Shaver – types and types of electric shavers

An electric razor, or shaver, is an important tool for both professional barbers and personal use. This device will help you shave stubble, trim and generally keep your beard, mustache or head hair looking neat. In the article, masters of the chain of men’s barbershops in Kyiv “TsirulniK Barbershop” collected all the necessary information about shavers and electric razors, which will help you choose a device.

Types of shavers

Electric shavers can be divided into two main types:

1. Mesh razors have a design in which the blades are covered with a perforated mesh. This makes it possible to minimize the contact of the blades with the skin, which is especially important for men with sensitive skin. The head of the mesh razor usually includes up to three elements, which ensures a high quality of shaving. The main advantage of mesh razors is their careful attitude to the skin, they practically do not cause irritation. However, it is worth noting that mesh razors cannot always provide a perfectly smooth shave, which can be a drawback for some men.
2. Rotary razors, on the other hand, have a different design: the blades adhere to the skin thanks to the rounded design of the heads. This design allows you to leave the skin perfectly smooth after shaving. This makes rotary shavers popular among men who want the smoothest possible result. However, due to the more aggressive effect on the skin, rotary shavers can be too harsh for men with sensitive skin, causing irritation and discomfort.

Problems of choosing a shaver (electric shaver)

When choosing, it is important to consider that different types of razors are suitable for different needs and skin types.

Thus, the choice of electric razor depends on individual needs and preferences.

How to shave with a shaver

There are two main ways to shave with a shaver:

• Dry shaving is fast and convenient, making it suitable for use in any conditions.
• Wet shaving, on the other hand, is safer because it uses foam or gel.

The shaving technique depends on the type of electric razor. For rotary shavers, it is recommended to use circular motions. This technique allows for the most effective hair removal, since the rounded design of the heads of rotary razors adapts to the contours of the face.

Foil razors require the use of forward movements. The mesh-covered blades move back and forth to gently cut hair and minimize skin contact. This method is especially important for men with sensitive skin, as it avoids irritation and damage while providing a comfortable shave.

When you start shaving with a foil razor, it’s best to start with your neck and cheeks. These areas are usually less sensitive, allowing you to get used to the forward motion technique. Gradually move on to more difficult areas, such as the chin and the area under the nose, where more attention and precision is required.

Proper care of your electric razor also plays an important role in its performance and longevity. Regardless of the type of electric razor, regular cleaning helps prevent hair and oil buildup that can impair the shaver’s performance and cause an unpleasant shaving experience. Timely replacement of blades is necessary to maintain their sharpness and efficiency. By following these tips, you will extend the life of your razor and ensure it performs optimally for a long time.

A variety of electric shavers allows every man to choose the right tool and shaving method. The market offers many models and brands, making it easier for everyone to choose the perfect electric razor. If you don’t want to take care of your hair yourself, entrust this task to professionals. The masters of the barbershop in Poznyaki or in any other branch of the “TsirulniK Barbershop” will perform shaving and make perfect haircuts of any complexity.
