Rank #6 in Best Electric Shavers for Men 2026: 10 Ranked, Six Battery Units
Braun Series 3 300S Electric Shaver
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Braun Series 3 300S takes sixth place in this guide. It is a foil shaver with three flexible blades, a rechargeable NiMH battery and a price of £40.99, and the listing says a full charge takes 1 hour and then gives 30 minutes of trimming and shaving. That makes it unusual for the opposite reason to most of this top ten: here the two battery numbers agree. The "Battery Average Life" spec field reads 0.5 Hours; a bullet in the same listing reads 30 minutes. Half an hour is 30 minutes, so the same figure has been written twice in two different units — the same unit-slipping the rest of this guide is about, except that on this listing the two versions do not contradict each other.
Two other fields are worth a look. The title and a bullet both say "Designed in Germany", while the Country Of Origin field says China: those describe different things (where it was designed, where it was made), but they are easy to read as a mismatch if you only skim. The Number of Blades field says 3 and the title describes three flexible blades, so that pair lines up, unlike the blade counts elsewhere in this guide. Ratings stand at 4.2 out of 5 from 3,817 ratings, and the breakdown shown on the listing runs to 100 with 57 of them at five stars.
Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for this shaver. We have not tested the Braun Series 3 300S ourselves, so every figure below is the seller's claim rather than our measurement.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I had an older version of this shaver and it was doing well until a few months ago the battery was dying very quickly after charging so I bought this one and it's done well. It's the same good quality and gives me a very smooth shave overall great product”
Verified purchase“I am enjoying the best shave with this Shaver, I've had an earlier model for the last eight years, replacing the head many times. I just thought about time for a complete NEW Shaver. This is great, so pleased with the purchase.”
