While it does a better job than most entry-level 3-blade foil shavers, it will struggle to catch longer, flat-lying hairs that grow in multiple directions. For example, the Braun Series 3 ProSkin 3010BT is just a Series 3 ProSkin 3010s shaver bundled with the aforementioned trimming accessories. None will work with the cord plugged in, which is again a point in favor of the Series 3 ProSkin where you have that option. In accomplishing this substantial task, the cutting parts will gradually wear out and your shave may become less close and comfortable. Now that we got to know every Braun series of razors, it’s time to pick the one that would best fit your needs.

Since the original Series 9, Braun released 4 subsequent updates, so we have a total of 5 different Series 9 generations (including the latest PRO+ family). It’s still not as good as a more expensive Series 5 or 7, but for a basic foil razor, it’s not too bad at all.Again we have a vastly different naming scheme in the case of those (like 60-B7500cc, 60-B7200cc, 60-B1200s 60-B1000s). Precisely, the 190s and 170s models will require the 10B set, while the rest will work with the 11B. Finally, we have what’s currently the flagship line of Braun electric shavers, namely the Series 9, Series 9 Pro and Series 9 PRO+. In my opinion the Series 3 is the entry point to Braun’s capable but still affordable electric razors that can be reliably used by most men as their main shaver. In my opinion, unless you have a very specific need for other models or series, I think these are the ones you should be focusing on.

If you were disappointed that you couldn’t get the old Series 7 anymore, the Braun Series 8 is the next best thing. Just as before with the S5 and S6, the performance will be exactly the same as in the case of the North American models. The sensor-based technology adjusts the power of the shaver's motor to your beard’s thickness and density, helping to capture more hairs in each shave.I’ll also guide you through the options if you want to upgrade your current Braun shaver to one that would actually give you a better shave.

As you can see from the table above, with the Series 5 50, Braun focused on providing several accessories that may or may not be of much use to you depending on what you prefer. The pop-up trimmer is worth mentioning also, as it’s pretty useful for some light grooming and touchups. com is an Introducer Appointed Representative of Pay4Later Limited, trading as Deko, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 728646).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. The old cassette had a much greater range of motion for the three cutting elements and it glided easier on the skin since it used metal instead of all that plastic surrounding them. Even if the shaver looked exactly the same and even had the two contact pins on the back to communicate with the station, it would not pair with it. But other than that, I think it’s an excellent performer, second only to the Series 9 in Braun’s current lineup.
