Description

The Braun Series 3 3040 Wet & Dry is a good choice if you have starting or light beard growth. The electric shaver has 3 different shaving elements, consisting of 2 shaver foils and a middle trimmer that lifts up the beard hairs prior to shaving. The shaving elements move independently so you can follow the contours of your face. In addition, the shaver has an extendable precision trimmer to tidy up your sideburns. Other than that, the shaver is waterproof, so you can choose a shaving method that suits you; dry, wet, or in the shower. Clean-shaven now? Simply rinse the shaver head under the faucet.

Note: are you switching from a rotating electric shaver to this electric shaver? Give yourself a couple of weeks to get used to this new shaving system. Once you've mastered the technique, you can effortlessly give yourself a smooth shave.

Shaving and trimming wet and dry

  • Shaving head consists of 3 parts and moves with it
  • Shaving wet and dry
  • Precision trimmer
  • Shave less well with a longer beard

The Braun Series 3 ProSkin is an ideal shaver if you like to keep your beard smooth and tight. Thanks to the 3 attachments, I can neatly shave the corners of my beard. The model is waterproof, so I also use it in the shower. With a longer beard, he only shaves less well.

Shaving head with 3 flexible parts
The shaver head consists of 3 parts that move with the shape of your face. This means I don't skip any hairs and I also shave corners and other hard-to-reach places well. Because the shaving head moves so well, my skin is never irritated during or after shaving.

Shaving wet and dry
I usually use the shaver dry, but sometimes I also use it in the shower. The shaver is waterproof, so I rinse it under the tap after dry use. This keeps the shaving head clean. Even when I use shaving cream, the device shaves neatly and tightly.

Precision trimmer
When I trim my beard, I use the precision trimmer. I slide this one up when I use it. I find it ideal if I'm trimming or shaving my sideburns or wanting to keep up with my beard without shaving everything smooth. You just don't set the trimmer in different lengths. If you have a longer beard, it will also take a little longer before you shave completely close again. That's why I usually keep up with trimming a bit.

Long battery life
The battery lasts 45 minutes. With that battery life I can always go a week ahead. If I suddenly have an empty battery, I put it in the charger. After 1 hour, it is fully charged thanks to the fast charger.

Excellent shaver, shaves fast and close

  • shaves fast
  • longer hair better shaved
  • also suitable in the shower, and with gel
  • protective cap is not tight

The differences with the predecessor, the 340s are in design a different plastic cap to protect the shaving foils, and the grip of the 3040s feels different.
Functionally, the only difference is the white conduction from longer beard hairs to the middle blade, which is intended for shaving longer hairs.
This device shaves noticeably faster, especially if your beard has been standing for a few days.
The grip feels nice, and is also easy to hold in the shower. My experience is that shaving with shaving gel gives the best results, especially because everything stays nice and cool on your skin.
But dry shaving is also good, and is especially useful if you want to shave quickly. Cleaning after a few dry shaves is easy. You knock out the shaving foil part on a flat surface, and use the supplied brush for the mechanism in the device.
Or you rinse everything under a (warm) tap. The plastic protective cover has slots, so any moisture will evaporate after you have stored the device.
I myself use a drop of sewing machine oil every week to maintain the shaving heads. This will probably extend its life.
Inside the device is a counter that keeps track of how long it has been shaved in total, and after a year and a half or so it will recommend that the heads be renewed.
The clippers work well, I find it a bit difficult to extend, but that is also a bit of getting used to.
I think the plastic protective cover is a bit loose, which can probably come loose if you put the device in a toilet bag. That was slightly better with the 340s, due to a different design, but I would still choose the 3040 over the 340, especially because of the longer hair guide.
The 3040 has one more LED to better see how full the device is, but in practice you never pay attention to that. You shave until it's empty, then charge. Charging for 5 minutes is also enough for a shave when the battery is empty.
Total charging takes just over an hour, so that's pretty fast too.
In the end, the device shaves quickly and close for an electric shaver. The fact that it can also be used with shaving foam, gel and in the shower is certainly an advantage when choosing.

Excellent

  • Price
  • None so far (shortly owned though)

Couldn't see how a device four times the price could give a better shave, let alone four times better. But of course one beard is not the other, but for a medium beard growth like mine, this one works really well (and imo much better than such a three-headed from the competitor). Cleaning is a breeze because it is waterproof.
