In ancient times, humans used animal fangs, silicon knives, and sharpened mollusk shells to shave. Over time, these devices gave way to dangerous razors. Around 200 years ago, men had access to safe means, and razor disposable cartridges were created less than a hundred years ago. But with all the wealth of choice, representatives of the strong half of humanity continue to look for the best men's electric shavers for themselves. Before choosing your first electric razor, you need to answer the question: "Is it really necessary?".
Men's electric shaver: benefits
First of all, I want to note that they look attractive. With such devices, it is much more difficult to damage the skin or cut yourself. With an electric shaver, the shaving process takes much less time. At the same time, all models without exception can be used for dry shaving, which makes it possible to do this comfortably in a train, plane or in a car when you are in a traffic jam. The price of an electric shaver is higher than a high-quality machine, but it turns out to be more economical as it is used, since it does not require regular replacement of blades. In addition, with it you can save on gel or shaving cream. An electric shaver pays off in about 1.5-2 years, while it can last 8-9 years. Also their advantage is the built-in trimmer, which helps to care for the beard and mustache more efficiently.
Men's electric shaver: disadvantages
Its main disadvantage is a less clean shave. The razor blades do not slip on the chin and cheekbones, together with the hair removing the upper layer of the skin, they work at a short distance from it. Therefore, until you can develop an individual approach to it, you often have to thoroughly shave with a razor several times in one area, and this can cause slight irritation.
Men's electric shaver: varieties
All modern models are divided according to their device into two main types: rotary and mesh. Since all companies whose electric razors are currently represented on the domestic market produce models of only one of the types, their choice is directly related to the choice of the brand itself.
Men's Mesh Shaver (Panasonic, Braun)
Razors mesh first appeared. The design of such models involves the presence of a thin metal mesh. Immediately behind it are blades that, when used, linearly vibrate in two directions (this is the second name of these devices — vibrational) that formed, removing hairs penetrating through the grid.
Men's Rotary Shavers ( Braun, Philips)
In rotary razors there are rotating round knives located in special heads. Such a system came about thanks to Philips. At the moment, it is used in every model of this brand. In addition, the same 3-head razors, albeit a slightly different design, are made by Braun.
In general, rotor and mesh razors do not differ in shaving quality, therefore, it is impossible to give a definite preference to any of these systems. If you have positive experience with electric shavers, you should choose a new one of the same type, since when switching from a mesh model to a rotary model (and vice versa), the likelihood of skin irritation increases.
