Bought a Braun series 3 razor (#340 wet and dry). It hardly shaves the whiskers but it really messes my skin up. ( I was using a Norelco which did a pretty good job) I think there is something wrong with the shaving head. After trying to use it for two or three weeks I switched to the old fashioned blade razor. The Braun is still laying next to the lavatory and I look at it every time I shave and wonder what I can do. Evidently there is something wrong with the shaving head and I would like to know how I can get a different head. I hate to spend close to a hundred dollars on a product that doesn't work. Thanks: Jim Shirley

SOURCE: No close shaves

I've replace the cutting surfaces and the thing just won't cut.

SOURCE: can i use shaving cream with a norelco electric

According to the Phillips website, it is NOT a waterproof shaver, therefore it is not advisable to use any liquids prior to or during shaving.

However, as a hairdresser and having experience with shaving men for many years, you can use the tried tested and true method of either shaving AFTER you get out of the shower so that your hairs on your face are softer from being in the moisture, or if you are not planning on having a shower, you can just use a hot face cloth on your face for a few minutes before you shave. This will soften the bristly hairs on your face and make it easier to shave.

I hope this helps. Please remember to rate my help. I would greatly appreciate it!

SOURCE: Head (foil and blades) used to last 10-12 months.

Six weeks? That's very peculiar. Are you certain that they are seated properly on the shaver? If there's a problem with the head and they're not fitting into place slightly off, they can end up wearing out faster.

If you've used your shaver for a number of years, your best bet is to probably step up to a newer model Braun shaver. The 7000 series was OK, but the 8000 series is much better. You can still pick up new old stock ones off "that auction site". They shave not much differently from the new 9000 series (Pulsonic). Good luck!

Sensotouch shavers can be used with any shaving gel or cream. It will not harm the shaver. Philips makes no recommendation as to which type is best. Just use whatever favorite brand that you have
