Electric Series 3 Razor with Precision Trimmer, Rechargeable, Wet & Dry Foil Shaver for Men, Blue/Black, 4 Piece

I’ve been really impressed with this razor so far. It gives a clean, smooth shave without irritating my skin, and the precision trimmer works great for shaping around the beard and sideburns. The battery life is solid, and it’s comfortable to hold and easy to clean. For the price, the quality is excellent and it performs just as well as more expensive models I’ve tried. Definitely a great buy and highly recommended!

It works just as well as razor blade. It takes 2-3 times to get used, but then I got consistent close shave. The quality is very good, and it is very comfortable to hold, and it is not noisy. I do get a little skin irritation, but it got better after a few uses. I recommend applying Pre-shave balsam to minimize skin irritation. To prevent corrosion, apply a small drop of clipper blade oil to lubricate the foil.

I purchased this shaver for my husband. His review follows. The Braun 3040s is a competent shaver and gets the job done. Although at first I found it inferior to nearly 30-yr old Braun technology, i.e., the Braun system 1-2-3 cl3525 shaver, also designated as 5567U, which I purchased in 1995. (Braun’s use of multiple product numbers and designations is very confusing!), I have learned to use it and am enjoying it more. I purchased the 3040 since my 5567 will not last forever. I’ve had the 5567 repaired a number of times over the years: new batteries, multiple repairs of the pop-up trimmer, replacement of a cracked gasket, and even a new case since the rubber nibs had worn off. Unfortunately, the locally owned shaver repair shop that serviced it over the years has now gone out of business. Through it all, the 5567 has been an excellent shaver, small, lightweight, reasonably quick, fairly quiet, cleanly shaves my beard in the areas on my face where the hairs lay flat against my skin (i.e., use of the pop-up trimmer), and the battery keeps its charge for at least a week’s worth of shaves. I routinely charge it weekly, when I also scrupulously clean it with a brush, compressed air, and then lubricate it. I purchased the new Braun 3040s because of my history with Braun, my preference for foil shavers, and since their shavers get good ratings. Also, I needed a new shaver since, as I said, mine is not going to last forever. I selected the 3040s since I didn’t need all the bells and whistles of the more expensive Brauns, and with respect to the pivoting shaver head on the more expensive models, I can see no value in it. As a customer with an engineering background the pivoting shaver head looks like it ups the cost and complexity of the shaver and does little or nothing to improve the shave. It seems to me that a good shave is all about the foil and conforming to my face. The swivel head seems like a problem and would potentially limit the force and control I have with a fixed head; in fact, one reviewer on Amazon said as much. Another feature I at first did not like on the current Brauns, except for the M90 (see below), is that they now have a double foil with a blade arrangement between. However, I must admit it does seem to cut my beard more quickly, now that I have learned to move the shaver across my skin much more slowly than with my older Braun. The new 3040 is larger and heavier, the head is too big to easily fit between my mustache and nose, it runs at a higher speed and so is buzzier. Apparently, there is a version that comes with a locking foil-retraction feature for one of the foils, that would make it easier to position under my nose, but according to Braun that is not available in the U.S. Even though the battery is newer technology I barely get a week out of a full charge, less than I get with my 5567. On the plus side, even though larger, it feels good in the hand. A minor disadvantage of the 3040 is that I cannot hear my whiskers being cut. With the 5567 I can clearly hear the difference between the foil cutting beard, vs. cutting on shaved skin. It makes it easy, without always having to run my fingers over my beard, to know when an area has been cut adequately clean. The 3040 does have some pluses over their 30-year old technology but still in ways I prefer the simple 5567 with the only needed improvement being a more durable mechanism for the pop-up trimmer. That would be fabulous. Perhaps Braun’s one major shaver “advancement” has been reducing costs. I paid $60 for the 3040 on Amazon, which is exactly what I paid for the 5567 back in 1995. But the inflation-adjusted price of the 5567 would be about $114 in 2022. So, Braun has succeeded in keeping costs down. As a side note, I did also purchase a Braun M90 just to give it a try, since it is a single-foil design like the 5567. It is less expensive than the 3040, but unfortunately does not have a rechargeable battery. It is nice and small, does not shave as quickly as the 3040, and it not quite up to the venerable 5567. To qualify the beard that is being used to assess the shavers, see the attached photos. I have to shave daily, not because my growth is that thick, but because many of my hairs grow parallel to my skin’s surface and I am prone to in-grown hairs if I do tend to them on a daily basis.

This is my kids first razor. It was charged when we got it so I had him try the razor on his chin (he’s just getting hair in) and I had him try the trimmer (he’s actually had a mustache). He loved it. The flexible heads make the razor easier to use around the curves of his face and the trimmer worked well to remove hairs as well. He actually used it to shave his mustache off. The best part to me is that there is no way he can cut himself with it. As a single mom I was worried about that because I wasn’t sure how to explain using a normal razor on his face. It is a bit heavy. The noise is minimal. Taking the heads off to clean was simple. We didn’t rinse it under water because the little brush that came with it works great. It did come with a plastic attachment that is used to protect the blades when you are not using it. But, I bought a case for it anyways to help him keep everything together.

