The Braun Series 3 3010s can be used for both dry and wet shaving.
- Dry Shaving: Ensure your face is clean and dry. Turn on the shaver and move it against the direction of hair growth, holding the skin taut with your free hand.
- Wet Shaving: Apply shaving foam or gel to your face. Turn on the shaver and glide it over your skin, moving against the direction of hair growth. The shaver is 100% waterproof and can be used in the shower.

For best results, shave before washing your face. Hold the shaver at a right angle (90°) to your skin and stretch your skin to ensure hair stands upright. Apply gentle pressure.
Using the Precision Trimmer
