Perhaps evolution would not be so noticeable if it were not for shaving, with which a modern man manages to get rid of the similarity with the Neanderthal man. The only difficulty is to decide for yourself which tool is better: an electric shaver or machine. A small comparative analysis, set out in this article, will help you make the right choice.
Shaving quality
In any electric shaver, both mesh and rotary, the cutting element is hidden by a protective plate with slots. For this reason, this device simply physically can not provide an ideal shave.
With the shaving machine everything is much better: its blades have direct contact with the skin, so the bristles are removed cleanly - under the root. High quality shaving is also ensured by using two or even three blades in one cassette. In this case, the first blade raises the hair, and the next one cuts it at the optimal angle of inclination.
Technological improvement
In the heat of competition each manufacturer constantly improves its products, introducing more and more sophisticated and progressive technologies. Therefore, by purchasing a disposable machine or a replaceable cassette for shaving with a certain periodicity, you always get at least a little, but still an improved model.
But the users of electric shavers are to some extent away from progress. Once bought a device, even the best, from the moment of purchase begins to grow old( physically and morally).
Easy maintenance
After the shaving process has finished, the razor blades can be washed easily by simply placing them under a stream of water. Do the same with an electric shaver is unlikely to happen, unless you use a special model for wet shaving.
Cleaning the head and cutting elements of a conventional electric shaver is a more laborious task, requiring a special brush and developed lungs( for purging).
Speed and simplicity of shaving
Here is the main advantage for which electric shavers are purchased. It is especially important when you are in a hurry. Shaving an electric shaver will take you no more than three minutes. The shaving machine will require much more time, and in addition to its use you will need a whole lot of accessories: shaving cream and after shaving, a water source and a towel.
Get it all is not always possible, especially if you're on the road. But the owner of the electric shaver may need only a source of electricity, and even then not always: modern models are equipped with batteries with the possibility of autonomous operation for a long time.
Exposure to the skin
Another undeniable advantage of electric shavers is a gentle effect on the skin. The blades of the device do not have direct contact with it, since, as already mentioned, they are under a perforated plate or a disk with slots.
But the shaving razor blades move right along the skin, scraping off its natural protective layer and causing microscopic, inconspicuous injuries to the unaided eye. The result is painful irritation, as well as faster aging of the skin.
To summarize, you can recommend the following: in everyday life you can use an electric shaver, in order to freshen up before the working day, its capabilities will be quite enough. If you are going to a party, a reception or a date, do not be too lazy to spend a little more time shaving with the machine.
