Q: Why is my BRAUN Series 3 razor not cutting anymore? How can I fix it?

If your BRAUN Series 3 Wet & Dry razor is not cutting anymore , the most common cause is the wear of the shaving cassette. Here are the solutions in order of likelihood: 1. Replacement of the shaving cassette (main cause) The cassette (model 70S/70B ) naturally wears out with use. This is the most common reason for a drop in performance. Solution: replace the cassette with a new one. Don’t forget to reset the counter by pressing the reset button for 3 seconds after replacement. 2. Clogging and lack of lubrication If cleaning with water is regular without lubrication, the mechanism gradually becomes clogged. Perform a deep cleaning: Remove the cassette and soak it in hot water with a drop of dish soap Rinse well and tap to remove all residues Apply a drop of light machine oil on the trimmer and the cassette 3. Check the setting Make sure to use the intensive setting ( green button + ) for a complete and quick shave. A low setting may give the impression that the razor is not cutting anymore.

Question 2

What should I do after applying lubricant to the razor?

Accepted Answer

After applying a drop of light machine oil to the shaving cassette and the retractable trimmer of your BRAUN Series 3 wet & dry, no further action is necessary.

The oil automatically integrates into the shaving mechanism during your next use. The razor will then operate normally. This regular lubrication is important because it:

Improves shaving performance
Maintains battery efficiency
Prevents premature wear of the shaving cassette

Apply lubricant after each cleaning under running water and at least once a week if you regularly clean your razor. Regular use without lubrication can lead to a noticeable decrease in performance and increased energy consumption.
