Customer Reviews of Braun Series 3-390cc Men's Shaving System
Customer Review: Best investment I've made for this year
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to use electronic shavers a few years back, and I hated them coz they always left my face incredibly irritated and itchy (since I have sensitive skin) and doesn't shave quite as close as a razor, not to mention taking thrice longer than a razor to shave you.
So when my friend kept bugging me to buy his extra 390cc (he accidentally ordered more than he intended to buy), I was very hesitant. But he was persistent and I thought, for that kind of money I guess the shaver should be somewhat decent, at the very least it should be something I could use when I travel and don't have the luxury to use shaving cream and all that.
And now I'm so happy with it that I've been using it everyday, sometimes even twice a day, for the last 2 months. It gives you a pretty close shave, almost as close to my gilette mach 3. I guess a good comparison is that the closeness the braun shaves me, is about how my face feels 3 hrs after I've shaved with my mach 3. So not bad at all.
Plus now I can throw out all the hassle with having to use shaving cream and needing to shave in front of a sink with running water and all that crap. I shave in bed, while watching tv, even while typing one handed in the computer. AND I don't get the usual cuts and nicks I get from a razor shaver.
I love the self cleaner function of this. So basically I shave, then hang it in it's cradle to clean, charge, and dry. Whenever I travel I leave the cradle at home and just bring the shaver and power chord and simply clean it under running water.
The only draw back is that it takes twice as long to get a close shave with this as I used to with my mach 3. But then again, being able to dry shave for 10 mins while in bed is a lot better than having to take 5 mins to go to the bathroom, put shaving cream on, shave and then cleanup after.
Customer Review: Quiet High Quality Shaver 3-390cc
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this shaver after looking at all the other Series shavers. This shaver was the highest shaver in Series 3, and the lowest price. I probably will only rarely use the cleaning system. The shaver is partially charged out of the box, fully charged a few hours later when I looked. I shaved about 3 minutes a day for 18 days after the first charge and not a heavy beard.
This shaver is less close than my last, a Remington MS3-3700. The Remington can get too close and will chew up your skin, especially when the too-often replaced screens fail. The shave can leave long hairs that need trimed to then shave. At the end of its 6 year life it wouldn't hold a charge and the grip pads were ill-fitting and falling off. Too close is painful.
My shaver was made in Germany. Overall the fit and finish of the Braun is excellant. The shave is quiet, smooth, reasonably close and the shaver is more compact than I expected. It is easy to control over my face. I no longer get the stray long hairs, so the long hair part of the head works as advertised. The charge plug is a little long and it sticks out from the outlet. I clean it manually, but the clean light doesn't know that. I like this shaver.
The purchase was easy, with quick delivery. The other on-site reviews were very helpful. Thanks everyone.
Customer Review: AMAZING!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my husband Christmas 2009. My husband loves loves this shaver but I wanted to wait a little bit before giving any reviews just to make sure he remained very happy with it. After watching the promo on Braun's website about how it's supposed to remove the hassle/pain of shaving after a weekend of no shaving, I had to get it for my hubby. He is the type of man that can shave in the morning and have a beard at the end of the day...not a 5 o'clock shadow but a a good week worth of growth of a normal man's beard. So needless to say he did not shave often and when he did he only took it down to stubble. I figured hey ... give it a try at the very least it couldn't be any worse then all the others that has claimed the same. Well I am here to tell you this shaver is AMAZING! He shaves every other day faithfully! Right down to bare skin. His skins feels soo smooth like a baby's bottom. It makes him look so young and sexy. After 20 years of marriage, to finally feel his face I can not Thank Braun enough!!!Customer Review: Never going back to the 3 cutter product!
Summary: 5 Stars
Having been a former owner of two Norelco products since the mid 1990's I had a need for a new shaver since the old one was literally falling apart. I have been replacing cutters, cleaning heads and used a shaver with a cleaning stand which broke after a year. I felt that after getting mediocre results for years that I would investigate changing brands. The Braun was highly rated by Consumers reports, came with a 60 day money back guarantee and a 2 year warranty. I reflected on the poor quality of shaving over the past years with nicks, cuts and poor overall results that a change was mandated. I took the plunge, bought a Braun and expected weeks of having to get used to the product. Not so, the first shave and all since have been better than any other razor that I have ever used; I have a heavy beard bye the way.
I think the message is clear, I am 100% satisfied and I highly recommend it.

Customer Review: Tips and Tricks
Summary: 5 Stars
The 390cc really does a great job for an electric shaver. And although I can't get as close as with a razor, shaving has never left my skin feeling better.
Recommendations for using the 390cc.
-Use "afta PRE-ELECTRIC shave lotion" before you shave. This will make your hairs stand up for a closer shave and will leave your skin feeling just that much better.
-Use the trimmer to cut down the long hairs before you shave.
-If you do want a super close shave, simply just use a razor after using the 390cc. This should cut down on irritation from the razor since it wont have to cut as much.
-You don't need to clean it every time you use it.
-You can make the cleaning solution with 5 3/4 oz Rubbing Alcohol, 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract, and 1/2 teaspoon Singer sewing machine oil. (Thanks for the solution goes to someone who posted this earlier.)
