Braun Series 3-360 Shaver Great Shave for the Price

Braun Series 3-360 Shaver Great Shave for the Price.
I've been using electric shavers for almost 25 years, and this Braun Series 3 - 360 is one of the best that has ever tackled my whiskers each morning. I bought 1 of these shavers at Target for almost $90. Then I bought this one on Amazon for half the price so I would have a spare when the one I currently use dies from extended use.

The unit initially charges quickly, and interim charges take less than an hour, unless the unit is fully discharged. One of the unique charging features of this Braun is the "5-minute charge." If you do happen to wake up and your shaver is completely discharged, a quick 5-minute charge will give the shaver enough power for one shave.

Even though this is a single blade shaver (high-end Braun shavers have 2 blade heads), I continue to experience close, even shaves after more than 9 months. Braun recommends that you replace the blade and foil after 18 months. There is a built-in notification system in the shavers Power-on and Power-level lights.

Shaving with this Braun is extremely comfortable. The foils glides over my skin with no irritation. It efficiently cuts my wishers with no drag. It never feels like it is actually pulling my whiskers out of my skin. I have had some electric shavers that gave me razor like nicks that actually bleed. This Braun is very gentle on my skin.

In reading the other reviews, it is frequently mentioned that some are having problems with the head assembly popping off; I have had this happen on occasion, but it happened when I was really pressing the razor foils hard against my skin and moving it around. I've found that I can prevent that my only applying moderate pressure against my skin. It still shaves my face just as well and the razor head does not pop off.

One last item, Braun's Instructions inform you that running the razor and the blade under water is a convenient method for cleaning your whiskers from the shaver. I have found that this process leaves water in the razor assembly even after it has sat overnight, and it interferes with shaving because of the dampness in the blade. If you want a great method for cleaning out the whiskers, I've got a can of compressed air that I use for this purpose. Works great!
