Features and Specifications Analysis

---

Ergonomic Design

Braun engineered the shaver with a sleek, eye-catching design and a fully black appearance.

The body of the shaver is fully black.

A shaver may feel uncomfortable in the grip while shaving, but Braun designed the shaver with an intelligent structure as anyone can feel very comfortable in shaving time.

The shaver is a great example of simplicity as it has a simple and smart look.

Pressure-Sensitive Shaving Elements

The German technology Braun engineered the Braun 300s shaver with pressure-sensitive shaving elements.

The shaving elements are very flexible to follow the skin contact and reach heard to reach areas.

These elements make the shaver very comfortable for any skin type.

While passing over the skin, the sensitive foils softly glide over the skin and very mildly cut the facial hair from a very close position.

Thus you can get a comfortable, close, and very smooth shave every time.

According to the cutting elements, we rate it 9 or more out of 10 together.

You will find the same result while checking the customer’s reaction.

100% Waterproof

An electric device with a waterproof body is really adorable.

Yes, the Braun Series 3 300s electric shaver is 100% water resistant up to 5 meters.

So, there is very little risk of water causing problems while having a shave under the shower.

If the shaver accidentally falls into the water while shaving, you do not need to panic, as it will not cause any problems.

Since 100% waterproof, the cleaning and maintenance process becomes pretty easy and effortless.

Not Wet and Dry Shaver

Although 100% waterproof, it doesn’t mean it will give you a wet/dry shaving facility like the other premium Braun shavers.

Driving it into foamy or creamy facial hair will not perform well.

But we must keep the price in mind as we can not expect a wet and dry shaver in this price range.

If this is a negative feature, you should try premium creations like the Braun Series 9 or Series 5 shavers.

Cordless and Corded Use

This must be a crazy feature in an electric shaver or trimmer.

Very few electric shavers offer this facility, even most of the Braun’s premium shavers do not offer the corded feature.

You can have corded and corded operations with the Braun 300s razor.

When your battery is dead of charge, you can have an urgent shave with a direct plug-in into the electricity.

But remember that never operate the shaver corded when the shaver is wet.

Before a corded operation, ensure the shaver is fully dry, and have a shave in a dry environment.

Another adorable point in this new shaver is it comes with a worldwide voltage charging adapter.

The charging cord is very long ( longer than 5 feet).

Powerful NiMH Battery

The new shaver Braun series 3 300s comes with 2 powerful LiMH batteries.

The batteries offer 30 minutes of cordless performance with 1 hour of charge.

Braun promises the batteries will perform for a very long time, and you do not need to replace them soon.

The shaver provides enough juice for a full shave after 5 minutes of quick charge.

So, if your battery is fully dead and you need an urgent shave, but you do not want to have a shave by plug-in, you can have a quick charge within 5 minutes.

The 5-minute charge is enough to have a perfect shave.

Performance

Since the shaver features 3 pressure-sensitive shaving elements, there is no objection to skin irritations.

The flexibility and mildness of the shaving elements ensure a very comfortable performance every time.

Although pressure sensitive, the shaver is tough for the hairs as it cuts the beard very closely for a smooth and well-finished shave.

You do not need to make a double pass in a place to make it closer. So, in a word, this is a very mild shaver for the skin but tough for beards.

The motor is also good enough to perform flawlessly and quickly.

Some users objected to the battery performance.

Some say it performs only 20-25 minutes with a full shave, and some got full 30 minutes of performance.

But I think this is not a major issue as the shaver offers corded operation and a quick charging option.

The only objection is that this shaver has no popup trimmer, while most of the series 3 shavers have the popup trimmer option.

So, it is a little uncomfortable to shape our sideburns or shape a mustache.

A similar product, the Braun 3040s, has a very good popup trimmer which costs almost the same.

This shaver has no wet/dry feature, so it may be uncomfortable for men who like wet shaves with shaving cream, gel, foam, or other liquid.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The Braun 300s electric shaver is 100% water-resistant.

So the cleaning and maintenance process is very easy.

Just hold the shaver head under the running water and clean it.

For thorough cleaning, you can remove the foil cassette and rinse it.

Braun includes a little cleaning brush to make manual cleanings easy.

As the shaver is not wet/dry, you do not need to take extra care of thorough cleaning to make it germ-free.

Replacement Parts

Since this shaver has no fancy option, you do not need to replace other things.

Braun recommends replacing the foil cassette every 18 months, and you will get better performance.

The replacement foil of the Braun series 3 300s is Braun 21B.

Pros

• Pressure-sensitive shaving elements
• Very comfortable performance
• Cordless and corded
• Very close result
• 100% waterproof
• 2 years guarantee

Cons

• Not wet/dry
• No popup trimmer
• Battery charge should be longer
• No travel bag included

Verdict

The performance of this shaver is pretty appreciable.

But it lacks some extra features like wet and dry shaving facilities.

But it would be a great shaver for men who do not need a wet shave and want a very close shave at an affordable price.

This is a very simple electric shaver and does not have any heavy features in it.

So, if you like extra features like wet/dry shaving, popup trimmer, cleaning, or charging unit, you can try Braun’s premium shavers instead (series 9, series 5).

But it would be a great choice for men who do not need fancy features and like to have dry close shaves every time.

The performance of the shaver is appreciated.
