S3 S&S 300BT

I have had a Braun electric shaver for over 20 years but the battery had deteriorated and getting replacement cutters/foils was becoming challenging and quite expensive, so I decided it was time for a replacement! Positives: - The shaver is quieter than my old one when operational. - The 2 foils and cutter strip all flex to fit the contours of my face and resulted in a smooth shave that took less time than using the old one which is good, with no skin irritation so far. - There is a plastic cover that protects the foils and also extends over the on/off button to prevent it being accidentally turned on in luggage etc. This will materially reduce the risk of damaging the foils (and avoids expensive replacements!). The only drawbacks are: - There isn't an integrated 'straight trimmer' to tidy up sideburns etc. The shaver comes supplied with a separate trimmer attachment and 4 combs to enable cutting to different lengths, which is good as it adds functionality, but personally I would prefer an integrated trimmer like the one I had on my old razor as it is more convenient, especially when travelling. However as I don't use that every day it is not a major inconvenience to have the separate attachment. - It is supplied with a small pouch designed to house the trimmer attachment, combs and brush, but it is not big enough to hold the shaver itself. Thankfully the shaver is almost the same size as my old one so I can use the travel case that came with that, but if you want something to keep the shaver clean when travelling you would need to buy a case. Overall I think this shaver is good quality and excellent value for money.

It has been a long time since I have used a Braun shaver. I switched to Remington shavers decades ago but recently they have become painful to use with a new foil style that nicks/nips your face. I decided to go back to Braun and bought the S3. This model is pretty much as I recall Braun shavers. A very average middle range shaver compared to the Remingtons - before they started not nick/nipping your face ( see separate Remington F4 Review ). The Braun has a smaller foil than I am used to. The Braun is not as quick a shaver as I am used to with more passes required. It’s a bit bland in performance and slightly over priced but effective. I bought the S3 when it was allegedly cheap at £50 instead of the RRP of £125. I would have expected more for a £125 shaver. At times it reminds me of a Junior Toolset many blokes will have had as a youngster. A bit of a entry level, safe, starters shaver compared to the full tool kit in the shed you build up in later life. At the moment it is a known name and better than the current range of Remingtons. A big advantage over remington models is the cost of replacement foils. I can get three replacement foils for the Braun for less than the cost of one remington foil. This Braun shaver is rapidly growing on me.

Really pleased with this razor, the first time I have tries one with a foil head and have to say it is much better than the very expensive rotary ones I have previously used, Very quick shave lasts well on battery no complaints other that you cannot use whilst plugged in.

Great electric shaver with built in trimmer. Comfortable to use and easy to rinse clean. Even use while wet.

Really good shave and keeps charge for ages.

My son has been using another well know brand shaver for sometime and it finally gave up. I thought an ‘upgrade’ would be good, and thought a different brand might be a good try. On the previous one, the whole head moved, on this just the foils do. It's not too good at chowing straight into week long stubble as a previous brand we used. In fact, the results were pretty rough doing that, much longer time to shave and didn't do such a clean job. To combat this, I coax my son to try a different approach (he has autism, change isn't easy) - the compromise is to shave twice a week, just using the foils, but also using the trimmer (quite basic but functional) to help him take some of the thickness out (his beard grows very quickly). This is working well, despite the protests (did I say he doesn't like shaving?!). It is actually quite a nice and robust shaver, light weight and with decent foils and easy to clean. It's giving a better shave over all I think and great on his skin (not necessarily sensitive but prone to spots). If you're also a reluctant shaver and like to just do so once a week, you may wish to invest a bit more for something that will tackle that. If you like a beard there's a beard trimmer. No carry bag which is a shame. And you'll need a shaver adapter plug. The charge lasts well, and the charge level indicator means you’re not half way through a shave when it stops!

Het is een prima scheerapparaat. Scheert goed glad, opzetstukken die erbij zitten, heb ik niet gebruikt, heb geen baard. Maakt wel veel lawaai, maar daar staat Braun om bekend, erg vind ik het niet, dus geen minpunt verder. Prima aankoop.

El producto que me ha llegado no se corresponde con la imagen. Me ha llegado solo la máquina, con el otro cabezal y un peine. Compré este porque en la imagen (la única que incluye, por cierto) se ven claramente 5 peines, no uno ajustable.

ottimo prodotto e ottimo prezzo

Je me suis toujours rasé au rasoir ordinaire mécanique pour ne pas avoir très jeune, été satisfait par aucun rasoir électrique. Seuls les Braun sortaient déjà du lot. Et là, j'avoue que c'est pas mal du tout, il y a un réel progrès (en 50 ans). C'est presque aussi bien que mon bi-lames que j'utilise depuis toujours. La peau n'est pas plus irritée, la batterie reste chargée très longtemps, c'est rasé de très près. En un mot je suis vraiment satisfait de ce rasoir pas cher (pas comme l'étui de rangement) et à ceux qui sont réticents comme je l'étais, je vous conseille d'essayer.

It is a very good electric shaver. following are the pros: 1. Ergonomics of the shaver is so good that it provides very firm grip over the shaver while using it. 2. Shaving is very smooth without leaving any scar on the skin. 3. Product gives best result when used on dry skin and the stubble is not more than one or two days old. 4. Since it is water resistant, cleaning under water is very safe and effective. 5. Battery life is very good. Takes less than one hour to get fully charged which is good enough for shaving twice, at least. Few cons: 1. It does not come with any accessories. Particularly the lack of side trimer makes it very inconvenient to trim sideburns. 2. Most important drawback is that finding the replacement head is very difficult as well as costly. Over all, it is a good product and one should try it without any hesitation.
