I can highly recommend it. There are sockets in the walls that you plug things in to and I'm never going back to candles.

Trying to make sense of your comment.

That's like me commenting on your condom deal, with, "I don't use condoms, I always ride bareback".

350cc! This thing must be powerful. My bike is only 125cc! :stuck_out_tongue:

Which "areas" do you need it for?? :smiley:

cheers, just ordered - nice find!

Shows cleaning station in images but can't find anything about the cleaning station in the description. Is it included?

Very hot discount, so heat added. Personally I have switched from Braun series 3's after owning three to Panasonic es-st25 and the different is like night and day (the Panasonic is made in Japan whereas the braun despite being German is made in China and as such the Japanese quality shows).

Thanxs man i just had a flash look at it. My bad :smile:

Thank you OP, ordered one as a spare (excellent shaver) - I paid £69 2 weeks ago :disappointed:

Needed one for areas, dropped my current one 6 months ago and bent some of the foils off so they cut you every now and again, been using it since because priorities...laziness. Thanks OP, heat.

Excellent find op, ordered as spare

Looks like real bargain, ordered one, thanks op

Just ordered one, last time I tried an electric razor was 10 years ago, but the reviews seem to say they've come on a hell of a lot since then!

Thanks ordered, not sure really why as haven't used an electric razor in years!

Great find OP tempted but have a Panasonic

great deal, ordered one.

I bought a very cheap Remington a few years ago on holiday in USA when my luggage was delayed, and it's getting pretty tired, so been considering one. Would never have spend over £100 on this, but £40 is a pretty good deal.

any voucher codes available?

Thanks OP just ordered, good deal.

I'll give it a try since it seems a good deal, I remember trying one of these years ago and I got a rash when the hair on my neck grew back, hopefully it don't cause the same either I changed or the tech has hopefully.

Recommended not to use electric razors in certain "areas"

Ordered one now! Thanks op!!

heat added. I got one of these 2wks ago. pretty impressed with it so far. charging/cleaning station is included. it's takes cleaning cartridges. each one lasts about a month.

Not used electric for years so hopefully tech has moved on but I'll give a go at this price.

Great find - ordered one to collect at the store Tuesday

Always wet shave, have never used electric.

Baby smooth :-)

350cc! This thing must be powerful. My bike is only 125cc! :stuck_out_tongue:

not very good reviews.
if it doesn't work when it cost £160 it still won't work at £40. Yes it is a bargain, but not if it doesn't work.

I have one of these & it is fine, just bought it again for a spare.

Great deal, ordered. It does require cleaning cartridges (one is supplied I think). Cheapest place to get refills anyone?

Been using mine for 7 months, got it for £26 or so on Amazon when it was on offer, but without the cleaning station. Had wet shaved all my life and I am pretty impressed with it, as it is just so much more convenient. It is something you need to use every day or two though as it can struggle with 3-4 days growth (although still gets through it). Bargain with the cleaning station tbh. Mine was a Braun Series 3 340s if that makes a difference though

Cheaper than buying a spare head and cleaning solution. Bought for spares.

Thanks for the heads up OP.
I've used an older version of this shaver for at least 10 years now.
Myself, my two sons and a good friend all appreciate your help today.

Get a Panasonic where you can take the foil off and clean the heads yourself

They have sealed the head unit as a con to make you buy this rubbish

Thanks OP, very good deal.

Thanks as well op just ordered one but I've got to wait 2 days for a shave now lol cheers

Thanks OP - Ordered as a spare. Can't go wrong for that price.

Great deal, was going to order a new foil head for my present Braun, which is nearly £30, so for a extra £10 think I will get this new shaver and cleaning station!

Thanks Op. Needed new parts but cheaper to buy this. Also have some fluid left over from an older model. With a shaver you have to find the right fit for you that gives a good shave without tearing your face appart.

Thanks!

when this says 'wet' does that mean you still use shaving foams or soaps?

ive ordered one so it can sit in the drawer unused

Cheers op, ordered. Got the wahl one that everyone banged on about but not that impressed with the build quality. Let's hope this is better

I had a very similar model, boy it's noisy. Sometimes it cleans itself during the night for a few minutes, even when it was cleaned the morning before. The shave was okay, not too close but pretty reasonable.
It leaked cut hair follicles down my chest.

