Best electric shavers for men

In this case, for men, there is nothing better than an electric razor that can cope with both short and longer stubble. To select an inexpensive, efficient, convenient and safe model, taking into account user feedback, a rating of good devices was compiled.

How to choose an electric shaver for men

It is most convenient to use the device with everything you need for shaving in a set (brush, additional attachments, etc.). Also, for comfortable operation, an LCD screen will be useful, which displays the current state of the device - the need to charge the battery, replace or clean the blades. For additional mustache care and sideburns, you will need devices with a built-in trimmer.

Shaving system

Basically, electric models are designed for dry shaving, without the use of foams and other similar products. It is very convenient on the road and also saves time. However, this procedure increases the risk of skin irritation, so you need to be careful. Devices for the wet method of vegetation involves the application of the above products to the surface and the application of water. They are more relevant at home when there is access to a tap.

Way of work

Before choosing an electric shaver for men, you need to divide it into 2 types - rotary and mesh. In the first case, the movements are made by the blades themselves or special heads, adjusting to the density and length of the bristles, as well as to the relief of the dermis. They are also called rotational. This option is convenient for those who don't want to put in the effort of shaving. By mesh, we mean an apparatus with a steel mesh covering the cutting elements. This reduces their contact with the face and reduces the likelihood of injury.

Shaving elements

In most cases, manufacturers equip their products with 2-3 shaving heads. This is usually sufficient for working with a thick and long beard. They must be made of stainless steel so that, in contact with water, if rinsed under a tap, they do not corrode. For ease of maintenance, it is better to choose self-sharpening blades, or, over time, they will have to be changed.

Nutrition

For frequent use at home, it is better to choose models that operate on the network. They are more powerful and do not require constant monitoring of the battery status. However, the power cable may be short, and then it will become tied to the outlet. On the road, devices that operate on a battery are more relevant. If necessary, it can be charged from the mains, and this is enough for 7-14 procedures. Those looking for a versatile option should pay attention to devices that shave in both wired and wireless mode.

Battery

Battery-powered cars are charged using a power cord or a special stand that usually comes with the kit. In the latter case, there is no corresponding connector. Most often, standard batteries such as "AA" or "AAA" are used here.More expensive models have built-in sources, which take from 1 to 12 hours to replenish the resource.

Equipment

If there is no possibility of washing the heads under running water, then a special cleaning brush in the kit will be useful. Also, it is not always possible to find suitable replacement razor blades, so it is better to choose models with replacement elements in the set. A protective cover is essential for trouble-free transportation.

Which electric shaver for men is better

For men with sensitive skin, it is safer to use models with the possibility of applying foam to soften the surface during the procedure. This will avoid irritation and microtrauma of the dermis. However, this option is not very convenient and is rarely considered as an alternative to a mechanical machine. To automate the process, it is better to choose devices with a dry mode of operation, which do not require the use of additional funds.

Which electric shaver for men is better to choose should be decided taking into account the purposes of its use:

• For cutting thick, dense stubble, the Moser 3615-0050 / 51 with vibrating blades covered with mesh is a good choice.
• If you need to create a nice and neat beard edging, then the Scarlett SC-SH65R55 with sharp cutting elements is the best option.
• To make fabrics smooth, the Philips S5100 Series 5000 is most relevant, which lifts the hairs and cuts them painlessly.
• If the beard is not very long and thick, you can buy the Galaxy GL4200 mesh device, which copes with vegetation of both short and medium length.
• For keeping the whiskers in order, we recommend the device "Xiaomi Enchen BlackStone", which works autonomously for up to 90 minutes.
• Owners of sensitive skin can use the Panasonic ES-6003, which cuts at a 30 degree angle with minimal risk of injury to the face.
• For an effective and fast shave with maximum coverage, the Remington PR1350 electric shaver is useful, which exactly follows the contours of the face.
• If you need to capture hairs in the neck and chin area, the Braun 5147s Series 5 with LED indication is just right.
• For dry hair removal on the road (business trip, travel) without the use of foam, Endever Sven-965 is best suited, which works on a full charge for up to 50 minutes.
• If delicate vegetation is important, then you should pay special attention to Centek CT-2170 with minimal impact on the face.

Even the most inexpensive men's electric shaver is a worthy replacement for conventional shaving razors. With the right choice, it will save time, minimize side effects and make it easier to care for your beard.
