What reviewers say

Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?

Series 3 3040s
across 5 reviews
3.5/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Three independently flexing shaving elements adapt to facial contours, reducing the need to stretch skin
  • Fully waterproof design allows wet or dry shaving and easy rinse-cleaning under running water
  • Pop-up precision trimmer on the rear is useful for sideburns and detail work
Reviewers push back
  • Struggles with growth beyond roughly three days, leaving patches and requiring multiple slow passes
  • Cannot be used while plugged in, so the battery must be charged before shaving
  • No travel case included, only a blade cover
A capable daily-use foil shaver that handles light-to-moderate growth well, but struggles with longer stubble and lacks the speed of higher-tier models.
— best for: Men who shave daily or every two days, have lighter beard growth, and want a waterproof foil shaver that is easy to clean without a charging dock.
Series 3 ProSkin 3040s
across 5 reviews
3.5/5
divided
Reviewers praise
  • Three independently flexing shaving elements adapt to facial contours and make shaving under the nose and along the jaw manageable
  • Fully waterproof construction allows wet and dry shaving, and cleaning under running water
  • Slim, ergonomic head with rubberized grip sits comfortably in hand; power button placement reduces accidental shut-off
Reviewers push back
  • Struggles noticeably with more than two to three days of growth, leaving patches and requiring multiple slow passes
  • Does not come with a travel case, only a blade cover
  • Hairs can become trapped in the micro-comb teeth and are difficult to dislodge, even with the included brush
A capable entry-level foil shaver that works well for daily or every-other-day use, but struggles with longer growth and lacks the speed and closeness of higher-tier shavers.
— best for: Someone who shaves daily or every couple of days, wants wet or dry flexibility, and does not need the speed or deep closeness of a premium foil shaver.

I am 70 years old, I have used various foil shavers exclusively for my entire shaving life, and this Braun model is turning out to be the best ever. While it started out a bit hard on my skin, that irritation was to be expected after I changed from a different brand. The recommended modular head replacement (blade foil) is 18 months, but I ran mine for 23 months before a tiny pin hole in the foil Mark · walmart.com
