Braun Series 3 ProSkin 3040s - Men's Electric Shaver - Rechargeable - Cordless

The Braun Series 3+ 3040s is built around a narrow, waterproof shaver head. This defines its character: a shaver for both wet and dry use, designed to follow facial contours. Its core consists of two foil shaving elements and a central trimmer. The IP67 certification guarantees complete protection against dust and water immersion, so you can rinse it clean under the tap. With 45 minutes of battery life, it's ready for multiple shaves.

Braun uses a flexible shaving head where the three blades move independently to follow your jawline and neck. An integrated MicroComb – a fine-toothed comb – aims to catch more hair with each pass. Braun claims this system delivers a faster, smoother shave than the previous Series 3 model, based on tests with three days of beard growth. The trade-off is in the specifications: the shaver is intended for light to medium beard growth. Very dense or coarse beards may require more passes.

Under the hood

• IP67 certification – fully dustproof and resistant to immersion.
• 45 minutes battery life – enough for multiple shaves on a single charge.
• 5-minute quick charge – provides enough power for one full shave.
• Integrated precision trimmer – for contouring sideburns or moustache.
• Stainless steel blades – the material of the shaving elements.

The blue, cordless body charges via a mains adapter, with an indicator light signalling when to recharge. You cannot use it while plugged in. The narrow head is designed for hard-to-reach areas like under the nose. At 392 grams (including packaging), it has a solid feel. Braun often associates its 'Made in Germany' stamp with long-term durability.

This is a practical choice if you want the option of wet shaving and easy rinsing. The flexible blades and MicroComb focus on comfort for maintaining a light to medium beard. The precision trimmer handles detail work. There are no adjustable shaving settings or a turbo mode—you get one constant speed. The specifications do not indicate any special design for sensitive skin.

A full charge takes 45 minutes.
