The Series 3 is specifically designed for guys who don't want to compromise. Thanks to its improved Triple Action FreeFloat System, increased motor speed and new SensoFoil, the Series 3 not only delivers even better shaving performance on three-day beards, but is also incredibly smooth on skin.
In fact, it offers 30% less skin irritation in the neck area than rotary systems with built-in skin conditioners. The Series 3 380s-4 can be used under the shower with foam and gels. This is especially relevant for guys who like to shave in the shower and don't want to compromise on using a great electric shaver. The Series 3 combines world-famous Braun design with the highest Braun quality. Braun Series 3 - designed to make a difference.

This is my second one bought after the battery started failing after 2 and 1/2 years. I changed the foil after 2 years but still got 7 shaves for a full charge.
If you keep it oiled twice a week (Wahl clipper oil) after washing with liquid hand soap, the foil rinses out in hot water.
So I am using the old foil on the new shaver and have a new one ready for 18 months time! However you will need an adapter as it only comes with a 2 pin plug.
After a lifetime using Braun shavers, and I am 61, I am very disappointed in this model.
Whilst the feel and control of it is excellent, I find the shaver heads do not last for any length of time. Instead of the 18 months expected, and as advertised, the head is only good for a few weeks, and I then struggle to get up to 6 months use.
I have a light beard so shaving should not be, and never has been, difficult, until I bought this model. I only dry shave with it but that should not be a factor as it is a wet and dry shaver.
Such a shame that I have lost confidence in the brand that I have always admired.
Just my experience and if anyone can tell me where I have gone wrong, please do. This is my polite opinion for Braun.
Delivered within 2 days, well done. The excellent product you would expect from Braun.
