Product Description
braun TriControl Shaver is excellent choice for long hair trimmer. It could be used with a rechargeable battery, which could fully charge with in 1 hour. And with convenient low battery indicator, which signals power remaining for 2 more shaves, you would never have to run out of power at any time. Each charge it is good up to 40 minutes cordless shaving time.
i have owned Braun shavers in the past, that i liked very much. The 340 is not an outstanding poduct. I think my 4 year Remington is superior in performance.i intend to retun it for a refund.
The price for this exact model (same packaging etc etc) is $69 at Walmart and Target.
Although price here seems to have gone up, it is still far cheaper.
Bought for my dad who has been a lifetime blade user and can't use blades to shave anymore(anticoagulant medication), he thinks it does a pretty good job.
Have been using the Braun Series 3 340 Men's Shaver for a weeks now; Initially skeptical about it after reading some of the reviews -
But thoroughly satisfied with the smooth and seamless shave
+ Super quick charge time and retention capacity of the battery
+ Seamless shave leaving the skin smooth and without razor bumps
+ Easy to clean and maintain
- Takes some getting used to, especially if you are switching from a regular razor
- Leaves some traces of hair in the neck which even after a lot of effort was difficult to shave - had to bring out my Gillette to get the job done =)
For best results use with Williams Lectric Pre-shave and finish up with a Neutrogena Post shave lotion!
I purchased this Shaver to replace an old Remington that gave me excellent service for many years until the battery just wore out. The Braun Series 3 340 is horrible. It is noisy for sure but that is only a minor inconvenience. It takes 10 minutes or more to shave and it still leaves fine hair and stubble all over my face. The only way I can shave is under a bright light or I will leave stubble even tough I have passed over it several times. I can never get a clean shave. If you purchase this shaver you will have thrown away your money. I certainly did and I am now searching for another replacement.
I replaced a well-used, high-end Braun shaver with this model because I needed something immediately after it broke (no complaints on that score - it gave years of great service). After six months, I'm now replacing it because it just doesn't compare well to what I had before.
The major let-down has been that the trimmer isn't powered and therefore doesn't cut. I guess it's only designed to help you lift hairs to be cut by the foil. It's useless for neatly trimming sideburns or getting rid of unruly hair on the back of your neck. In addition to that, the cutter block easily comes loose during cleaning (with the foil removed) and is often difficult to reattach.
That said, I'm choosing Braun again for my next shaver because they have made the best shavers I've ever used, but I'm spending the extra money for a high-end model.
If you just want something basic, then fine. But if you want a great shave, then this isn't the model to go for. I'd recommending spending more for something you'll really appreciate.
Braun Series 3 340 Men's Shaver
I purchased the Braun 340 because I am currently tired of blade shaving and I travel a lot and a shaver takes up less room in my bag than a razor, shave cream & spare blades. I have vascilated over the years between a shaver - prior Brauns & Norelcos - and a blade - current blade is the Fusion.
I have found the Braun 340 to be a very good value as a shaver, but the trimmer is not particularly easy to use - especially if you have a goatee.
The Good - The shaver works well on all my shaving areas - face and neck. It requires a minimal number of passes to get the beard cut (assuming that you pull the skin tight) and it does not pinch or cut my skin. The shave is pretty close as well, so I like the shaver aspect of this bit of kit.
The Not So Good - The trimmer is a straight trimmer, i.e., not a 90 degree angle so you have to extend it and sort of stab at your face to use it. This works OK so long as you don't have facial hair you want to keep where the foil hovers. If you have a goatee, when trimming your moustache you have the choice of shortening either your moustache or beard on your upper lip. This is the reason that I rated this unit 4 rather than 5 stars - would have gone 3.5 if that was an option.
Overall - I like this shaver, but the trimmer should be a 90 degree job. Fortunately, I have to shave the goatee for work anyway, so the trimmer's limitations are not a deal breaker for me at this point. I can't see spending another $80+ for the proper trimmer and the pointless alcohol bath which continues to eat your $$$.
The Braun 340 can shave real close around the face. I have to agree with some of the other guys, though. Even straight out of the box, it takes about twice as long to complete a shave as it did with my old Norelco, mostly because of my neck area. It just doesn't shave as close around my neck and I have to make several, several, SEVERAL passes to get it smooth (my "beard" is not that heavy either.)
Actually, my first Braun 340 fell apart before my first recharge. Seriously, one day the trimming handle came loose and was flopping around, but I was still able to finish my shave. Not holding that against Braun, I stayed with the same model number when I exchanged it.
Overall, I think I just like the three-head system better. The extra time required to shave (again, mostly around the neck area) has gotten old. The end result, however, is still a real close shave.
My older higher end Braun 7526 went kaput so looked for a reasonably priced replacement. This model has the same cutting head and foil as my older one so I bought it. The only disappointment is in the long hair cutter. It does not have the same L angle at the blade that the more expensive models have, so it is much more difficult and dangerous to use.
Turned out that my older model 7526 was not actually dead. The wall plug charger was simply broken. I use the charger of this model 340 to charge both. Now have two razors :-)
I have used four Norelcos over many decades. Rather than buying new cutters for two year old shaver, time to try Braun. I have used new Series 3/340 for three weeks now. Smooth but NOT close; particularly on neck. Leaves too much stubble. I do not particularly like these little buzzing/vibrating razors but I suppose I would get used to that. Contrarily, Norelco feels like it has small balanced electric motor in comparison. To get a close shave I find I have to go back and RESHAVE with Norelco. Not good! Norelco trimmer is vastly superior to Braun's. I have sixty days in which to return. I will put up with it for another week or so and then return it if shaves don't get anywhere as close as they did with all my previous Norelcos. Not a bad product. Just mediocre results, but that does not make a nice, clean shave. I am disappointed. Expected more. I do love the ability to rinse with water after shaving though.
I bought this as a replacement for a Remington MS-2700, when I had to ship that one back to the manufacturer for a replacement. I've had the Braun 340 for about 3 weeks now, and I can already say that I won't be switching back to the Remington if/when they send me a new one.
The 340 shaves way closer than the previous shaver, and I'm not left with razor burn when I'm finished; in fact, it feels very soothing compared to what I've been used to in the past.
The one fault I've found is with the sideburn trimmer, which doesn't seem to cut as neatly as the Remington did.
For some odd reason, Braun included a charging cord with my unit. Three weeks I've been using it, and I have yet to see any reduction in battery power. Maybe the battery will eventually go dead and I'll need the cord to recharge it, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. [in other words, battery life seems incredible!]
4-stars only because of the less than stellar sideburn trimmer. Other than that, I'm very happy I bought this.
