Despite not being perfect in every situation and some series offering better performance and value than others, Braun electric shavers are among the best out there. In fact, it offers 30% less skin irritation in the neck area than rotary systems with built-in skin conditioners. However, there are a couple of exceptions and gotchas as well and I will address them explicitly when presenting each of the series.
The Series 3 and Series 3 ProSkin families include both wet/dry (cordless only) and dry-only models that will work while charging. The original 83 Series 8 solo (and cc) shavers will work with the basic station (no active drying), but also with the more advanced one shipped with the 84 and 85 Series 8. It even manages to capture flat hairs that go in different directions quite well, although is not as good as the Series 9 in that regard. Apart from the points mentioned above, there is absolutely no difference between them, they use the same shaving block and the performance will be the same. While the 340s-4 is quite capable, your shaving experience won’t be that good as you may experience some pulling and of course, the closeness of the shave will suffer.Since the 32b and 32s will also work on the basic Series 3 models like the 300s, that’s a quick and inexpensive upgrade.
Offering dry, cordless use, the charging base will also clean the shaver for easy maintenance, whilst a one hour charge will provide 50 minutes of usage.Because the basic Series 3 and the Proskin are two distinct sub-families, I will present them in two separate comparison tables. Compatible with new generation of Series 5, Series 6 and Series 7 razor (50-XXXXX/60-XXXXX/70-XXXXX). However, there are some differences between a standard S9 model like the 9390cc and a Pro or Pro+ S9 when it comes to shaving performance. washable and waterproof: Braun shavers have a fully sealed body and can be rinsed quickly under running water. Side note: the original S9 came with the 90s and 90b cassettes that had some reliability issues as per many user reviews.
And by that I mean the Series 8 is less refined (louder and vibrates more), it needs a bit more effort with flat-lying hairs and it’s not quite as smooth on the skin as the old S7. However, there’s nothing wrong with getting a faster and more powerful shaver if you have the budget for it. All Series 3 models come with the 21b shaving head (aka cassette) but are compatible with the 32b cassette of the superior ProSkin line.
You won’t however benefit much from the upgrade since the Series 7 70 shaver is also significantly more powerful, so just swapping the head of a Series 5 50 won’t turn it into a Series 7. Further reading: for a very detailed and comprehensive comparison, you can check out my Series 9 guide.
In my guide on how to lubricate an electric shaver you’ll also find a few recommendations for clipper oils and lubricating sprays. waterproof and fully washable: Braun shavers have a fully sealed body and can be rinsed quickly and easily under running water. There’s a lot to talk about the different model names and accessories and I wrote a comprehensive Series 8 guide if you want all the details.Having tested it extensively and having owned a couple of the old-generation shavers, I can say without a doubt that the new Series 5 is not in any way an upgrade. And even though Braun integrated trimmers are not as effective as the ones on Panasonic shavers, they’re still better than not having one at all.
Great Deal
