Men started shaving back in the Stone Age. Not so long ago, archaeologists found flint devices designed to remove hair. In ancient Egypt, copper razors were used, similar to small hatchets. In those days, in this ancient state, a beard was considered a sign of a lack of personal hygiene. The shaving fashion was among the Greeks and Romans. The latter used for this special knives with sharpened blades. Such devices were dangerous, because as a result of one incorrect movement, one could easily cut one's throat.
Until the middle of the last century, most men used a special
folding knife with a straight blade as a shaving machine. These devices were unsafe and often left cuts. But over time, everyone has switched to a safer shaving machine with interchangeable blades. However, such devices had to be handled carefully so as not to accidentally cut the cheek.
A modern shaving machine is almost completely safe. His choice should depend on the sensitivity of your skin. The best shaving machine is the one that works best for you. If your skin is too delicate and sensitive, then it is better to remove the facial hairline with an electric razor. Some even use a hair clipper for this purpose. If you have no problems with skin sensitivity and want to be shaved smoothly, then use a machine. The main thing is the speed and safety of the procedure.
The electric shaver can be rotary or mesh. In the first case, the bristles are shaved off by rotating blades, in the second by vibrating ones. Mesh is ideal for men with very delicate skin. If you decide to choose an electric shaver, give preference to a model with a
lithium-ion battery. They can be charged at any time.
Modern shaving machines can be multi-use or disposable. The latter are more hygienic and economical, ideal for use on hikes or business trips. Disposable razors were first launched by BIC, whose products are still in demand today. The company Schrick also produces good machines. These two companies today produce a wide range of such products.
A well-known manufacturer such as Gilette is also notorious. He became known for implementing the unique Mach3 system. It was Gilette who first applied such a design as a floating machine head equipped with a triple blade.
Let's talk about how to choose the right shaving machine. First, pay attention to the number of blades. The more of them, the better. Lubricating strips are highly desirable as they reduce the irritation resulting from shaving. If there is a microcrest, this is also good - it facilitates the process by raising the bristles. The shaving machine for women should have single or double blades, a lubricating strip and a handle with a gasket that should not slip. In addition, its head should be rotatable.
The advantages of machines - they provide a smooth shave. But their disadvantage is that they often cause irritation.
