First, the modern world makes you move at a furious pace, so often there is not enough time for shaving. And on the proceeds comes an electric shaver that can be used everywhere( in case it works on the battery).
Secondly, men with sensitive skin and just those who are tired of cuts on the face, which certainly appear after shaving, can breathe a sigh of relief. Electric razors are safe, since the blades are located in special heads or are separated from the skin by grids.
Types of electric shavers
The very first thing you need to pay attention to when selecting an electric shaver for a man is the principle of its operation. All models can be divided into mesh and rotary.
Grid
The grill( or oscillating) electric shaver is similar in some ways to the machine by the principle of operation. It is equipped with vibrating blades, which both cut off the bristles, as well as a special mesh that separates these blades from the surface of the skin. And the thinner this setochka, the better shaving blades. In addition, you do not have to worry about cuts.
Rotary
The rotary( or rotational) electric shaver is an excellent helper in the fight against bristles, which grows unevenly. It is equipped with round blades, which are located in movable heads and constantly rotate. There can be 2-3 shaving floating heads, which are attached in such a way as to accurately repeat the contours of the face and deviate in any direction. There are also models with a fixed head.
Shaving method
When choosing an electric shaver for a man, pay attention to the shaving method - dry or wet. Models for dry shaving - an excellent purchase for the stronger sex, who are often on the road. Such electric shavers can be used anywhere( if desired, even behind the wheel, for example, if you are trapped in a cork).
If you are accustomed to using foam or gel, you should pay attention to the models for wet shaving. These electric shavers "are not afraid" of water, are also easy to use, like the previous models, and most importantly - they are easy to clean( you can just rinse under running water).
In addition, electric shavers for wet shaving can be equipped with a special reservoir for the supply of gel or lotion. But the most important advantage of "wet" electric shavers is that they are also suitable for dry shaving. You just need to choose the appropriate model.
Power supply
Not every bathroom has an outlet, so it's important to consider where you will shave. The models with a battery or working on batteries are in good demand. Also on the market are electric razors, which can be used either by connecting to a network or autonomously.
What else is important to consider? If you decide to opt for a shaver working on the battery, you need to take into account the speed and capacity of the charging. It is clear that the larger the capacity, the less time it will take to recharge. And for recharging, you can use a special stand, a simple cord and even a cigarette lighter in the car.
Some electric razors with a battery "can boast" a charge level indicator. So before you go on the road, you will always know whether the device is in working order. Also there are models with automatic protection against recharging.
It is impossible not to mention the advantage of electric razors, which work from the network. Some devices require the presence of manual voltage adjustment. This option will appeal to those who often travel abroad.
Presence of nozzles
When choosing an electric shaver for men, please note whether special nozzles are included in the kit. They will be useful to those who grow a beard, wear a mustache or use a razor to cut hair on the temples. In this case we are talking about the so-called trimmer. It can be:
- retractable trimmer in the form of a separate knife;
- floating trimmer, exactly repeating all the face offices;
- built-in trimmer - an additional blade in a wire shaver, which is located between two grids;
Those who simply do not represent their image without a beard, it is better to buy an electric shaver with a retractable trimmer.
Additional features of
Above, we listed standard characteristics that can be attributed to all models available on the market. But some electric shavers can perform a number of additional functions. If your budget for buying an electric shaver allows you to choose a more expensive model, pay attention to instruments with LCD display. It allows you to see information about whether you need to clean the head or recharge the shaver.
And, finally, a nice addition for lazy men will be a self-cleaning function. Thanks to this system, you can not think about whether you need to clean and dry the electric shaver, since this happens automatically.
The choice is yours
Let's sum up. To choose an electric razor for a man, you need to first understand what it should be - grid or rotary. To buy a wire shaver costs men with sensitive skin.
All because there is a special coating on the meshes that does not irritate the skin and generally makes shaving more comfortable. Also, such models perfectly cope with long bristles. If we talk about rotary electric shavers, they shave the most qualitatively and neatly, but not suitable for members of the stronger sex with sensitive skin.
Next, you need to determine the sources of power( it is better to buy an electric shaver with a battery).And, finally, take into account which additional functions are provided in a particular model.
It is important to understand that the cost of many electric shavers depends not only on functionality, but also on the brand. The top three manufacturers include Philips, Braun and Panasonic. They can be called "sharks", which seized the market, but this does not mean that the models of less popular and popular brands are not as good.
