First off, electric razors and manual razors both operate by guiding some version of a blade across your face to trim down hair follicles. Most electric razors work by using a foil system, where the hairs are lead into the small perforations on the foil and then cut off with an opposing blade system. (It's worth noting rotary electric razors have a different opposing blade system than a traditional electric razor, but the interior makeup of how both versions work is essentially the same.) A manual razor works via a multi-blade system, where the first blade pulls your hair follicle outward, and then the remaining blades chop down the hair lower and lower. The best analogy to compare electric razors and manual razors is that an electric razor cuts down hairs like a pair of scissors, while a manual razor cuts down hairs like a knife. If you neglect to clean your electric shaver, you risk the chance of shortening the razor's lifespan and also running dirt across your face when shaving. A dirty razor can result in uneven shaving and potentially cause ingrown hairs or acne. Gutted I even have to give this company a star - absolute rubbish product - doesn’t provide the shave it claims- have tried both heads and have tried them at various stages of hair growth and may as well not have bothered as I’m left with the same hair I started with! Case: A case might not seem like a big deal. But, the foil and other components of many electric razors are fragile. Keeping them protected whenever not in use is important, especially if you travel frequently.

This shaver can be used wet or dry, so can you whip it out in the shower and shave while you’re cleaning up.Next is how you should hold your razor. Hold it perpendicular to your skin at all times , that way you aren't trimming your hair at an angle. Hold your razor gently too: You don't need to press down hard into your face to get the shave you want. In fact, pressing down on your skin when shaving can cause uneven patches, especially if you're pressing down with more force when coming up around your chin and the rest of your jawline. So essentially you want to hold your electric razor in the same manner as you do a traditional razor. Core to this electric shaver is the triple-head design, which adapts and contours to your face. According to Philips this design can reduce friction by 85%, making this shaver a great choice for anyone with sensitive skin and who find shaving uncomfortable. Battery life comes in at 50 minutes, which means you’ll get around 10 days’ worth of use out of a full charge, although those that travel a lot may prefer a model that lasts for longer. That said, if you want an electric shaver that can deliver a smooth finish, this is one is great value. Long term results: Even after the initial testing phase, the Panasonic Arc5 continues to impress. Cutting power did not decrease, even after months of use and there was no increase in post-shave irritation. It’s one of the more eye-catching shavers we tried – reminiscent of something from a plumber’s toolbox – but its no-frills approach and overall robustness make it great for beginners and butterfingers alike.

If an electric shaver will carry a high price, it needs to be amazing. Fortunately, the hugely expensive Philips Series 9000 Prestige manages to pull this off, delivering a super-smooth finish. We didn’t think much of the pop-out trimmer, which missed quite a few hairs in our tests. That aside, if you want a cheap electric shaver, either for travel use or before you have a wet shave, then it’s hard to argue with this model’s low price. Ideally, you want to clean your electric razor after every use to keep the blazes sharp. For most modern models, the process is easy as they're designed to be rinsed under running water. Just r inse your razor under water to remove hair and dirt, then take a light brush to your foil to remove any gunk buildup. It's important to maintain the foil on your razor, as that is what helps give you a nice and even shave. That foil is fragile and, if it gets dented or damaged, make sure to replace it immediately as that piece is the proverbial bread and butter to your shave. Key specs – Battery type: Rechargeable Lithium-ion; Battery life: 50 minutes; Charging time: 8 hours; Waterproof: YesThe 10,000 Sonic vibrations let the shaver glide over your skin with ease. For a shave as gentle as possible. The UK’s market-leading electric shaver brands are Braun and Philips. Remington, Panasonic and Wahl are also very popular manufacturers. What power source options are available? All in all, it delivered a great shave, though it was a little better on day-old stubble than anything much longer. While it has a detail trimmer for sideburns, it’s still fairly basic in terms of additional features – flashing lights and whatnot – but it’s a cinch to use and to clean, making it a great starter shaver for electric newbies. There are no fancy extras: you only get a charging cord and plastic foil guard. Shaving performance isn’t up there with pricier models such as the Braun Series 7, either – you will need to do a few passes for a close shave – but cleaning is easy and the results are good for the money. Another slight annoyance is the sensitivity of the power button, which means even the slightest brush can turn it off in the middle of a shave. If you can live with that, though, this is a great shaver at a keen price.

A shaver like new every day. The Clean&Charge station selects your cleaning program automatically, cleans hygienically, lubricates, dries and charges your shaver at the touch of a button. Eiwitten bevatten collageen en vitamines, wat essentieel wordt geacht voor het gladstrijken van fijne lijntjes en rimpels.

If you let a few days pass, the long hairs seem to fox this smart shaver, leaving odd hairs loitering on your fizzog. For the very best results, you can use it wet, then place the shaver upside down in its cleaning station and wait while it cleans and dries. This involves 80 minutes of fan noise and the shaver itself isn’t quiet, but if you’re horrified by the thought of going out unshaven, this shaver will make damn sure your nightmares don’t come true. There are a ton of specs to consider when looking for the right electric shaver, and that can make finding the right razor for you confusing. That's why we enlisted the help of Calvin Quallis, founder of grooming brand Scotch Porter, and Dr. Corey L. Hartman, founder of Skin Wellness Dermatology, to break it down.Trimming and shaping: Shaver manufacturers have caught up to facial hair trends and now many include additional features or attachments for trimming beards to leave behind a light stubble, or for shaping sideburns, moustaches and goatee beards. Some of these can be quite useful, though you may find that a dedicated beard trimmer is easier and more comfortable to use. Why we chose it: In the record books for "most innovative grooming gadgets," the Philips Norelco OneBlade Hybrid Electric Trimmer and Shaver is definitely in the top ten, maybe even top five. Thanks to its design, like that of a traditional razor, we loved the intuitive design, even for anyone who has shaved with one before. Our testers of all facial hair types agreed: It's sleek, lightweight, and cuts like a dream. It’s also the only razor on this list that comes with length comb attachments. So even if you’re not a clean shave guy, you can still use it to trim and detail your facial hair—even your body (just make sure to use a different blade for your body to avoid cross-contamination). Most of all, we love that it fits easily into our favorite dopp kits, so we don’t need a separate travel case or to save room in our carry-ons just to keep up our shave on the road.

Corded razors limit the availability to use them without a power source, but can save on batteries and last longer in general," says Dr. Hartman. "Cordless razors provide more flexibility in travel whether they utilize replaceable or rechargeable batteries." While there’s no doubt that a proper wet shave gives the smoothest finish, it’s a lot of faff and can easily end up with a few cuts to contend with. Buy one of the best electric shavers, and you can get rid of the stubble in a fraction of the time.

It’s not just wet razor manufacturers that engage in competition to fit the most blades into their products; electric shaver companies seem keen to compete. The Panasonic Series 900+ has six blades designed to give the closest shave possible.