I just wanted to show some appreciation for this razor, since I've been having such a good experience with it. I have tried several razors over the past 2 years and this one was surprisingly a standout over all of them. Why? It's convenient, affordable, and it gives me a smooth shave with minimal irritation. The good: + The shaver has a nice solid build. I really appreciate the grippiness of the rubber handle. I also noticed that my hand just wants to go to the sides of the razor where it's designed to be held. I have noticed with some other razors that my thumb often ends up on the power button and accidentally turns it off. This does not happen with this razor for me. + A quick, smooth shave: It only takes a couple of passes to get a decently close shave. I will say that I've had razors that cut closer than this, but that isn't necessarily a good thing. I get razor burn on my neck from electric razors, but this one has never given me razor burn, so that's a big plus for me for a smooth shave. Also, I have only gotten minimal ingrown hairs from this razor, which I can't say for a lot of others I have tried. + Convenient: This razor is fairly cheap. The replacement parts are fairly cheap. I have had other razors that are fairly high maintenance and require spending time cleaning with each shave. While I'm sure you *could* do a deep clean on this razor every time you use it, I have noticed that just shaking out the excess hairs from the guards seems to be enough without a huge hit on performance. So I would say it's easy to clean. I also appreciate that if I lost this razor on a trip that it would not be that expensive to replace, compared to some more pricey options. + Features: Perhaps the biggest thing I have noticed trying several different types of razors is that the cutter bar in the center seen on some razors (such as this one) is absolutely essential to a good clean shave. I have hairs that grow in several different directions on my neck that are really difficult to remove with some razors. What I have noticed is that razors that come with the cutter bar in the center of their foils tend to do a much better job of getting these hairs. I also like that this one comes with the built-in beard trimmer to get the hairs that get too long for the cutter bar. With this razor, I rarely get the random stray hairs on my neck that I have had at times from other razors. + Noise level: This razor is on the quieter end of electric razors I have tried. Not the quietest razor, but not noticeably loud. It's an electric razor -- it's going to make some noise when you use it. The bad: - It would be nice if the power cord came with one of those upright stands. I just think it would look nicer in the bathroom that way. - The power button doesn't really have a safety lock. It seems like it would be easy to accidentally turn it on while it's sitting in a bag. The plastic cover does also cover the button, but it seems like it would still be easy to accidentally press it even with the cover on. Overall, I would highly recommend this razor if you want something affordable that can also get a relatively smooth shave in a short amount of time. I appreciate *not* having to spend a lot of time in the bathroom shaving every morning, so I really appreciate this razor.

It genuinely pains me to give this product 3 stars. This is a good product it just doesn’t meet my personal standard for a truly close shave. The Good: It’s very comfortable in the hand, easy to operate, and it absolutely delivers on the “gentle” promise. I’ve used it at every awkward angle imaginable and applied varying levels of pressure, and I experienced zero nicks or cuts. So why only 3 stars? Simply put, the shave isn’t close enough. The result is somewhere between stubble and clean-shaven similar to how your face feels about a day after a traditional double-edge shave. You can still feel the fine hairs. No matter how much time I spent, or how I adjusted pressure and angle, it never got any closer. If my daily routine didn’t require a baby-smooth, clean-shaven face, I would absolutely keep this product. It feels great in the hand, and if it truly lasts 7 years, even including head replacements, the cost works out to about $25 per year, which is far better than cartridge systems like Gillette. I really wanted this to be my solution, which is why it hurts to return it. For reference, I currently use a Merkur 34C with Astra Superior Platinum blades and Cremo shaving cream. That setup gives me an exceptionally close, baby-smooth shave—but it takes time: warming the face, lathering, shaving slowly to avoid cuts. So if you don’t need a perfectly clean shave and are okay with something slightly smoother than stubble, you’ll likely be very satisfied with this product.

I am a former 20-year plus Panasonic shaver user. Great product that I was completely satisfied with, but the replacement blades/foils were getting too expensive. For just $15 more than the replacement blades would have cost me for the Panasonic. I got this Braun shaver, which had very good reviews. This Braun shaver works great for me and the pop-up trimmer works really well also. I was personally surprised how much quieter it was than the Panasonic and I find that it gives me a very smooth and quick shave. Also, as a bonus, the replacement blades are $20 cheaper than the Panasonic. The smooth and quieter shave and cheaper and great quality replacement blades are win-win for me.

I have used way more expensive razors and yeah those are technically better but for the price this one is genuinely impressive. it gets a pretty close shave without giving me razor burn on my neck which is a huge win because a lot of electrics just wreck my skin. the trimmer in the middle is really good for catching hairs that grow in weird directions and it is super easy to clean too.

Barbeador elétrico de marca não disponível na minha cidade. Chegou no prazo. Muito contente

Es una excelente afeitadora. No he tenido problemas en nada. La batería (de carga rápida) dura bastante. En barba muy corta no es necesario estarla pasando demasiadas veces, solamente hay que pasarla en el ángulo correcto. Ahora, sobre este punto es necesario aclarar algo: ninguna máquina dejará la piel sin bello o barba al primer roce, hay que pasarla pocas veces y esta máquina deja la piel impecable con poco contacto. Es ergonómica y eso favorece mejores roces con la cara. La cabeza no se safa y es muy fácil de limpiar. Se puede mojar sin problemas y el agua no entorpece el agarre ergonómico. No se atasca con la espuma de afeitar y eso es sensacional. Recomendable al 100 %

Little technique & wet shaving results this much result within 5-6 minutes. Now if your wrist can act like pivoting head to follow the contours of your face then this is the perfect shaver. Also sensitive skin with dry shave can lead to read marks but why use dry if we can finish within 5 minutes with foam or gel. Just wash it with a hot water while shaver is on & it will clean itself perfectly. Super easy!!! As no one can guess that whether you used saftey razor or this shaver. It's completely value for money. I become a fan of Braun with its cheapest line of shaver series. No doubt this is the no 1 brand in the world for electric foil shavers.

Ottimo! Funziona bene anche il piccolo rifinitore
