Braun Series 4 Electric Shaver Replacement Head, Easily Attach Your New Shaver Head, Compatible with All CoolTec Electric Shavers, , 40B, Blue

Product Information

It only takes seconds to rinse it with warm water or every once in a while with a bit of liquid soap. They are very effective and catching and cutting hairs in fewer strokes and work particularly well when shaving dry plus a pre-shave lotion like the one from Speick. As with any electric shaver, proper use and maintenance will ensure many years of service from your Braun (although rare unlucky failures do happen regardless of how well you take care of it). Several solo Braun shavers will work with a compatible station purchased later on or from an older cc shaver, but that depends on the particular series or even on a specific revision of that series.

It’s the most capable and powerful and it can effortlessly deal with pretty much any type of facial hair. Some even came with a more advanced station that would check the hygiene status of the shaver and choose an appropriate cleaning program (like the 5090cc).Some Series 3 ProSkin models even come with an automatic cleaning and charging station as we’ll see next. Further reading: for a very detailed and comprehensive comparison, you can check out my Series 9 guide.

You will however notice that the new S7 looks instead pretty much identical to the Series 6 and the Series 5 50 we saw earlier. If you were disappointed that you couldn’t get the old Series 7 anymore, the Braun Series 8 is the next best thing.Also, some ProSkin variations include a slide-out hair trimmer, while the basic Series 3 shavers do not have them. As with most Braun shaving heads, you should expect to replace them every 18 months but again that can vary a lot. Also, if it has a protective cap, try to only use it while traveling or when there’s a real risk of damaging the foils.

The Series 3 ProSkin is very comfortable, adequately powerful for someone with medium to slightly coarser facial hair and works decently even on longer, flat-lying hairs. If however you’re looking for the closest and fastest shave you can get, you will definitely have to look at a more expensive shaver. 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. It costs about the same as a Series 3 ProSkin, it shaves similarly, has a fixed shaving head, the replacement cassette costs and lasts about the same and so on. The Series 8, introduced back in 2019, is in my opinion the most interesting and intriguing family in Braun’s current lineup.Another important aspect regarding the Braun cleaning stations is the cross-compatibility between the different series.
