Editorial Review
These days, many men feel like it's not enough to just have the standard beard, mustache, or Goatee. To truly express one's individuality, you have to take your facial "coiffeur" to the next level. That's where the Braun Cruzer3 comes in. Designed for the man who has everything except a way to easily maintain his "Norris Skipper," "Hollywood," or "chin puff," the Cruzer3 gives you everything you need to keep in step with the latest styles.



Click the image to get a closer look at the Cruzer3's features. In addition to having a traditional foil shaver mechanism, the Cruzer3 boasts a unique trimming unit that Braun says is perfect for both the big and small details that make a great facial hair style. The unit is also rechargeable, and it can be used in the shower -- both features that make it great for travelers, and for guys who are always in the rush in the morning. While it's true that the Cruzer3 is a tool for hipsters to keep up their cutting-edge look, it's actually strikes a good balance between being a versatile styling tool and a solid everyday shaver.

The Cruzer3's design is pure Braun, with a sturdy feel in the hand. The rubberized hand-grip keeps things under control in the shower, and the casing's slight bend puts your hand in the right position for shaving. A simple "Run" button is cleverly placed right where your thumb rests, while charging is handled via an unobtrusive little adapter plug at the base of the unit. On the flip-side of the Cruzer3 there's an extending cutter unit that slides into place and extends beyond the shaving foil. We really liked that the styling cutter spins 360 degrees, allowing you to choose a small or large cutter. Braun says the wider cutter is for shaping larger areas, i.e. making the rough draft of your facial creation. Use it for shaping sideburns, mustaches and partial short beards. Meanwhile, the small cutter is designed for finishing the fine details and creating precise contours.

On top of the Cruzer3 you'll find a a fairly standard shaver foil set-up. The foil is wide and highly flexible and most testers found it pretty effective at giving a quick shave. It conforms nicely to facial features and in most cases gave an acceptably close, but not razor close, shave. If it's been a few days since your last shave you'll want to start with one of the trimming blades, as we didn't find the shaving foil especially good at cutting longer hairs. The shaving foil can be easily removed and Braun ships a handy brush with the Cruzer3 for cleaning the cutting block. Also, because the Cruzer3 is waterproof, it's no problem to simply run the cutting block under water for speedy cleaning.

For bearded aficionados, Braun also ships a trimming attachment with the Cruzer3. It clips into place easily and integrates with the wide cutting blade. There are four trimmer height settings so you can touch up those nappy areas and get your beard to a uniform length.

By leaving the unit on continuously, we estimated about 30 minutes of total cordless shaving time before the unit required a charge. That's pretty good for something you might use three or four minutes a day. Keep in mind, though, that the styling blades pull quite a bit more power than the foil shaver, so your mileage may vary when you're crafting your next fashion statement.

Pros
  • Great three-in-one solution (shaver, trimmer and styling)
  • Good battery life
  • Easy to use and comfortable, fashionable design
Cons
  • Shaver doesn't quite equal the closeness of a razor




Ready to express your unique individuality Starting from just three basic styles, the short beard, the goatee and the Lincolnic, you can build a facial expression that makes an impression. The Cruzer3 is specially designed to make styling easier than ever. Pick a style and go for it!

well to be honest, I took my chances while purchasing this product, after reading all the bad reviews

I took it basically for trimming and it doesnt work.

Totally useless product, its all the hype, totally not worth it
 
1 Star Rating  "Doesn't last long...."2008-08-22
- Reviewed By User: A3RJGOFUIQ4A6R
Great idea. Bad quality. It has some issues cutting long hair but you have the trimmer/whatever. Well, tonight the trimmer chocked and died on me on my beard. Basically the blades got enough "hair inside" that something got suck and stopped moving. I have had this product for about 4-6 months.

Sorry but if a product is aimed at trimming beards/goatees, etc also, I expect it to work *and last*. Didn't.

Went back to my Norelco for a second to finish my shave (it runs low on batteries even at full charge for being old) and I was surprised how much better even in non-trimmer mode it grabbed longer hair.

My disappointment is that Norelco doesn't make an "all in one" product like this anymore. They charge high, but I have to say, they work better, and I think this is the first and last Braun shaving product I buy.

Hint to Braun: you have the right idea. But it needs to last. Even if that means charging $20 USD more for it.
 
3 Star Rating  "Nice shave but takes longer"2008-07-21
- Reviewed By orangefob7
This shaver gives a nice clean cut, however it seems to take over twice as long as my last Braun shaver. My previous Braun has two heads while this one only has one. At the time, I didn't give it much thought, but in retrospect, I would have sought after one which had two. All in all, paying an extra $30 for one of the nicer Brauns would have been a better idea.
 
5 Star Rating  "BrAun CruZer 3 (2865 - Type 5733)"2008-06-21
- Reviewed By ahmed_koura
The Braun CruZer 3 is many tools in one, let's take a look at them one by one:

1-Shaver: This shaver uses the Braun shaving foil which is supposed to catch all hair regardless of the direction of growth, it raises it and then the cutter block finishes the job.

