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
- Three flexing blades follow contours
- Turbo mode for speed
- Waterproof for shower use
- Cleaning brush included
- 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.
