Through the Hair of an Influencer: The Braun Multi Grooming Kit Experience

So first I was standing in front of the mirror with the longest attachment attached to the shaver, staring at me a bit skeptical. What if I would do something wrong and I accidentally shaved off a huge chunk….

Grooming

A so important aspect of life, looking good, feeling good, being more confident, ready to take life to the fullest, something that can truly only be achieved if you take care of yourself.

And this all starts with your overall appearance.

For many men, shaving is a daily routine. Whether it is completely clean-shaven or leaving some form of beard, it is a must if you want to look appropriate.

So waking up in the morning, heading into the bathroom, and grabbing your go-to shaving tool is a daily routine for many if not most men.

Now if you take things more into detail, you might end up using several different tools for your grooming.

For example, combs, scissors, shavers, razors, etc. Whatever you prefer.

However, there are also brands that offer a multi grooming tool like the Braun Multi Grooming Kit (10 in 1). This essentially comes with everything your beard might need!

There are 13 different length settings. You can even use it for body hair, nose hair, your haircut, etc. Multi grooming means multi grooming.

But let me tell you a personal story and how I ended up with the above-named grooming kit.

The beginning…

It all started when I was about 13 or 14 and I had to start shaving. Every couple of days I would grab my dad’s electric shaver and get rid of the few stubbles I had.

This continued for quite a while until my mother bought me a cheap brand shaver with only 1 setting and this was to get rid off all facial hair. Not very efficient, but it got the job done.

Around 4 or 5 years later, I stopped shaving for good to grow a beard. That was the last time I used an electric shaver as my beard journey was just about to begin.

When Braun Gives You a Call

And then a couple of months ago, I got approached by Braun.

In case you don’t know I am working as an Instagram Content Creator and Influencer at my own channel.

Braun contacted me to ask if I would like to try out their newest Grooming Essential, the Multi Grooming Kit.

For everyone (if any) who is not so familiar with Braun, this is probably one of the biggest male grooming essential manufacture companies there is.

Anyway, after agreeing on a few business details, this Braun Multi Grooming Kit was on its way to my address, all ready for me to try it out.

Now the thing is, all this Influencer work on Instagram means that many (most?) of the fellow Content Creators only take the money for whichever product they get offered and give it a good review on Instagram.

But I mean hey… In my opinion, my beard is my moneymaker and I won’t use a tool that would take this away from me. So I was actually keen to try it out!

After receiving the parcel, I first had to unpack the kit. The first thing I noticed was that fellow model Ben Dahlhaus was on the package.

Yes, that is the guy that got famous overnight a couple of years ago for this picture:

Anyway, back to our story:

Next thing was to have a look at all the individual trimmer heads and then to put on the actual shaver.

There are 13 different length settings ranging from 0,5mm to 21mm.

Now that this was done, we had all the different attachments for body shaving, nose, and ear trimming, and so on.

As a little extra, there was even an additional Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide razor which was a nice addition to the vast variety you already had in this kit.

Time to test out the Braun Multi Grooming Kit!

Now my task for the collaboration with Braun was to do a video of me using the Braun Multi Grooming Kit products.

Keeping in mind I haven’t used an electric shaver since I was 13 or 14 years old, I had to practice first.

So grabbed the kit with all its attachments and went into the bathroom.

First the body hair.

Surprisingly, the shaver did its job quite perfectly. It cut through my chest hair like the sharpest blade leaving a really smooth feel to the skin.

Essentially as good as a normal razor would do the job using shaving cream. So…

Body Grooming Attachment: 10 out of 10

The next attachment I tried out was the nose trimmer. Let’s be honest here:

We don’t like to talk about it, but all men must trim their nose hair from time to time. So I adjusted the attachment on the shaver and stuck it right up my nose. The result? A clean trimmed nose!

Ear and Nose Trimmer: 10 out of 10

Hair clippers… No.

So I could not really try out the hair clippers. Therefore, I won’t judge this attachment.

But I’m sure you could make good use of them if you do trim your hair yourself.

Same goes for the clean shaving utensils.

As I have quite the full beard, I wouldn’t shave it off only to try it out.

Therefore, I can’t really judge this one aswell. But the blades are sharp, so I assume it would do the job quite well.

Let’s come to the main part: the Braun Multi Grooming Kit beard styling attachments!

The moment we all (or I) have been waiting for!

Now, please keep in mind that I’ve never done this before, I did not know at what length my beard was, and so on and so forth.

So first, I was standing in front of the mirror with the longest attachment attached to the shaver staring at me a bit skeptical.

What if I would do something wrong and I accidentally shaved a huge chunk off? (we’ve circled back to this, yes, and now we go on too!)

My beard, my choice, my experience my @braun_grooming. Thanks to the 10 function in only 1 device I'm prepared for everything that lays ahead of me. It doesnt matter what happens that day I'm prepared! ____________________________ #ad #braungrooming

But here is the thing… Once I started, I realized it was foolproof!

The attachment made it actually super easy to glide through my beard and trim it all to the same length.

The only thing you need to know is how long you want to have which part of your beard (which I’m still trying to figure out).

But the beard trimmer is a super helpful attachment for that!

Reklame | I’m ready for some down time. It’s been a very busy few weeks with travel and work, so we’ve decided summer vacation starts now! And to get me tided up and looking my best I’m using the Braun All-in-One Trimmer MGK7021. Go to my IGTV and YouTube channel to learn more. @Braun_grooming #BraunGrooming #Ad

So after being a bit skeptical in the start, I found it to be super easy and quick to trim my beard.

The Braun Multi Grooming Kit turned out to be way faster than my normal way with scissors and therefore I would also give it… 10/10.

There’s also a Details Trimmer.

After using the long beard attachment, I also used the detail trimmer to cut my lips free around the mustache.

This was a bit easier to start with and pretty much self-explanatory as to how to do it.

The Braun Multi Grooming Kit Video

So after testing out all the different attachments, it was time for me to realize the video idea I had.

My idea was to show that to be able to achieve great things in life, whether it’s getting the love of your life, or scoring that so important job interview, or whatever else you need to start with yourself, you must first feel good.

If you look good, you will feel good and then you have the self-confidence to achieve good.

Let me know in the comments if I have managed to realize this idea in the video.

But the real question here is: have I used the Braun Multi Grooming Kit since then?

Apart from being paid for the initial campaign, apart from going without an electric shaver for almost 6 years, have I really used it since then?

The answer is: Yes!

I use it almost weekly. I use it regularly to keep my nose clean as well as to achieve a cleaner beard style.

To cut off the little beard hairs that grow longer than the rest and to bring my mustache more into place. It is a good product that made my life easier.

So I would fully recommend anyone with a beard to get this high-quality yet affordable product.

Conclusion

As a conclusion, I would say that en electrical shaver is definitely easier to handle and more foolproof than if you cut your beard by scissors or even worse, with a traditional razor blade.

Unfortunately, as I mentioned above, I haven’t used any other electric shaver over the past 5 or so years, so I can’t really compare the Braun Multi Grooming Kit to any other brand.

However, the shaver does what it has to do, and I see little to no room for improvement.

Therefore I give the overall product: 10 out of 10 stars.

Are you using another shaver from Braun or even from a different brand? Let us know in the comments if you have a favorite go-to tool or if you’re happy to try out something new!