It's a nice theory that doesn't work as intended. The shaver foil doesn't catch all hair and the cutter block isn't sharp enough or maybe the whole mechanism needs a redesign.

At first when I tried to shave after a few days of not shaving (Braun in that case recommends using the trimmer first then the shaver) well, I did exactly that and only thing that worked was the trimmer, the shaver still didn't shave well.

Next time I used the shaver I had just shaved the day before and I noticed that the shaver did a better job than the time before but still not as good as I expected.

After a while I figured that this shaver doesn't need to be moved quickly up-down like others, you better press well against your skin and move very slow, that gave me the best results. Still not perfect but acceptable.

2-Styler: The CruZer 3 comes with a very good trimmer, it's sharp and accurate, you can use the wide shaper (1.1 in / 28 mm) or the narrow shaper (0.55 in / 14 mm).

I personally think the styler part is great, the ability to do wide and narrow areas of your face and the way the trimmer rotates 180 degrees with a push of a finger gives you quick access to both trimmers while in the middle of styling.

At first I was bothered because I couldn't see the trimmer from all angles, also if you lean the shaver against your face there chance the foil might miss another area. So, I tweaked the thing a bit, I removed the foil, pulled the cutter block out then used the trimmers just like that (no foil and no cutter block). That eliminated the threat of the foil cutting hair and also made the visible area bigger and clearer.

No kidding, but with a styler as good as that you can write your initials on one check and draw a picture on the other.

3-Beard trimmer : This part is flawless, all you have to do is attach the beard trimmer, select the desired length then enjoy a fast and easy beard trimming.

With that said, the shaver comes with universal power adapter which serves as both a power supply and charger. Yes! You can use the CruZer 3 in cordless mode for 30 minutes.

The on/off switch is neat and the light on the front informs you about charge power and other information.

You can wash the machine --when not connected to the power chord-- also it comes with cleaning oil and a nice brush to clean all and every part

That's all to it, I do recommend this machine for the serious styler, if you just want to have a clean shave then maybe this machine is too much beside the shaving part isn't exactly where it excels.
 
4 Star Rating  "Sleek and sexy little thing..."2008-05-02
- Reviewed By zenderman
I got mine on clearance at Target for about twenty five bucks, but mainly use it as a trimmer. The foil shaver is good but still not as easy and close as using a plain old razor blade, and does irritate my skin unless I use some sort of aftershave toning cream afterwards. So instead I now use the trimmer to shave...this leaves me with a five o'clock shadow look but it's much faster and doesn't require the lather-up-and-rinse process of using a blade and shaving cream.

Really appreciate the ergonomics of this thing, it fits perfectly in my hand. The battery holds a decent charge, I recharge it maybe twice a month tops. It's not too loud either, which is a plus.

If I had to do it all over again I'd probably buy one of those Norelco Beard Trimmers and use it for shaving because they have a vaccuum which means that your hairs are tidily sucked up so there's no mess you have to clean up afterwards...but for the time being am pretty happy with this thing. I also like that it's water resistant, so I can use it in the shower if I want to.
 
5 Star Rating  "Great multipurpose shaver"2008-04-17
- Reviewed By tcphk
My favorite feature in the cruZer is the adjustable beard trimmer. Just set it to one of 4 preset lengths and trim away - no need to worry about an uneven beard or trimming off more than you wanted. The cruZer also does a great job with basic shaving, and the fact that you can rinse it off under the faucet is a real time-saver. The only downside is that you're supposed to drain the battery completely before each recharge (to maximize battery life), so you sometimes have to plug in the shaver mid-shave.
 
3 Star Rating  "Should be called the Beard trimmer"2008-04-07
- Reviewed By john_no_nickname
This razor is great as a beard trimmer. I was using a lower cost beard trimmer, and when I used the Braun Cruzer to trim my beard, it was like a religious experience in comparison. Very smooth and the end result is very nice.

At the same time, the screen or whatever they call it (the thing that supposedly takes all of your beard off) is totally useless and totally worthless.

If you want to trim your beard, get this. If you want a clean cut, by a Bic or any regular razor. This thing is worthless if you want a clean cut.

I use this razor to trim my beard short. There aren't alot of alternatives out there, and I find its settings are excellent. I actually don't use it to shave the parts where I don't grow my beard. I find it is not that effective/takes too much time. I use a blade instead.

- Reviewed By User: A2TDGMTCNXWQVA
This shaver did not live up to my expectations from reading other reviews.
I have used a remington microscreen foil shaver for over 20 years (2 different units) and thought I would try something different. Big mistake! This Braun looks nice, feels nice but that's it. It takes at least 5 minutes to repeatedly go over my face to finally cut all the hair down to a decent close shave. My old razor would do it in under 2 minutes. Hopefully my regret will not be yours also.
