Ranking the best electric shavers in 2022

A modern man sets ambitious goals, conquers peaks, manages his family and business, but hardly fits into the daily time limit. How to save money on household items? Shaving for men is a kind of ritual, and technological progress has touched this sacred rite. Let's talk about the best electric shavers below.

The first electric razor appeared in 1927 in America. The first rotary shaving system was a head with a rotating cutter and went on sale in 1939.

The transition from mechanical shaving to an electric razor stretches for a man for several procedures, this is due to the addiction of the skin and its individual predisposition to irritation. Personal feelings play a major role.

What types of electric shavers does the modern market offer?

A man is faced with a choice:

• wet shaving;
• dry shaving method;
• grid (vibration) mechanism;
• rotary razor.

Wet shaving involves the application of a gel or foam that softens the hairs and improves the glide of knives. The function of wet shaving in an electric shaver is necessary for men with sensitive skin, if desired, you can gradually switch to dry shaving to avoid cosmetic products. The disadvantage of this method is a favorable environment for the settlement of bacteria, therefore regular disinfection is recommended. Wet shaving models are easy to clean, as they are designed for maximum contact with water.

The mesh shaving system is an electric motor, shaving heads and a series of vibrating knives, which are covered with a mesh with many holes on top.If it is necessary to replace the mesh, it can be easily removed. The number of heads varies from two to five. An additional trimmer is designed to shave elongated hairs and is located between the grids. Such a shave is considered gentle on the skin, minimally irritating it, and is also suitable for multi-day stubble. The hairs are crushed to the state of dust, which settles on the cutting block. The compactness and light weight of the foil shaver complete the list of positive qualities. However, when working with shaving foam, it slips, leaving individual hairs not shaved off. Braun and Panasonic remain the favorites among manufacturers of grid models on the market.

The rotary movable system is a series of disk-shaped heads with holes, under which the knives are located. The motor drives eccentric gears that transmit torque to the blades. The nozzle of the head remains motionless, hairs fall under it and are cut off. It is appropriate to draw an analogy with a cassette razor: the hairs are lifted with one blade, then shaved off with another. The number of working heads depends on the device model. The presence of a floating head guarantees a clean and close shave in one step, this type is recommended for hard bristles. The shaving head has a longer shelf life than the foil type. For sensitive skin, this type of electric shavers remains aggressive.

Criteria for choosing an electric shaver

1. quality and minimum skin irritation after shaving;
2. comfortable and practical use, ergonomics;
3. profitable equipment;
4. the most affordable ways to clean knives and blades, self-cleaning;
5. composition and technology of blade production;
6. the possibility and duration of battery operation, ways to charge it;
7. additional functions;
8. the number of shaving elements;
9. guarantee period;
10. device dimensions;
11. the presence of a universal trimmer that allows you to do the alignment of the beard, temples, mustache.

A little about batteries: Nickel-metal hydride and nickel-cadmium batteries are almost a thing of the past. The reason was the “memory effect”: a battery that is not fully charged next time uses the capacity previously set, thus reducing the operating time. Lithium-ion batteries - Li-ion, which have recently been declining in price and becoming available, have come to the fore. If your shaver is powered by a nickel-metal hydride or nickel-cadmium battery, be sure to fully discharge it before charging it.

How does sensor shaving technology work?

A versatile sensor scans bristle density to determine and control motor speed. Thick areas of stubble are shaved with a hard shave, and a soft shave is used for fine hairs. The selective process provides a careful attitude to the skin, reduces its irritation, preserves the skin epithelium. At the same time, the quality of shaving does not suffer: a snug fit of the heads, at the speed selected by the sensor, deeply captures the hairs and guarantees an optimal cut.

Which electric shaver to choose for a teenager?

A feature of shaving in adolescence is sensitive skin and soft bristle hairs. A wide selection of functionality and configuration involves solving the problem of dryness and irritation of the skin, eliminating cuts and abrasions.

Preference is given to electric shavers for dry shaving without the use of foams and creams. Before shaving, it is recommended to moisten the bristles and rinse with shampoo.

Advantages of electric shavers for a teenager:

• lack of cosmetics;
• preservation of the epidermis of the skin;
• lack of replaceable cassettes and blades;

Cleaning system for electric shavers

Ultra-modern models are equipped with an automatic self-cleaning unit. Foam or gel is applied to the shaving heads and the turbo mode starts. The system works in conjunction with a charging device, after which the shaving part is cleaned and dried. The complete set of the block can be supplemented with the function of bacterial cleaning, using replaceable cartridges of antibacterial composition.

Knives are cleaned with a hard brush, which is equipped with almost all budget models of electric shavers. After wet shaving, the shaving element is washed with running water.

Separate rows of models have special indicators - light or touch, which notify of the need for cleaning. Indicators display the process, time and inform about the completion of cleaning.

There is a highly effective but very dangerous carbon steel razor. A strong half of humanity in ancient times shaved with sharpened pieces of copper, silicon, obsidian volcanic glass and sea shells.

Today, the task is greatly simplified. An electric razor is a lifeline used, according to statistics, by 30% of men.
