Braun Series 3 370 Solid and reliable, great trimmer.
I had a Series 5 for several years until the tabs holding the head wore down. I like the Series 3 I bought in November 2011 considerably better. It has a solid feel and lays well in your hand. It shaves closer than any of the half dozen or so electric razors I have owned for decades (Norelco, Schick, Remington). I have a beard which cuts down on time per shave but I still have to shave cheeks and neck, where it does a smoother job with less irritation than any other. Even on the first charge, the battery has lasted more than a month without re-charging. The head attaches to the body differently and that should solve the tab wear problem.

The trimmer alone makes this razor great. Instead of the usual straight extension, it cuts at a 90 degree angle with respect to the razor's body, which makes it incredibly better and easier to use especially on the lower end of the mustache next to the lips and below the temples. The razor is not in the way of your line of vision when you trim! In the past I also had to use a Wahl clipper as well - I no longer use it. About the only thing I liked better about the old Braun was its charger stand.