Excellent, thanks. I was about to buy the Braun 3040 which is on Amazon deal of the day for £34.30, but I assume this is worth the extra.

Can't comment on the Series 3, but bit the bullet and bought a Series 7 on Black Friday from Amazon.

The best decision of my life. So much more convenient. Shave anytime, anywhere.

On the Series 7 you can detach the foil to wash the head manually or use the cleaning station which is very convenient.

The only concern I have is the price of the foil head. Mine seems to be wearing down after about a month. Not sure if this is normal? The replacement from Braun is pricy too.

Still recommend.

Cheers ordered

Mine is slightly different, think its the older model of that version

Bought 4 for Ebay, heat

Makes me glad I didn't end up getting one for Christmas! Bought. Cheers OP.

And down to £49.99 at Argos so clearly dropping everywhere.

No wonder...its definately not worth £139...People dont buy it for that price.

​You obviously don't understand how buying and flipping works. Just wait until the price rises again, so other sellers raise the price and so can you. It won't stay that cheap for long, especially with the self cleaning gimmick included

Bought as a spare, I have a series 3 and Have been happy with it!

Self cleaning has been around for years and years, fluid does not last long.....

These are not that good.... As said above, Japanese is better.....

Are there any gradients on this shaver?

If you can afford it the 5/7 series are so much better - I moved from the 3 to 5 to 7, the 3 was OK, 5 was excellent, based on that difference I went for a 7 series but to be honest its no better than the 5 series. Has better display for battery etc but not worth the extra

I think the top Panasonics are better that top Braun, check the reviews.

Thanks orders as a spare :smiley:

Bought + heat. Thanks OP!

LMAO!

Great deal - thanks.

Just wanted to mention as others reviews on this say it comes with a European plug.

Great deal - my last one has just started to play up in the cleaning dock (still works fine directly on cable) so this is perfectly timed to replace. Cheers

[img][/img]

Heat added, great find, ordered one for collection tomorrow. Thanks

I had one of these and thought the whole cleaning cartridge deal was a waste of space. Never used them after they ran dry and had no issues. Better off just getting a good shaver without all the clutter. And yes, I *do* recommend Braun shavers. Really good.

This model is old stock. Hence the reduction in price.

Guys tried a Panny 3 foil one last year, but found i was better off using a rough stone, as it took forever and by then my face was red raw.

Question is are these shavers all only capable of handling 1-2 days minimal stubble (the Panny could barely do that), as opposed to one a week growth.

Agreed. Three months is about the norm for me. No need to use the cleaning cycle after every use.

Can you use this as a beard trimmer? I know it has a "precision trimmer" but will that work just for someone who wants an even, short beard?

Great find OP! :wink:

So from what I can see the general consensus here say this Panasonic electric shaver made in Japan: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/panasonic-es-st25-electric-shaver-34-50-sse-2371847 is better than this Series 3 Braun?

Does anyone what the guarantee is on it please

GOOD FIND - ORDERED HEAT ADDED

Funny how things change. Years ago I used to shave my face and trim my pubes. Nowadays it's the other way round.

Thank ordered for hubby

Bit of a sweeping unfounded statement - I bought the Panny and thought it was crap by any standards.

I am not so sure, I haven't heard a bad word on the ES-ST25. The autoclean on the Braun seems like a gimmick and the Panansonic has favourable reviews from what I can see.

These are OK but certainly not worth the supposed £139.

Its a £30 shaver in a cleaning station that's not really necessary and makes you buy expensive cleaning cartridges.

Ordered, I had a £5 gift card code to apply too so handy something come up.

The downside to this is the maintenance costs going forward. Replacing the foil will be almost the same price as buying a new shaver.

Careful if dealing with Tesco Direct.
I ordered a tablet. Got e mail to collect from store. It wasn't there. Tracking told me, delivered to Scottish store but returned to warehouse. Oh well these things happen, slight delay? No way! E mail saying was now out of stock. I responded factually that it couldn't be because was returned. Next e mail, no longer available. I got refund and £10 compo but kept enquiring about missing tablet with little info. I assumed it had been taken by someone between Scotland and the warehouse. Customer Service almost said as much and that it wasn't an isolated case. Hope you have better luck.

