Is the razor waterproof/resistant? Does "wet/dry" mean you can shave in the shower and splash/rinse it without worry, or does it just mean you can shave with a wet beard and use shaving gel?

Yes you can shave in the shower and rinse it, the shaver is a sealed unit and is completely waterproof. Wonderful shaver, cleaning it is AWESOME, just drop a small amount of liquid soap in the head (on the foil) with some water and turn it on until it foams, then remove the foil (by pushing the to buttons on the side of the head) and rinse, takes a person less than a minute. Hope this helps Sheldon

You can use it wet (in the shower of you prefer), with shaving cream (or not), or completely dry. I do feel the more expensive Panasonics do a much better job than this one and charge a lot faster. Sometimes you can even get themon sale close to the price of this one.

yes. you can take in the shower, into a pool, etc. it has aquatec technology to help you into a close, smooth shave with the help of water and the shaving cream.

Carol - As I recall, the 340 was "waterproof." Best for you to read the specification differences in Amazon for both; that's what I did. I totally disagree with shaving with an electric razor when wet as (for men, anyway) the whiskers don't stand up and are soft. Just my opinion. WFB

I don't know exactly but here is how you can determine if you can use it in the shower.1.) Is it sealed from water? Answer I don't know I will have to look on the instructions but I suspect it is not.2.) Is its blades made of stainless steel and will not rust? This model is made with stainless steel blades so water will not rust them so this is good.I personally don't like to do everything in the shower like shaving or trimming as I think it is a waste of water and not easy to use a mirror and doing a great job. Based on how all of the attachments are used and the fact that trimming beard and mustaches dry would be a preferred method I don't think any trimmer will do well in a shower.

Yes it does, fully waterproof, can use "Lectric Shave" or any other shaving products. If you are gonna shave wet with it make sure you clean the heads after every use as hair and film will stick more that way. I take the top off let it dry and use a cheap toothbrush. Hope that helps.

Instructions say "Use only in dry condition". Shaver head can be rinsed under hot running water & let the shaver run for a few seconds then remove the foil & cutter cassette and let it dry. Braun suggests that you always shave before washing your face.

The shaver is pretty easy to clean as is, and the accompanying manual also talks about how to do so without using the cleaning system. I suppose the system is a good place to anchor the shaver for a recharge, and ability to additionally clean and dry is useful at the same time. It's utility will be down to a personal preference, is definitely not a must, and should be treated as a nice option. To me a function which is overlooked in the cleaning system is that of drying the shaver quickly (as it can be used as a wet shaver, or rinsed after a shave for a quick clean), as it will help in protecting the metal parts from any rust. The downside is only a few extra dollars! The shaver is pretty easy to clean as is, and the accompanying manual also talks about how to do so without using the cleaning system.

Works better in the shower if you shave last. By then your beard will be better hydrated and you get a closer cut.

This a wer/dry shaver. I have even used it in the shower--no issues at all. Have had it for over 2 years now.

Hey Jeff,No, it wont rust in the shower. I also used to shave in the shower and it didn't rust. However, unlike a regular shaver where you can shave without a mirror (i could anyways) this requires more attention to detail. But you wont have any problem with it rusting.

Hi.. I've only seen him use it dry, but since the parts are waterproof you probably can use it either way. It's a very nice shaver/trimmer.

any shaver advertised as wet or dry . what kind of product question is this you should try google.

Be assured that this shaver can indeed be used in the shower. Did it myself. It is, after all, a "wet/dry" shaver. You will not regret the purchase. Just be careful you don't drown the shaver in a full bath tub. But yes, most definitely, this shaver can be used in the shower. ,

I have dismantled the shaver once and I can say that the design is made so that you will definitely not have any water inside. Concerning the head, I would avoid to use it when wet. The collection of the cut hair would not be efficient and your shaving would not be that smooth as when it is dry. When I shave in the morning, I clean the head with water and I dry it right after with WC-paper. Doing so, I am sure it will be dry for the next morning.

Yes, if it is a "wet" shaver (one that you can use either wet or dry), it is not a problem and I would actually HIGHLY RECCOMMEND it. I've gotten a much better shave using it with my electric than without it.

This model should not be used in the shower. A clean and dry beard with a pre shave lotion designed for electric shaving should be used. I use Williams Lectric Shave Ultra with good results. This cuts down on irritation and lubricates the beard and skin for a smoother shave.
