Braun Series 3 Rechargeable Foil Shaver 3040s — Wet & Dry, 45-Min Runtime, Precision Trimmer

The Braun Series 3 3040s is a rechargeable wet & dry foil shaver that delivers a close, comfortable shave with a precision trimmer and MicroComb to catch more hair in each stroke.

The Series 3 is built to balance closeness and skin comfort for everyday use and three-day stubble. Combining a triple-action cutting system, two SensoFoil elements and a middle trimmer, this model is shaped to follow facial contours while minimizing nicks and irritation. It works wet or dry, rinses clean under running water and includes a smart plug for worldwide voltage, making it a practical travel companion.

How does the MicroComb and cutting system improve shaving speed?

The MicroComb guides more hairs into the cutting elements with each pass, reducing the number of strokes needed for a smooth finish. Paired with the free-floating three-blade system, it keeps contact with uneven surfaces so you shave efficiently without pressing hard.

• MicroComb channels hair into the blades for fewer strokes
• Triple-action system tackles long and short hairs simultaneously
• Free-floating head follows jawline and neck contours

Can I use this shaver in the shower or with foam and gel?

Yes — the Series 3 3040s is wet & dry rated so you can shave with water, foam or gel to increase comfort. Its ergonomic grip and rubber dot pattern help maintain secure handling even when the shaver is wet.

• Fully washable under running water for fast cleanup
• Safe for use with shaving cream or gel for sensitive skin
• Textured handle reduces slipping in the shower

What battery life and charging features should I expect?

The rechargeable Ni-MH battery gives about 45 minutes of cordless shaving time, which typically covers up to a week of shaves depending on use. A 5-minute quick charge is available for a single shave when you’re short on time.

• Approximately 45 minutes of runtime per full charge
• 5-minute quick charge provides one shave
• Smart plug supports 100–240V for international travel

How does the Series 3 protect sensitive skin from nicks and cuts?

SensoFoil elements combined with the middle trimmer are designed to cut hairs close while cushioning the skin from direct blade contact. The floating head and gentle foils reduce tugging and irritation so you get a comfortable result even on delicate areas.

• SensoFoil layers provide gentle skin contact and protection
• Middle trimmer handles stubborn or longer hairs precisely
• Floating cutting elements adapt to facial angles and contours
