With its foil shaving system, Braun is better for those who prefer a more traditional shaving style akin to a manual razor. However, if you want a razor that reliably contours to your face and you don’t mind the unique circular style of shaving, a Philips razor may be a better option. Not just a good shaver for the money, but a good shaver full stop, this Braun braun shaver Series 3 model comes with many of the features you’d expect from pricier models including waterproofing and quick charging in five minutes. Better still, its design is functional but sturdy with plenty of grip and a pleasant weightiness. Obviously, it won’t go around winning any electric shaver beauty contests, but — as far as we know — they’re not a thing.
For your holiday shopping list, Braun should certainly make the cut. Not only will it elevate your day-to-day trimming, but it’s a luxury purchase one normally wouldn’t make for themselves. Meet the Braun Series 9 Pro Electric Shaver, which makes an iconic gift for holiday gifting.
It is difficult to determine just how much of an effect the irregular pattern has on shaving. Since the higher models of braun face shavers adequately shave with an irregular foil pattern then I believe the Series 3 can too, but more on that when test the shaver further down the review. Pressing and holding the power button for 5 seconds resets this timer. Personally I would have preferred to see a travel lock included over a shaver timer but since the power button is surprisingly stiff to push I did not have any trouble with the shaver turning on by accident.
I used Panasonic best shavers for many years – Braun is a serious upgrade in feeling, quality, shave time and maintenance. The shaver made for tricky areas – features 360° adaptation for a smooth shave. Protect your skin from nicks and cuts with the World’s most efficient shaver. Before seeing the Braun Series 9 Pro Electric Shaver firsthand, I thought well, it’s just a heavy duty razor — but is it worth it? The answer is yes, especially if you’re looking for that incredible, gratitude-filled luxury gift for the special someone on your list.
Founded in 1921, Braun is a German consumer products company that has been a subsidiary of Procter & Gamble since 2005. The company first only produced components for radio sets and audio equipment. Then, in the 1950s, Braun began creating the item it is most known for today—the electric shaver, a bladed tool used in the removal of body hair. The Braun company was vital in the development of the modern electric shaver. It’s totally protected against water, and the rubberised ergonomic handles stop it from slipping out your hands as you’re tidying up your whiskers. The three head blades are flexible, sharp, and will keep on shaving for over 60 minutes, with the ability to get five minutes back in a pinch thanks to the USB charge port.
We tested the70-N7200cc with the precision trimmer attachment (it’s$169.99 in the US). The shaver operational sound, we reckon, was roughly between 70dB to 75 dB – about typical for an electric shaver. Within the Series 7 range, you’ll see a number of different model numbers. The difference between them is the accessories they come with – you’ll get the same Series 7 shaver in each one. Braun’s Series 7 is a high quality electric shaver that’s a little bit more affordable than the flagship Series 9.
The foil head comes off by nipping the front and back of the shaver head, and you just click the precision trimmer onto the pins, or vice-versa. Unique to Braun, it’s designed for 50% more battery runtime and up to six weeks of shaves without plugging it in again. The Braun Series 9 Pro 9419s Electric Razor was my winning pick in the tested roundup of the best electric razors for men. At first glance, the biggest difference between the Series 9 and the Series 7 is size.
Of particular note is the Water proof symbol – you can dunk the shaver in water up to a depth of 5 meters, as well as the country of origin, in this case China. The indicator panel allows you to get a rough idea of how much charge is remaining in the battery. I’ll show you how this works further down the review when I cover charging. A textured rubber grip runs around the entire perimeter of the shaver, allowing you to get a good hold on the Series 3 even with hands covered in shaving foam. There are three current models of the Braun Series 3 on the American Market.
