Even when razors are varied, it should not confuse you in choosing a good electric shaver. Since men and women use shavers, it is wise to understand that there are shavers designed for each gender. If you are a man, you should use the electric shaver fit for men. Men’s razors are designed for the contours on the face and neck, and women’s razors are designed for their legs and underarms.
Because of the difference in hair texture, women’s shaver motor is not as powerful as a man's shaver. It is for this reason that the price gap between men’s and women’s shaver is wide. Regardless of the gender, there are two types of electric shavers, namely rotary and foil shavers.
Although, men and women's shavers are different in many aspects, both use foil mesh as a cover for their blades. The foil is important because it helps separate each hair. Rotary shavers have three wheels with corresponding blades. The blades are covered by foils, which are hooked up by springs. In turn, this allows the mated pairs to flex and match the contours on the face.
The skin is rolled to make the hair stand on its end whenever the razor heads touch and press the areas—face, neck, legs and underarms—for shaving. A good electric shaver can cut the hairs despite the varying contours on a man’s face and neck and women’s underarm and legs.

Using the back side of the foil, the rotary blades shave the hair off the skin. The hair then falls into the hollow area of the razor. Norelco is the most popular brand in electric shavers. Its performance is guaranteed to be optimal and clean. Among its products, the XL series, Arcitec and Reflex are the most competitive.
The foil shavers use one set of blades, and their mesh foils are thinner and more delicate. The material used in making foil shavers are smooth metals like platinum, stainless steel and titanium. The foils are intentionally thinner to have a closer contact to skin, hence, resulting to cleaner and smoother results.
Braun and Remington are two manufacturers of good electric shavers. Between these two brands, Braun receives higher marks. Besides the types of electric shavers, there are other things to consider in deciding which electric shaver is for you.
There are shavers that are designed for wet and dry shaving. If you are always running late and you need to shave while taking a shower, you may choose the razors for wet shaving. These for-wet shavers are powered by batteries; however, the performance may not be impressive.
Norelco is the first brand to introduce lotion in shaving. Norelco moisturizing shaving system dispenses lotion through a small nozzle from a canister at the back of the razor. In order not to irritate the skin after shaving, the lotion is expected to lubricate the skin.
Since most electric razors are powered by batteries, another factor that determines a good electric shaver is the amount of time used in charging the battery and the battery’s life. There are shavers that have a quick charging system with longer lasting battery life.
Because of fierce competition, shavers come with different features. However, no matter how remarkable razors are, a good electric shaver is one, which can provide what you need for less. Moreover, it should not cause any skin irritation.
