Braun Series 3 Shaver Wet/Dry: Quick Look

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.

I have one and it’s been the best electric razor that I’ve ever owned it definitely cuts a lot better than the electric razor’s I’ve had in the past

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.

A surprisingly good dry head shave from the Braun Series 3

I have this razor and use it everyday it's excellent

I just got mine yesterday @ 20% off very good for full body from head to toe wet and dry💪🏼🔥💪🏼🔥💪🏼💯▶️🔟

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.

I got this specifically to use on my legs, and it is absolutely amazing, on the face, it could be better, but over all, I love it

[williamcartright]

Swapped from norelco to series 3 . Much better razor.. love it. Only my 3rd razor in 30 years

I was looking at a series 5 to shave my back but I'm going to buy this one instead which is half the price. Thanks for your very thorough review! Instant sub.

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

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.

i’m not sure if it’s something i’m doing wrong, but this razor straight up doesn’t shave my hair. it doesn’t work on me. i don’t know why.

[Panman]

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.

Just got one a couple days ago and i love it. Thanks for the video. But is it capable of getting wet?

[pipewelda]

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.

[alecgoudreau]

I have it cheap electric shaver not bad (there are much better ones but they cost more) gives a good shave provided you do it right hold the shaver at a 90-degree angle, stretch the skin and shave against the beard growth.

[milanmondal]

I'd prefer a philips rotary shaver as suggested. Good review though

[trojanx]

Thrown 50 proglide razors blades out and thrown my cut throat razor while I order this electric shaver can’t wait till it to get a incredibly close shave electric shavers is the way for the closes shave a man can get so I finally ordered this

[TheJoel]

This vs the Philips shaver 3000 you reviewed a while ago?
