How to choose a quality and inexpensive electric razor

The electric razor is the most common gift that a man can receive on his birthday or on February 23. And the question constantly arises: "Which razor to choose?". After all, some men need it for daily and smooth shaving, and someone just needs to take care of the existing vegetation.

System: rotor or network

All modern electric machines are divided into two main systems: rotary and mesh (vibration). The first electric shavers were exactly rotary. It was possible to recognize them by loud noise during operation. Modern models are much quieter than their predecessors, and shave much cleaner net models. Rotary razors have some disadvantages:

• not suitable for men with sensitive skin;
• there is a risk of getting cuts while shaving;
• a little rough look.

If for some reason a man does not like the rotor model, then we can consider a vibrating electric razor. The blades in these models are covered with a special fine mesh that protects the skin from cuts and excessive irritation. However, these razors also have disadvantages:

• clean shaving depends on one design or another;
• shaved hairs are crushed and deposited on the surface of the face;
• net protection gets stuck in the foam and smears it across the face.

A little bit about shaving heads

Shaving is clean and of high quality. Particular attention should be paid to the heads. and their mobility. Electric shavers with a rotor system have two or three heads, mesh products - from one to three. The more shaving heads, the shave the cleaner, and the more expensive the machine.

Modern electric shavers have two types of heads:

• floating;
• motionless.

The first view makes shaving comfortable and clean. The floating head perfectly follows the contour of the face and removes unwanted hairs in the most inaccessible places. Shaving the machine with a fixed head gives not so good results.

Kind of shave

Many electric shavers easily remove dry hairs.Such devices are well suited for travel and business trips. But many men are not able to give up wet shaving. He has his undoubted advantages:

• the skin is pre-steamed, which means that it will cause minimal damage;
• foams and gels are used that make the skin clean and able to additionally care for it.

You can choose a 2 in 1 electric razor. In this case, a man can use the wet method at home and on the road dry. Over time, he will appreciate the dry shave, because it is not only convenient and fast, but also very economical. No need to spend money on the purchase of foams and gels.

Electric shavers for wet hair removal have their advantages:

• moisture resistant;
• cleaned of bristles under running water.

Dry shaving razors are mainly cleaned with a special brush with stiff bristles that just brush the remaining hairs.

Type of work shavers: network or battery

Electric razor manufacturers are gradually beginning to abandon models that only work on the network. This makes the devices immobile and uncomfortable. On the market you can find electric shavers with a combined power supply or only on the battery.If you decide to choose the second option, then you should know that there are several types of batteries:

• Lithium-ion - the most popular and expensive, charged in an hour, working 1-1.5 hours.
• Nickel-metal hydride charges less than 60 minutes, work 40-80 minutes.
• Nickel-cadmium - budget options, charge a few hours, and the duty cycle is less than the above options.

Additional options

If a man wears a beard or a mustache, it is necessary to purchase an electric razor. with built-in trimmer (device for trimming hair). In addition, devices may have other additional functions:

• charge level sensor;
• overcharge protection;
• “Alarm clock”, reminiscent of the need to clean the device;
• various modes of shaving and speed.

All this makes shaving more comfortable and high quality.
