Best shaver I’ve ever had, November 20, 2009

I have used electric shavers for almost 45 years and this is the best yet. I started shopping because local stores no longer stock replacement foils and cutters for my old Braun 3000.

I chose this mid-range product because the 7 series is way too expensive, the 5 series tilting heads seem too gimmicky and their replacement cutters cost more than even though the foils seem to be identical in design to those of the 3 series.

The Series 3 370 is bigger and heavier than my old shaver, but the heft feels good and the handle design and rubberized gripping surfaces on both sides make it easy to hold and control.

I almost bought a series 3 340, but opted for the 370 for just more because of the “lock” switch that lowers one foil and the middle cutter to make it easier to get at the area under the nose. I’m glad I did, because it really does work.

What surprised me most is how much more comfortable the shave is with the 370 than…

smooth, but not that close, January 30, 2010

The 3 370 shaver glides over your face easily but that may be because it isn’t shaving that close. My old Braun (model 5525) still shaves well but wasn’t charging for as long as it used to so I bought this model.

I don’t like the fact that it has to have its own unique cord. I bet they charge a fortune if you lose it. Shaver doesn’t have a plastic head cover so you need to put it back into its hard plastic case to protect the shaving head. The case doesn’t have room for the cord so it needs to be packed separately when travelling.

Easy to clean with running water for the head and a shaver brush (not included – keep your old one) for the shaver itself.

Good bang for your buck, February 1, 2010

I purchased this shaver a couple of weeks ago. I was using an older 1000 series Braun before this one. It was cheap and worked well for the or so I orginally purchased for. The bad thing is that the replacement head is almost as expensive as the original unit. So I began to look for a new unit all together.

I looked at most of the reviews and found that the earlier version of this same shaver wasn’t exactly great. The new version seemed to address some of the flaws the old one had and I decided for the , why not. I’ve been using this for a little over a week and it is very smooth over my face. No razor bumps or irritation (I must note that I never got razor bumps or irritation on my other shaver, nor do I consider myself having extremely sensitive skin).

As all shavers though, it takes me multiple attempts to get the neck area. It’s a pretty close shave for a shaver, I think it’s simply impossible to compare it to a blade. Another interesting note…
