The Braun Series 3 ProSkin Will Change Your Mind About Electric Razors

Now that multi-tasking has become a key part of a man’s ability to tackle the challenges of everyday routines, men are constantly looking for new and innovative tools to help them achieve success in every part of life. And shaving is no exception. If you’re like a lot of men, shaving is nothing more than a chore required by your employer, so the easier and faster it can be, the better. That’s where Braun steps in.

With almost 100 years working at this exact issue, Braun gets it–and they’re always trying to make it a little bit better for you. By capturing more hair in the first stroke, the Braun Series 3 ProSkin makes your grooming routine so easy, that you can focus on other aspects of your day instead of shaving. Built to tackle a long weekend’s worth of stubble, the Series 3 ProSkin is a tool rigorously tested to ensure it will handle the job you lay out in front of it.

To really bring this badass, beard blaster to your attention, Braun brought on one of the most recognizable faces in football (or what we Americans call soccer) Real Madrid Defender, Raphaël Varane. What better place to tell us about their Frenchmen-in-Madrid ambassador, than in the beautiful, heavily French-influenced city of Madrid. Braun hosted us in the Spanish capital and talked to us about their latest and greatest – the Series 3 ProSkin (one of the best priced shavers for what you get, in our opinion) and the new multi-grooming kits (every man needs a kit like this in their bathroom). We had the chance to sit down and chat with Varane about why him, why Braun, and what’s next. (Read our interview here.)

The Series 3 ProSkin uses an advanced MicroComb technology that guides hairs into the trimmer, reducing overall shaving time. This leads to less skin irritation by cutting short and long hairs simultaneously. Add to that a sophisticated shaving system of three independently rotating cutting elements and two SensoFoils that are able to adapt to every facial contour, and you get a comfortable shave faster than any of Braun’s competitors. And if speed is what you’re after, use this wet or dry – whatever is best for you – to keep you moving throughout your day with ease.

If electric shavers aren’t your jam, we bet you’re still taking a trimmer to some hair somewhere, and if that’s the case, Braun has you covered there too. The ultimate all-in-one face, hair, and body Grooming Kit from Braun uses the latest cutting element technology to ensure that the blades last for the lifetime of the trimmer. Whether it’s precision trimming your bits down below or contour edging that well-groomed beard, you have 13 precise length settings to keep it all under control. With four detachable combs and a running time of up to an hour, the four multi-grooming kits from Braun ensure maximum precision and ultimate versatility to enable you to focus on what really matters – which is likely something less trivial than your body hair.

We get it – if you are a guy used to your routine of creaming-up and cutting off with an old-fashioned blade, it can be difficult to opt for something different. We were there too once, since there is something to be said for that time in the morning all to yourself, spending an extra few minutes on pampering. However, if you are the type of guy who only shaves because you have to, then we urge you to try something different– dare we say more efficient. We bet, after giving yourself a couple shaves, you’ll find it’s actually not all that bad. In fact, it could be the new routine you look forward to in the morning.

Does beard growth oil work? What you should know
Man putting beard oil on his beard.

Growing the perfect beard is a lifelong quest for some, and though there are plenty of tips to help you grow a beard, sometimes you can benefit from a little outside intervention. You might have seen adverts for beard growth oil and wondered if that would help you grow a thicker and more lustrous beard, along with various other oils for softening or brushes and other tools to help maintain your skin.

There's a lot of options when it comes to the world of facial hair grooming, because for your beard to look full and well groomed, you need to not only trim it to the right shape but also make sure that both the hair and the skin of your face are well looked after and in good condition. You might also just need to be patient, as it can take some time for facial hair to grow in to the length that you want. The basic advice for growing in a beard that looks great are to give it time and make sure you're taking care of your health -- like getting enough sleep, eating a health diet, and taking exercise. But we all know we're supposed to do those things anyway, and there are some products that can help give your beard a nudge along the way.

How often should you change your razor blades?

It's a hassle and an annoyance, but when it comes to your daily shaving ritual something that you absolutely don't want to skip is changing out your razor blade. Trying to shave with a dull razor is bad for your skin and can cause razor bumps, plus creating a higher likelihood of problems like infections, and it will do a poor job of removing hair, resulting in a patchy shave. If you're not up for trying out a straight razor, then you'll need to get into the habit of regularly swapping out the replaceable blades on your razor or using fresh disposable razors instead. Knowing when to swap out your old blades for new ones will help keep your skin happy and your face looking its best, so our guide can help you work out how often you need to change your razor blades.

How often you should change your razor blades
According to the American Academy of Dermatologists, you should change your razor blades or throw away disposable razors after every five to seven shaves. High-quality razor blades should last five to seven shaves if you take care of them properly and keep them clean. However, cheaper disposable razors may wear out sooner.
Signs it’s time to change your razor blades include skin irritation after shaving, a less close shave, patchy areas or spots missed, skin that still feels rough after, dullness of the blades, feeling hairs are getting pulled instead of cut, and excessive friction of the blades across your skin that it feels like you have to drag it over your skin.
Moreover, a razor that has an accumulation of gunk that can’t be rinsed away should be immediately discarded, as this causes nicks and infections by dragging unevenly across your skin and introducing harbored bacteria into your pores.
