Types of men's electric razors
Rotary
Their shaving system is formed from two or three heads, consisting of external disks with cuts and knives rotating under them. The advantage of rotary models is a more clean and smooth shaving even of unevenly grown bristles due to the hairline cutting as close as possible to the skin. Among the rotary shavers there are more models suitable for stiff bristle. The disadvantage is that if the skin is sensitive, such razors can cause irritation on it (although there are models that can be easily attributed to exceptions). One of the best companies that produce rotary electric shavers is Philips.
Mesh
The principle of operation is similar, but in this case the knives do not rotate, but vibrate from side to side. From above, they are covered with a thin metal mesh with a multitude of holes through which the hairs flow to the blades. Such razors do well even with three-day stubble, and even mesh systems are better perceived. sensitive skin. By the way, the first razor for teenager You should also choose from good mesh models. Typical flaws - loud work and problematic shaving in the neck. Good electric grid shavers produced by companies Braun and Panasonic.

Soft and fast shaving even in problem areas (neck). Lack of trimmer is not a big problem, as it is usually not very effective on razors. For such a price - the best inexpensive electric razor, a little inferior to more expensive. |

Good compact inexpensive electric shaver. Relatively high knife resistance. 2-3 years requires the replacement of the cutting unit, which is expensive. The best result is achieved with a wet shave, aided by a waterproof case. However, the effectiveness of the process depends on the rigidity of the hair. The lack of a floating head, oddly enough, does not interfere with penetration of hard-to-reach places. Strong vibration in the hand, from this discomfort when using. Charging lasts a long time, but you need to charge 8 hours. Trimmer causes conflicting opinions, because it is not universal and requires skill and experience. Main advantages:

The best electric shavers for owners of sensitive skin
18 555
High-tech premium electric shaver from the famous brand from the Land of the Rising Sun. Oh, what the Japanese know a lot about it, so it is in high-quality blades. Here they are durable, sharp and reliable, processed using nano-polishing, sharpened to 30 °, which is considered ideal for a quick and easy cut without twitching. The design uses a linear motor with a direct drive, the rotation speed of which reaches 14,000 r / min, and the power does not fall even with increased load or low charge level. Another thing is that the presence of a special sensor allows you to automatically adjust the intensity of exposure, depending on the density and stiffness of the "vegetation" in certain areas of the face. Another reason for the delicate handling of sensitive skin is a unique 5D moving head with a pair of friction-reducing silicone rollers and 5 nets: 2 for quick lifting of the bristles, 2 for finishing shaving, 1 universal X-shaped (trimmer) for effective removal of long and grip hairs adjacent to the skin.

Afterword. Which electric razor is better to buy?
We reviewed the razors, prices of some of which are ten times higher than others. From experience we can say: an expensive unit is always excellent, but not necessarily the best. What determines such a serious price range? Not only from the prestige of the manufacturer, but also from the number of additional accessories: brushes for cleaning, models of reticulums, supports for stationary fixing of the razor device.
There are more serious criteria that we advise to pay attention to: battery life (up to one hour) and its recharging (one to eight hours), the ability to switch from 220 to 127 V. There are purely cosmetic features: shaving of the smallest hairs, repeating face contour, dry / wet shave.Aesthetic criteria are also taken into account: the ability to choose the color of the razor, the type of case, the design of the device (convenience of the handle, compactness, etc.). The warranty period from the company can vary from 1 year to 5 years. And inexpensive razors can be comfortable, serve for many years, despite the low rating.
We wish you a happy shopping!
