Product FAQS


How long can I expect my shaver to last?

Braun shavers are designed and tested to last at least 6 years (excluding the shaving cassette - use as indicated). 

What's the difference between foil and rotary shavers?

Rotary shavers are designed to work with cyclical movements while Braun foil shavers are designed to work with efficient sideways movements on the skin giving perfect control and precision. The foils protect the skin from irritation and are specifically designed to deliver the most thorough and comfortable shave from Braun. I already have a cleaning station from my previous Braun shaver (Pulsonic or Synchro). Can I use it with the new Series 3 shaver?

No, the new Series 3 Clean & Renew System is the latest model from the Braun Clean & Renew line and can't be used with previous shaver models. The latest Clean & Renew System provides you with the best technology available in a cleaning & charging system. Do you have any recommendation on how to shave with an electric foil shaver?

We recommend that you shave before you take a shower. After a few days without shaving, for example during the weekend, you should trim your stubble before you shave. Stretch the skin and shave against the direction of beard growth. Hold the shaver at a right angle (90°) to your skin. Keep the pressure even to achieve the the most thorough and comfortable shave from Braun.

How often do I need to change the shaver head?

We recommend replacing all cutter parts every 18 months. We included a replacement part indicator in the display to ensure you know when to exchange the cutter parts, in order for your shaver to always stay at 100% performance.

Does the Braun Series 3 have a warranty? How long is it?

All Braun's shavers come with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty.

This review is from: Braun 3Series 340S-4 Wet & Dry Shaver (Health and Beauty)
I have been using Remington shavers for years, but since they started coming from China, the build quality has been steadily declining. They recently redesigned the screen and cutter to make it cheaper to produce and rendered it virtually useless. I decided to jump ship and paid quite a bit more for a Braun, thinking they might still be made in Europe. WRONG! They're made in China like most everything else these days.

I have been using the Braun Series 3 model 340s for the better part of a year now and here's what I found. It seems to take half again as long to complete a shave as the older Remingtons and it's nearly impossible to remove all the hair from the neck area just below the chin. Granted, that's not easy to do, but the Braun has a special screen and cutter in between the main screens that's supposed to get the longer hairs. It doesn't cut them and tends to pull them instead. My four-o'clock shadow appears a little after noon time. Now, my beard is neither...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Really love this Shaver, January 16, 2012

This review is from: Braun 3Series 340S-4 Wet & Dry Shaver (Health and Beauty)
This Braun 340S-4 is so much better than my previous Braun shaver. The older version (5776) was flimsier. Compared with the older 5776, the construction of the 340S-4 is superior in every way. The Cutter-Foil Cartridge is solidly designed albeit expensive. The 5776's Cartridge was a mess and the trimmer kept disconnecting from the main body of the shaver. I am glad that Braun fixed this in the 340S-4 model.

I shave every day, and I shave my full head, not just my face. I find this Braun 340S-4 to be very comfortable, close shaving, well made and non-irritating. I have nothing to say against this shaver, but it IS on the pricy side.

I do have to rework some areas of my head and face to get the shave that I want, but I so far have not seen any shaver that did better.

I get three shaves from a single charge which is better than the 5776 did, but I miss the fact that the 5776 allowed me to shave while charging, which the newer 340S-4 does not (it...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Have never been able to shave every day until now., March 11, 2012
Scott Ross (COUDERSPORT, PA, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Braun 3Series 340S-4 Wet & Dry Shaver (Health and Beauty)
I am a 45 year old guy who has never been able to shave every day. I usually shaved once a week with the typical 5 blade razor and shaving cream. If I tried to shave every day, my face would break out and I could not stand the pain of shaving it every day. I just started a new job where a clean shaven face is an unspoken rule. I knew the old stand by manual razor was not going to work. I started looking for an electric razor to use. I spent time researching on line to see what I wanted to get. I knew I wanted a braun but was not sure which one. I chose the 340-S because of the lower price and the fact that it is a wet dry shaver. I have had it a week now and have shaved every day but yesterday. The first couple of days there was some burning but really nothing that bad. This morning was basically pain free. As for the shave, it is pretty good. My hair grows in multiple directions and almost in circles in some places on my face so it has been tough to get them all. I also...Read more
