Tips for choosing a men's electric shaver
Rotary or mesh
All electric shavers can be divided into two types: rotary and mesh. Namely, this is one of the main parameters, having decided on which, you can choose the best model.
The rotary electric razor got its name thanks to the rotors - round "legs" of a small size that rotate at high speed. Each of them is on a separate head and provides a perfect shave. You can easily shave smoothly even in hard to reach places and with uneven stiff bristles. The most popular manufacturer of this type of device is Philips. Electric shavers with rotors are really very convenient to use, but for men who are experienced in shaving. This option is not suitable as the first razor for a teenager, as a gift it is better to choose and buy a good mesh model. Also, a rotary electric shaver is not the best choice for owners of sensitive skin.
We offer you to familiarize yourself with tips on choosing a rotary electric shaver on the video from the popular TV show "Live Healthy":
The mesh razor is equipped with sharp vibrating blades that are securely hidden behind the mesh for safety. Once inside the mesh, these blades neatly cut hairs of any length and stiffness. This embodiment is best chosen for men with sensitive skin, since due to the metal protection, contact occurs only with bristles and irritation is almost impossible. The grid option is suitable even for women. The most famous manufacturers of such electric shavers are considered to be “Brown” and “Panasonic”.
Number and mobility of heads
To choose a good electric shaver, you need to pay attention to all the little things. For example, in rotary models there are usually 2-3 shaving heads, while in mesh models there are 1-3. Heads can be either floating or stationary. Which models to choose? Everything is more than simple! The more heads, the larger the shaving area at a time and the better and faster the procedure will go. Also, moving elements will always be better, as they contribute to the easy shaving of even stiff bristles in hard to reach places. Another thing is that the more sophisticated the model, the higher the price will be for it. It all depends on financial capabilities. In any case, you can always choose an inexpensive but good electric shaver, because the choice of devices in 2017 is quite diverse.
Wet shave function
Want to choose a quality wet shaver? That's no problem at all! In fact, initially electric razors had only a dry shave function, which ensured a comfortable procedure without the use of water and skin irritation. However, numerous reviews showed that men were still more used to the wet type, and manufacturers went to meet them. Such models have become more popular and, best of all, you can always use most of them for dry shaving.
Additional features and power
If you want to grow a beautiful mustache or beard, you should choose a men's electric razor with a trimmer. This is a device resembling a clipper, which is very convenient for shaving and easily adjusts the length of the bristles to be shaved. There are also other additional functions that, although not mandatory when choosing an electric shaver, can be quite useful:
- Adjustment for voltage in the network;
- Self-cleaning, a reminder of the need for cleaning;
- Charge level indicator;
- Automatic overcharge protection;
- Auto hydration.
As for the power source, you can choose an electric shaver powered by a wall outlet or a battery. Of course, the second option is more preferable and expensive. You can use the device even when the power is turned off in the house or on any trip. In this case, before buying, pay attention to the charging speed and battery capacity. It is also advisable to read about the selected model reviews on forums and specialized sites on the Internet.
