In stores you can find many models of electric shavers - from simple and cheap to real "spaceships plowing the vastness of the Bolshoi Theater." What are the criteria for choosing a razor should you navigate in order to choose the most convenient model?
It's hard to argue that an electric shaver is the most convenient device. A correctly chosen razor will save you a huge amount of time and allow you to look neat and well-groomed. Here are the important criteria to think about before purchasing this gadget:
1. Type of shaving system
On sale we can find rotary and foil shavers. Each type of device has its own advantages and disadvantages, including cleanliness and accuracy of shaving, ease of changing the shaving unit (knives), the service life of the razor, and the degree of skin irritation when shaving. It should be noted that reviews on these merits about different models of razors can be found completely opposite, so it is best to start by studying the opinions of relatives and friends. Try different types of razors if you can.
By the way, the same can be said about such an option as the ability to wet shave with an electric razor. Manufacturers insist that razors that allow not only dry, but also wet shaving are much more comfortable, but user reviews about them are not so rosy.
2. Number of shaving sections
But with this selection criterion, everything is very unambiguous - the more sections, the faster shaving occurs. On sale you can find razors with one, two, three, four, five sections, but, you can assume, this is not the limit.
3. Mobility of the shaving unit and shaving heads
Many models of razors have long been equipped with so-called floating heads, which, following the contours of the face when shaving, significantly improve its quality. Likewise, the movable shaving unit will allow the shaver to follow the contours of the face even more precisely, keeping the stubble free.
4. Razor cleaning type
If the razor involves only dry shaving, then the razor can only be cleaned dry - using a special brush. However, razors with the wet shaving option can be rinsed under running water, but after that the blades will have to be thoroughly dried.
In a separate type, I would like to highlight razors equipped with an automatic cleaning station. This, of course, is very convenient and saves time, but the cost of such a razor will be much higher.
5. The presence of a built-in trimmer
This option will allow you to comfortably tidy up your beard or mustache, but professional styling is not possible with it.
6. Power type
Are you planning to take your shaver with you on your trip or only use it at home? The type of power supply of the shaver, which should be preferred (from the rechargeable battery, batteries or from the mains), also depends on this choice.
