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.

Braun 3Series 380S-4 Wet & Dry Shaver
Received my new Braun 380S-4 Wet & Dry Shaver from my UPS man today. I have been using Norelco Wet Dry Shavers for years now and have been very happy with them with the exception of my last one (Philips Norelco 8020X) which isn't bad but I wouldn't call it great either.
Several disadvantages to the Philips Norelco 8020X is that you have to use it wet as the moisturizing fluid keeps the shaving stubble from getting all over your bathroom sink. The other issue is the difficultly it has always been in getting replacement containers of moisturizer for it, the shaver uses a propitiatory version of HS803 Nivea which not every store caries in stock.
One last negative I have is when shaving my neck area, despite the fact that all three heads "Float" I never get a close shave...Read more

does everything it should, and well.,

This review is from: Braun 3Series 380S-4 Wet & Dry Shaver (Health and Beauty)
Its a great tool. It has a large hair pop out tool (that's not advertised very well), it is waterproof, it has good battery capacity, and it has a feature where you can lower half of the blades to only shave with the top piece (necessary for upper lip under nose). It also comes with a nice carrying case, a charging dock, and a little oil for in the blades. I haven't used it long enough, however, to comment on extended use.

Best Foil Shaver for My Thick Tough Manly Wire-Like Hair Yet!,

This review is from: Braun 3Series 380S-4 Wet & Dry Shaver (Health and Beauty)
I've used this shaver for a few weeks now and am very impressed. In fact, I'm so impressed I just purchased a second one last night for my travel bag I keep with me in my car. I only use it wet with Edge Ultra Sensitive Shave Gel after wetting my face with water as from past experience with other electric shavers that always provides for a far superior shave, hence why I wanted this wet/dry shaver. If you've never tried a wet electric shave, have tough to cut hair, and you shave near a sink, I highly recommend trying it. I haven't tried this shaver dry, so I can not comment on its dry performance.
I primarily use this shaver for my upper lip and the area around my chin, my upper neck (which it still does an amazing job with), and lips since my hair grows even tougher in these areas, they're hard to shave on, and I often end up gashing myself if I use a regular blade. I do find I have to push pretty hard to get a close shave, and I'm wondering what that's going to do to...Read more
