Our verdict

A waterproof wet and dry foil shaver with three flexing blades and a Turbo mode for a quick daily shave. It has no gentle mode, so very sensitive skin may want a higher series.

Overview

Braun built this waterproof foil shaver with three flexing blades that follow the face. Standard and Turbo modes cover everyday shaves, and EasyClick heads let you swap in a precision trimmer.

Quick, clean daily shaving with simple controls is the core strength, and it works wet or dry. Without a gentle mode or flexing head, sensitive skin gets less help than on the upper series.

Who it's for

Everyday shaving at the sink or in the shower suits this model. People with reactive skin or dense beards that need adaptive power should look higher in the range.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Three flexing blades follow contours
  • Turbo mode for speed
  • Waterproof for shower use
  • Cleaning brush included
Cons
  • No gentle mode
  • No pouch listed
  • Charging time not given

Performance notes

Three flexing blades move independently to stay on the skin over the jaw and neck. Turbo raises cutting speed, so dense stubble is cut in fewer passes.
