Braun Series 3: Shave away the weekend with maximum comfort, for a smoother start to your week
Shaving away the weekend’s stubble for that professional Monday-morning look doesn’t have to be painful. Braun’s Series 3 390cc shaver removes even longer stubble and minimizes irritating tugging and pulling, so you can start the week smoothly.
Designed to minimize skin irritation
Some shaver systems are known to pull & tug at longer hairs, causing discomfort when shaving longer stubble (e.g. after the weekend). The New Series 3 has been engineered to combat this problem and radically reduces skin irritation when shaving longer stubble.
Triple Action FreeFloat System
Braun’s Series 3 390cc shaver has unprecedented levels of adaptability - the ultra-adaptable FreeFloat system gives the user a shave customised for their own facial contours and improved shaving performance of long hairs. With three independently-floating shaving elements, including two foils and one middle trimmer combination, the Braun Series 3-390cc provides incredible adaptability – ensuring a superbly smooth and comfortable shave. The 3-Stage Cutting System shaves progressively closer in one stroke 1. The first foil shaves shorter stubble, 2. The middle trimmer tackles longer ones, 3. next foil cuts these down to leave a smooth result.
Show and tell
The Series 3 range includes an easy-to-read display showing instantly if your shaver is charged. With 4 x LED technology, you can see if your shaver is charged and ready to go, plus indicators for cleaning and replacement parts.
Smoothly stylish
Braun understands that as well as a comfortable and smooth shave, every man demands a shaver that looks stylish. With its slimmer handle and great ergonomics, the Braun Series 3 ticks all the boxes. The higher usage of soft materials means that each shaver in the range is smart and stylish (see image on right), while not compromising on ease of use. The grip is comfortable and makes the shaver brilliantly easy to control.
The Braun Series 3 390cc takes 1 hour to fully charge, for 45 minutes shaving, or a 5 minute quick charge for one shave.
The Braun Series 3 390cc Shaver comes with a Manufacturer's 2 year guarantee.
Why Dry Shave?
Comfort / Less irritation - foils protect the skin and reduce pulling and tugging minimising skin irritation during and after the shave.
Convwetenience - a hassle-free shaving experience, without the need for soap or foam.
Closeness - today’s foil shavers can achieve exceptionally smooth results that last all day.
Speed - a quick and easy shaving solution.
Hygiene - rinse under the tap for easy cleaning, or use the Braun Clean&Renew cleaning system for exceptional results.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
The first thing I noticed about the 390cc-3 is that despite its RRP being £90 cheaper than my old Braun 790cc, both shavers are almost identical. A quick comparison confirmed that the heads are exactly the same, both having the 3-stage cutting & FreeFloat systems. Both also use Braun's Clean & Renew system. The only thing the 390cc-3 is lacking is the Series 7's Sonic Technology which I didn't even notice was absent when I shaved with it, only when I checked the box afterwards. So unless you feel this is worth forking out an extra £90 for (and I don't particularly) then you can't go wrong with the 390cc-3.
Another thing the 390cc-3 & 790cc have in common is both provide what is by far the most comfortable & close electric shave I have ever experienced. I only shave around 2-3 times a week but even with my tricky stubble, the foils don't get too hot & I am always left with a comparatively smooth, rash-free finish. I guess this means the 3-Stage Cutting System for combatting different lengths of stubble really works - it's not as close as a Gillette Fusion wet shave but it's not a million miles off, either. Not only does it shave well, but the 390cc-3 is also a sexy looking beast & feels good to hold, with a slim body that feels secure in my hand, even when wet. Its battery-life indicator is also nice & clear, holding 45 minutes of charge.
If you're not familiar with Braun's Clean & Renew system, it consists of a plastic pot which your shaver stands head-down in. This recharges the battery & cleans the head with its alcohol-based cleaning solution. You can also rinse it under the tap, although this isn't quite as effective. At first, I thought this was a bit of a gimmick - Braun trying to get shaver users to fork out for cleaning fluid since they aren't buying disposable blades or foam. But when I remember how clogged up my old shaver used to get with bits of stubble which I couldn't get out, it's not something I want to go back to. It really is like using a new, fresh-smelling shaver each time.
The Braun 390cc-3 looks good, feels good & performs well. Don't bother forking out more for a more expensive Braun with exactly the same heads - the 390cc-3 has everything you need.

Previously owned a Braun - had to buy another
This model is the best I have used - light, easy to hold and use
The cleaner is good - and, when cleaner not to hand - can be washed under a tap
The only down side is that the refills are quite expensive - but they can be made to last longer than the month indicated - wash it under the tap
I am extemely pleased with the shaver - up to Braun's super standard - and it does what it is supposed to do - GIVE A VERY CLOSE SHAVE THAT LASTS
Well recommended - go out and buy one now!

Like many, I have quite sensitive skin when it comes to shaving and have used a Philips coolskin shaver for the past 8 years. These were always about 40% more than the standard models, I paid it so I could use them in the shower with the king of shaves sensitive gel being applied beforehand to lessen the discomfort.
About 4 months ago I recently purchased the new slimmer Coolshave model from Philips and found it really irritated my skin. As they have changed the head design, it gives a good shave around the chin area, but cannot get the neck hairs, so you had to really apply pressure to try and get them. It would then periodically pull them which obviously hurts. My neck then came up with spots, as the blades just cannot cope...... DON'T BUY THE NEW THIN PHILIPS COOLSHAVE MODELS.
We then come to this Braun 3 390cc. For those of you that have not spotted, this is the same model as the £65 version on Amazon, but is the NEW just released model. I decided to pay the bit extra to get this over the small saving to go with the older model. I was told they have improved the head design on this model. I have never owned a Braun before, but appreciated the many reviews on Amazon.
I looked at the Braun 3, 5 & 7 models, but could not honestly see any benefit of using them over this Braun 3 390cc model. I actually prefer the slightly smaller size of this model too. I charged it for 4 hours, as per the instructions for the 1st charge and then tried it out. What a smooth & comfortable experience! No pulls on neck hairs and it did a great job. I managed to shave in probably a third of the time it took me to use the philips coolskin, as with that shaver, I had to re shave 3-4 times in one session. With this Braun, there was no need to apply oil on my face beforehand, no need for water or gel either, so that will save me money!
Today I shaved after 2 days of growth and again no pulling of neck hairs, no rash and a VERY smooth shave once again. I am converted so well done Braun for producing a competitively priced, top quality & smart shaver! I am also impressed by the 2 year warranty for peace of mind.
I have not used the cleaning system yet, but probably will do once a month, as I don't think it needs it weekly if you are shaving every day. I have just pulled off the head unit and have given it a quick blow to remove the shavings. Great.
I love the fact that the shaver charging lead can be used by itself, plugging directly into the shaver when away from home, or in the cleaning unit if you need to use that. Also the neat black hard case is a blessing that comes free with the Braun. I need this when on holiday With my Philips coolskin, it only had a soft case which was not as protective.
In summary, great price and all that I expected if not more! I don't think y
