and missed a quarter of them. The next was good, powerful but the battery lasted 2 shaver at most. Then i got the Series 3.When I first picked it up, I thought it felt a bit light and may not be powerful enough to provide a proper shave. However I charged it up and gave it a go and it was fantastic.

So I chose to review the Braun Series 3 300s Rechargeable Electric Shaver. I already own another Braun so I had something to compare to! The shaver is rechargeable so no need to rely on batteries. The charge after decent use lasted for around 1-2 weeks before it needed recharging. The great benefit of it being rechargeable is that it's cordless so very portable. The weight is no bother at all and it fits great into the palm of your hand. What's good about this Braun is that the shaver foils rotate left and right which allow follow the contour of your facial structure, it also allowed me to get into tight spots under my nose where it's hard to shave! The foils are waterproof as I've washed the remaining hair out.

Simply put it charges quick, gives me a close shave and has a low battery indicator. What else do you need? No longer will I have half a face shaved to find out the battery has died! In the box is the shaver, rechargeable battery, instruction book and charger. This is the first foil shaver I have used but I'm really impressed. It takes a bit of getting used to the technique compared to a bladed razer but once you do it'll give a much closer shave and no risk of cutting yourself! It also makes shaving around my throat a breeze now! Being waterproof up to 5 meters you can use it in the shower and rinse the whole thing under a tap. Saves a lot of time on clean up.

The Brain series 3 300s electric razor came in a compact sleek, box. Which has a lot less packaging then other electric razors. In to box is the actual razor, a protective cap to protect the foils while not in use and a smart plug that automatically changes the voltage from 100v to 240v so no needed to message under changing plugs and worrying about short circuiting.I charged the battery before first use so it would be at full power. Over alliteration took around 10 minutes to get the perfect shave like I normally would get from manual and other electric razors. The foils do glide smoothy over the skin but it does miss hairs so have to go over the same area a few times to get everything which makes the skin irritated.The battery charged really fast and it is really simple to use.

This seems quite a powerful motor. You immediately sense that on switching on. I use both wet and dry shavers, preferring the wet, but carrying the dry when I travel. So I am quite used to both. I do prefer the modern multi-blade wet systems, but for ease when travelling, I just pop a dry razor in my pack. I tested this one on my under chin, about 9 hours after a wet shave. I was very surprised to hear it meeting some beard (I can do a couple of days before really needing a shave). The fact that this was able to engage with some hair in a very difficult to reach spot, so soon after a wet shave, really did did impress me. As I said, seems more powerful than what I generally use, so no doubt about it,