I've had a 3 series Braun and didn't rate it much at all...... I now have the Panny ST25 and it really is loads better. The linear motor is faster and more powerful, the cutters are sharper, the foils seem stronger and it seems to have better Japanese build quality than the Chinese made Braun.
It really is better on every level....... buy the Panny, you wont regret it.

I had one of these as a present and it was absolutely crap, I had to have a wet shave afterwards.

Thank You, ordered. I was looking for a new Braun as i've had mine for a few years and battery life is short. Excellent price.

Very good find Op, Ave some Heat :smile:

Had to buy this one, trying to convert my hubby away from disposable razors. Disposables are so over priced. Even if he only uses it between wet shaves its win win. Hope it's as good as the reviews! Bargain

Just ordered mine, ready for collection Wednesday. Heat added.

Mine arrived today, fantastic service fro, Tesco!

... "It leaked hair half shafts down my chest". Point taken. Cheers

You didn't sebum then?

First time trying for a while, any recommendations? e.g. Wet or Dry shave, products to use etc?

Can't comment on this model and the price is really hot, but my only Braun shaver is collecting dust in the cupboard. The mesh lasted for about 2 weeks after which it was hardly shaving at all, so the cost of keeping it running (each replacement mesh was about £20) killed the otherwise good shaver. Back to Phillips.

Found this on Amazon at £59.75 bit note that it first appeared on Amazon in Nov 2010 so this Tesco offer would seem to be quite old stock.

got one....cheers op

Ordered one. Amazing deal!!!!

"Braun Series 3 shaver comes supplied with a Clean&Charge Station that cleans, charges, lubricates and dries the 350cc at a touch of a button"

A cheaper, basic Philips foil razor will perform just as good as this, Braun is just all marketing can't believe the heat on this.

Ordered one.. Thanks

I've had both Braun & Panasonic. It's swings and roundabouts.

The Braun gives an average cut.. but keeps giving the same average cut as it gets older
The Panasonic initially gives a far better cut but then very quickly 'drops off a cliff' to then give a worse cut than the Braun after a couple of months.

Thank you OP, good deal for this shaver and cheapest I could find was around £65.
I bought a couple and picked them up today.

I have owned the 790cc for 2 years which is a great shaver and I replaced the foil after around 12 months as was not cutting as well as it did.

I had a dry shave tonight with the 350cc and I am more than happy with it.
Not as powerful as the 7 series but does the job just fine.

I still wet shave and no electric shaver will ever get that close a shave, but for a quick easy shave then the Braun is a great shaver especially at this price.

I use the clean and renew liquid and even though it is a bit of a gimmick, it does clean the shaver really well and leaves it like new afterwards.

The problem is that a cartridge will only last a month no matter if you clean your shaver daily or once a week because it just evaporates anyway.

To make the fluid last longer, I only put the cart into the renew system when I want to clean the shaver, then take it out and re-seal with the cap so the liquid cannot evaporate.
Takes 2 seconds and makes the liquid go a lot further for you're money.

Also some people use shavers once and think they are rubbish but you do really need to give it a few weeks to let you're face/skin get used to the razor and see if the results improve.

My first electric was a Philips and I gave that a good go but rotary shavers never did the job for me.
Foils work for me so that's what I stick to between the wet shaves :smiley:

Bit over powered for a shaver.

My motorbike is only 150cc.

Cleaning station is not all that and for only 99p more, you can get the 3080 with the sideburn trimmer on Amazon.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Braun-3080-Mens-Electric-Shaver/dp/B0050AJ1TQ/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1452675213&sr=8-6&keywords=braun

Or the 3090 £49.99 @ Argos Was £169.99

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4248727.htm

Thanks, ordered one.

The 390cc is a much better razor a steal at £49.99 Argos heat added

Great product, using for first time and impressed.
btw head can be changed,sow some comments they say it can't.

Hmmm.... 4 stars over nearly 300 reviews. I know this was (supposedly) £170, but I spy with my little eye for roughly the same price (£39.99, and prolly £36-ish through Flubit) another Braun Series 3 (model 3080) reduced from £140 with better reviews: 4.5 stars over close to 900 reviews!
My feeling is this would be a better shaver.

