Choosing an electric shaver

The choice of electric razor is based on certain criteria, the main ones are the appearance, ergonomics and characteristics. Ergonomics and appearance are subjective parameters, and constructive and technical features require a more attentive attitude towards themselves.

Selecting an electric shaver: basic parameters

- type of shaving system: mesh or rotary;

- the number of heads and the degree of their mobility;

- the possibility of dry or wet shaving;

- work from the battery or from the network;

- the presence of a trimmer;

- Additional features and functions.

Now you can examine each of the parameters separately.

Currently there are two types of systems on the market: mesh and rotary.

The grid system is based on the fact that the bristles are cut off by blades that vibrate, from the surface of the skin they are separated by a grid. It grasps the hairs, while protecting the skin from cuts, and cuts their blades. It is generally accepted that mesh razors cope better with long bristles, they are also better for people who have sensitive skin, since they cause fewer injuries. Electric shavers Brown mainly from this category.

The rotary shaving system works by the fact that round rotating blades in the shaving heads cut off the bristles. Such a system is good in that it shaves off unevenly bristles that are unevenly shaved, thereby providing a smoother shave. Panasonic electric shavers belong to this category.

The number and mobility of the heads affect the cleanliness and quality of shaving. Recently, more and more common are electric razors having a double or triple shaving system. The number of heads determines what razor system is. Grid razors can have 1-3 heads, while rotary razors have two or three heads. The choice of electric razor should be based on what the quality of shaving will be. In turn, the quality depends on the number of shaving heads, the speed of their rotation or oscillation.

The shaving heads, in addition, can be floating and still. If the razor has floating heads, then they follow the contours of the face, making shaving more clean and comfortable, since they can shave off the bristles even in the most difficult places. Among the models with a floating head there are those in which the direction of the movements of the heads differs. If it is a question of floating heads, it is important to drive the razor, slightly touching the skin, so as not to block the free movement of the heads.

The choice of electric razor should also be based on the shaving it provides: dry or wet. Initially, they were created exclusively for dry shaving. This device is convenient to use on the road, when there is no access to water. Recently, many manufacturers provide for the possibility of wet shaving, since this is the way most consumers choose for everyday use. Shaving with such razors turned out to be more comfortable, and their cleaning is easier than for other species, since they can be washed under running water. Some modern models have a reservoir with a dispenser, into which a gel or lotion can be placed.

Another parameter is the presence of a trimmer. This is especially true for those who have a mustache or beard, since the retractable trimmer allows them to be quickly trimmed or shortened.

When choosing an electric shaver, it is important to pay attention to the source of energy from which it operates. Models that have a battery are extremely convenient for use in places where there is no access to the mains. And here it is important to remember that the larger the battery capacity, the longer the device can work without recharging.

In conclusion, we can say that when choosing it is worth paying attention to the cost of consumables, as well as the time for which they fail.
