Braun Series 3 3040 Electric Shaver Blue/Black — Rechargeable Wet & Dry Foil Shaver with Precision Trimmer

The Series 3 3040 combines a three-part cutting system with a central precision trimmer and advanced combing technology to pick up more hair per pass. Designed for everyday use, this cordless electric razor works with water, foam, or gel and is shaped for a secure grip even when wet. Its rechargeable battery keeps you shaving for up to 45 minutes and a five-minute quick charge is enough for a single shave, making it travel-friendly with automatic global voltage compatibility.

How does the Series 3 handle thick or three-day stubble?

This model uses a triple floating head plus a focused center trimmer to tackle denser facial hair while following facial contours. The optimized comb guides more hairs into the blades so each stroke removes more stubble, reducing the need to go over the same area repeatedly.

• Three flexible cutting elements adapt to jawline and chin shapes
• Center precision trimmer specially targets longer, coarse hairs
• MicroComb design pulls in more hair per stroke for quicker passes

Can I use it in the shower or with shave cream?

Yes—this foil shaver is built for wet and dry use, so you can shave over water, foam, or gel to increase comfort. All external parts are washable under running water for straightforward cleaning after use.

• Fully rinsable head and body for easy maintenance
• Works with foam or gel for reduced friction and smoother glide
• Ergonomic rubberized grip prevents slips when wet

What should I expect from battery life and charging?

The rechargeable Ni-MH battery provides about 45 minutes of cordless shaving per full charge—typically enough for multiple shaves. If you forget to charge, the quick five-minute charge gives enough power for one shave, and the included smart plug automatically adapts to 100–240V, ideal for travel.

• 45 minutes of run time from a full charge
• Five-minute quick charge delivers one full shave
• Smart plug supports international voltages for travel convenience

How long will this shaver last and what comes in the box?

Built with long-lasting components, the Series 3 is designed to give reliable performance for years with routine care. The package includes the shaver, a protective cap, and the auto-adjusting smart plug—everything needed to start shaving right away.

• Durable construction intended for extended use with proper maintenance
• Protective cap keeps foils safe when stored or traveling
• Smart plug included for worldwide compatibility straight out of the box