That model has better reviews, and a LOT more of them. (about ×3 more)

They look quite similar minus the cleaning station.be nice to know which is the newer version and which has the better motor, google turned up this though 3080

I'm not sure I really trust that "review" it seems more like sponsored content. I'm sure the shaver's decent, of course, but I bought a £20 Panny, my very first electric shaver - always been a wet shave, dual-blade (any more blades is silliness) kind of guy, when I can be bothered to shave - and I love the speed and convenience with no irritation that I get with it (and decent closeness) so I'm obviously hoping philbean isn't correct in what he says above, but even if I get a couple of good years out of it (not using more than 2/3 times a week) it'll be pretty decent value. It should stand up to 300 shaves alright, no? It's the £19.50 Panasonic deal from SSE, found on here about 3 weeks ago.

I found this youtube video which explains how to make your own cleaning liquid

Your text here

Lulz at the reviews stating it came with a European 2 pin plug, simpletons

It's very much a case of personal preference.

My son has had a Panasonic shaver for over a year. He has tried and prefers my Braun that is 4+ years old.
We have both taken up this deal.
A friend of mine also took advantage of this deal. He had previously used a Panasonic, but is, from initial results, more impressed with this Braun.

can someone briefly explain about the need of the cleaning solution? is this an expensive business? can it be manually cleaned like a normal Razor??

What ingredients do you use?

great, thank you. So, what is the purpose of the fluid if can manually be cleaned and what it is the advantage of using it?? does the fluid also dissolve hair? sorry about my ignorance never used this stuff and will be for a relative eventually.

The fluid gives it a good wash, leaving it looking new and smelling very fresh.
It's also supposed to be something of a lubricant on the skin to reduce irritation. If you have sensitive skin this is possibly helpful.

When you remove the head to do a manual clean, you can't really get into all the nooks and crannies to give it a "like new" clean. Rinsing under a tap may get rid of more trimmings but that's the main selling point, or at least that's how I perceive it, of the cleaning device. I believe it's more of a labour saving device, much the same as why someone would buy a dishwasher.

Serious pain in my stomach laughing at this analogy

Thanks OP.Bought

Good info here I just found (not looked though all the comments above): http://shaverranks.com/braun-series-3-390cc-380s-350cc-340s-review/

COLD, this can be bought for around 60, better off just buying series 5.

I have a series 7 of these, over 2 years old now, it's been loyal but it's starting to break. Don't think I'll spend that kind of money again. I might just get this for the travel bag. Hot.

Got one.

Took twice as long as my rotary Phillips to give half as good a shave and irritated my neck no end.

Would not recommend.

Ordered two. One for son and myself. Can we just put the whole thing under the tap to clean ? It does say wet dry ?

there are currently no sellers for this product OOS

Picked mine up today did a quick haphazard shave far better than my old crappy Panny, but still left my neck red and sore - but been a year since I tried an electric shaver after the Panny bad experience.

Questions though.
1. Clean seems to tale a few mins can I switch it off or does it need to stay on until dry;
2. Related question I took the cleaning fluid out after the clean to avoid it evaporating is that ok;
3. With the clean function is that all I need to do then and no other cleaning;
4. If so where does all the hair go from the foil ?

OOS in Tesco!

Thank you. it is back in stock now.. and Ordered!

Got my shaver today, thanks OP.

Does it give a closer shave when wet or dry? Early indications are that it's not that much better than my £15 shaver, but I might be doing something wrong...

I got a call from Tesco saying OOS.. they are keeping the order open till the end of the month to see any new items arrive!

I got the same call

Just can't get a close shave with it, especially on my neck!

Sorry if this is a daft question but the Tesco site was quite unclear...

Can I return it to store for a refund even though I've used it?

i got a text today the order is ready for collection. not sure whether it is automated or item has actually arrived. I am going to check this weekend..

Nope you can't return it after you broke the seal .....

Comes under Personalised Goods....

http://www.tesco.com/direct/help/returns-policy.page?icid=Samsung%20Galaxy%20S6_Returns%20Policy_165400029

Got two. Confirm neck and jaw area don't do very well using this . Pretty good shave otherwise . Wet shave is a bit messy. Does well compared to my old Phillips XL.

Where is otherwise ?
Probably this is the reason why it was so heavily reduced, sadly Amazon reviews didn't mention any of this.

Back in stock.
