According to our electric shaver expert
If you have a sensitive skin while shaving, the Braun Series 3 CoolTec 2S is a good choice. This is because the integrated cooling system cools your skin during shaving. This reduces the chance of redness and skin irritation. The electric shaver has 3 shaving elements: 2 shaver foils and 1 middle trimmer. This middle trimmer lifts the hairs and guides them across the shaver foils to get a smooth shave result. There is a fold-out precision trimmer on the backside of the electric shaver. This is useful, as you can also trim your sideburns and neck hair. After use, you can easily rinse the electric shaver under the faucet, because this electric shaver is fully waterproof.

First of all, a small introduction. On average, I shave 2 to 3 times a week. I would describe my beard growth as average, enough to have stubble a day after shaving.
Now on to the shaver. The first impression: it is a beautifully designed shaver, feels very solid and lies well in the hand. The device must be charged before first use. This is done by means of the holder / charger. Charging is very easy, you put the device in the holder and through a sound and a flashing light you know that charging has started.
Then the shaving itself. The cooling effect is not just a sales pitch. I often suffer from red spots and bumps / pimples after shaving. The cooling effect feels fresh and actually reduces skin irritation. I am very satisfied with the shave result. I use the device in the shower, which is no problem at all because it is completely waterproof.
I have not really been able to test the battery life because I always put the device back in the holder immediately after shaving. Cleaning is a piece of cake, just rinse the shaving head and swipe the brush under the shaving head.
No negatives at all then? Personally for me one, the cable that is attached to the charger I find annoying. It is a coiled cable, which means that the distance between the holder and the socket is very small, given the fact that the shaver can only be used on a battery, this should have been a normal cable in my opinion.
Conclusion: top shaver that is easy to use and provides a close shave. The cooling effect has actually had an effect on me in the sense that I suffer less from skin irritation.

Unpacked the product immediately upon arrival. The Braun CoolTec 2S was nicely and solidly packaged and both the charging station and the shaver were quickly ready to use. Always nice when a manual turns out to be superfluous! However, I must indicate that the shaver must be placed very precisely in the charging station, as it makes contact with two small iron points for charging. This is not the biggest problem as the device beeps and the lights turn on when the device is charging.
The device is relatively heavy, but this doesn't matter when shaving, the weight of the Braun also gives me a feeling of quality. Something that can also be regarded as an appropriate property of the device.
My previous shaver was the Philips AT750 which irritated my skin resulting in red spots (20 minutes). But I was first skeptical about the Cooling technology (CoolTec), it turns out to work very well and I don't suffer from irritation or red spots at all. The shaving result is also very good. In some tricky areas (neck) I have to go over the area to be shaved twice, but in general once is enough. In other words; the Philips has lost its place in my daily routine.
The first week I only charged the device on day 1 after which it lasted the entire week. INCLUDING the Cooling technology. The battery life is therefore satisfactory.
The cooling function of the device is switched on and off by means of a button on the device. This button is exactly in a place where you hold the device and I have therefore unintentionally turned it off a few times.
The cooling effect then disappears immediately. (which will make you appreciate the feature even more!). The cooling effect is reactivated within seconds after pressing the button, allowing you to continue with "Cool" shaving.
The trim function of the device is elegantly concealed and can be used easily. You only have to slide the trim piece upwards by pressing the button after which you can slide the piece upwards. This trim function also works properly. The trimming blade is relatively small (2cm) which can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on the shaving method/model.
All in all, I am very satisfied with the device and can highly recommend it.

I have been in possession of the CoolTec 2S for a week or two. Before this I had a Braun Cruzer but perhaps due to the wear of the blades, trimming (especially) became very painful and it took a long time to get everything to the same length. In other words, time for a new shaver. When I first started using the CT2S, I immediately noticed that with the trimming I came through my beard very nicely. The trimmer also immediately picked up all my hairs (with my previous Braun I had to go over the same place three times to get everything to the same length). Once at shaving (when my beard was short enough), I immediately tried the Cool function. I used to always suffer from irritated skin, so a good shaver is really an advantage. I am extremely excited about the Cool feature. It feels very fresh and I had the feeling that I could achieve a smooth result very easily. The device is also easy to rinse clean and I am very satisfied with this new shaver.
