Braun Series 3-360 REVIEWS

Braun Series 3-360 Nice and simple and gets the job done.
I had used a Remington Classic since around 1986. Since they stopped making that, I just wanted a simple shaver that can handle longer stubble without fuss (I often go a few days without shaving). This one fits the bill. Things I like:

1. No fancy "cleaning station" to take up yet more real estate on my bathroom counter - also less bulky for travel, and I can handle cleaning under the tap and with a brush anyway.
2. Hacks through a few days of stubble without any problem - actually a pleasure to use, feels kinda like a cadillac running around your face
3. There is a trimmer in between the two foils, which I believe helps to handle the longer hairs.
4. Also a pop-up trimmer for doing stuff like cleaning up the hairs above the ear area etc. Works very well.
5. Charges up reasonably quickly (a couple of hours).
6. Nice foil guard which also covers the "on" switch for traveling, to make sure it can't switch on in your bag
7. Very simple universal charger which is light and works with 110-240V.
8. The head has independent suspension - each foil moves like on its own springs. Very nice feeling on the face.
9. Good quality German engineering.

All in all I am very happy with this shaver. The first time I used it, it seemed to not give a very close shave, and pulled a couple of hairs - but subsequent shaves have been much better. Maybe the shaver needed a day to run in, or maybe I got used to it... either way, I actually look forward to shaving now.

My only concern is that there is apparently a nickel metal hydride battery inside, rather than lithium, which means it'll probably eventually run out of recharge cycles (like my electric toothbrush, which is a few years old now and doesn't hold a charge very long any more). Also I can't see any instructions for replacing the battery, so I guess once that goes then it's time for a new shaver. But in the meantime I'm sure I'll get a couple of years at least of good, fuss-free shaving. 


Braun Series 3-360 Great shave.
Great shave. I haven't used an electric in years, but was forced to due to health issues. The Braun works great, cleans easily and no problems.
