Braun Series 3 Electric Razor Men Wet Dry Shaver
Make daily shaving faster and more comfortable with the Braun Series 3 ProSkin 3040s.
This rechargeable electric razor men can use for both wet and dry shaving features three independently moving shaving elements that adapt to facial contours and help maintain consistent contact with the skin.
Braun’s MicroComb technology guides more facial hair toward the cutting elements with each stroke, helping the shaver work efficiently across short stubble and three-day beards. The SensoFoil shaving surface is designed to cut facial hair while providing a smooth and comfortable experience against the skin.
Choose a quick dry shave before work or use the shaver with water, shaving foam, or gel for a more refreshing wet shave. Its waterproof construction also allows convenient shower use and easy rinsing under running water.
For detailed grooming, the integrated precision trimmer helps shape sideburns, maintain a moustache, and define beard edges. The textured rubber grip provides secure control, even when the shaver or your hands are wet.
With rechargeable cordless operation, a quick-charge function, and automatic worldwide voltage adjustment, the Braun Series 3 is suitable for everyday use at home and convenient grooming while travelling.
