How to choose an electric shaver?

Electric shavers have been a very convenient option for many people, especially men who are always on the go. With the vast variety of brands and models available on the market today, it’s quite easy to be overwhelmed with which one’s the best purchase. Fret no more because we’re here to guide you out.


Consider the Razor Type: Rotary or Foil
The type of razor is very important in giving that nice, clean shave you want. Both rotary shavers and foil shavers can give you that but since they vary in design, it all goes down to your personal preference.

Rotary - it features 3 or 4 round heads equipped with rotating circular blades that efficiently conform to the contours of your face. The razors spin behind a protective grid to prevent your skin from getting touched by the blades. 

Foil - it also features floating heads that make it easy to glide over the contours of your face. The blades are covered by a thin metal foil screen to protect your skin from the cutters. 


Choose one that has an LED/LCD indicator
This may be considered an additional feature but having an LED or LCD indicator on your electric shaver can be very helpful. This is beneficial in a way that it’ll be easier for you to know your shaver’s battery status.


Affordability
Electric shavers in general don’t come at low price points, unlike traditional hand razors. Of course, electric shavers possess more advanced technology to make shaving efficient and hassle-free. What you need to consider here is if you’re getting the best value for your money. Prioritize quality and check credible reviews to know if what you’re planning to get is worth every penny.


Go for credible brands with premium products
Brands that already made names for themselves in the field of electric shavers can immediately be a good choice. One example is the Panasonic Arc 4 shaver which a lot of users prefer due to its great set of features. It’s waterproof so you can use it in and out of the shower with ease. Most reviews also like the fact that it’s very durable.


Ease of Maintenance and Cleaning
Thoroughly cleaning your electric shavers is a must! Not only does this prolong the life of your shaver, but also *prevents skin irritation. This is why you would want something easy to clean and maintain. Some can easily be rinsed while fancy ones have self-cleaning systems (for a fancy price too, obviously).


Wireless or Wired?
Some people can’t be bothered to charge so traditional electric shavers are more practical for them. However, if you’re someone who’s more mobile and on the go, wireless shavers should be your best option.


Battery Life
Now that you’ve opted for a wireless electric shaver, then the next thing to consider is its battery life. Top-quality brands can last up to almost an hour, considering that each shave is for 3 minutes.
