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.

How to trim a beard the right way — from stubble to full-on lumberjack
Choose the right beard, get the right tools, and master these techniques for a great look
Beard trimming

At first glance, how to trim a beard seems like an easy problem to solve. I have first-hand experience with this, as my beard grew out evenly when I decided to sprout one. Even better, it came in with a reddish color that complemented my long face and Scotch-Irish ancestry on my father’s side. The basic color and uniformity made it easy to overlook the inevitable mistakes I made, so the toughest task was reminding myself to trim every other day. Otherwise, I would grow a small beard forest that was tough to handle.
For many men, though, it’s not so simple. That’s especially true for beard novices and for those men whose beards serve up some surprises. When that happens, trimming becomes a tougher task, so a brief tactical review is a solid idea.
