When it comes to shaving, men no longer have to compromise and use cheap razors, with all the high-tech shavers available in stores. But with so many products to choose from, how can a man tell which one is the best for his needs? Here are some particularities and features you should for when you decide to buy an electric shaver.

Choose an electric shaver for more comfort in shaving

The electric shaver can offer you a fast, safe and comfortable shaving without itchy and irritated skin and without using shaving foams or lotions. Always invest in quality shavers that can be more expensive, but more efficient as well. However, it may take a while for your skin to get used to the new shaving mode, therefore, do not be scared if the skin will turn a little reddish during the first few weeks, as it is a very normal thing to happen. There are two types of electric shavers, namely foil shavers and rotary shavers. The difference is in the working mode, as rotary shavers use cyclic moves and are more appropriate for smoother beards, and foil shavers use side-to side moves on the skin which makes them more suitable for thick beards. The two types of models have several similarities in the design and working process, and both can turn out to be very useful, it is only a matter of tastes which one will you choose.

Which type of shaver is right for you?

The foil shaver is a model of electric shavers that is covered by a metal rectangle and has a set of vibrating and moving blades underneath the metal foil and can offer you a closer shave.

The rotary shaver consists in some rotating heads, usually three or five, that cover some rotating blades. While the foil model's blades vibrate, the rotary model's blades whirl to offer you a more neat and clean shaving. The contour design is an important aspect regarding electric shavers. The foil shaver has a rectangular shape that you can easily get under and above your chin, but the rotary shaver allows better access to natural curves of your face like the jawline near the ears or a very round-shaped chin.

Recharging features

Choose a model that can be battery powered so that you can take it with you on your trips or use it in a room where there is no plug socket. Many models have a special charging feature that allows them to charge while plugged in order to be used later without any electric current.

Cleaning features

Another important aspect is cleaning the device. Some high-tech models come with a special machine that uses a special solution to clean and sterilize the shaver or lubricate and dry the blades. However, this feature can mean more money, as the solution is very expensive to replace.

Once you understand which features make the difference and are worth your money, you should read some electric shaver reviews. The reviews featured on electricshavers.reviews can shed some light on what these devices promise and what they actually deliver.
