An electric hair shaver offers an efficient, convenient alternative to shaving with razors or trimming body hair yourself. Rechargeable devices offer more precise cuts with reduced irritation for a smoother finish.
Easy to use
Head shavers are electrical devices designed to shave hair from your head. Often replacing razors or clippers, there are two primary types – foil and rotary-style shavers – and your choice should depend on personal preferences and needs. A good head shaver fits securely against the skin without flaws or defects.
A head shaver comes in both cordless and wired varieties that run on batteries or an adapter plug, and offers wet or dry shaving options depending on your preferences. For wet shaves, use shaving gel or foam; for dry shaving, it’s best to trim hair shorter before using a head shaver for a cleaner appearance.
Fast
Electric head shavers may not offer as close of a shave as manual razors, but they can benefit those concerned with itchy hair regrowth or dry skin. Plus, they save time compared to regular razors, as there’s no lather involved. Position the head shaver on top of your head, turn it on, and watch as its blades get to work. Some models come with additional grooming accessories like hair trimmers or massage tools.
Convenient
Convenience is a primary reason why some people switch to electric shavers. Modern electric razors are cordless, equipped with automatic charging stations, and easy to rinse after each use. If you have a bald head, look for a shaver with pivoting blades that can maneuver around the curve of your skull. Models with rotating blades that move in different directions can decrease heat on sensitive areas like your neck and temples. Look for a model with a quick-charge mode for on-the-go use.
Safe
Shaving with a blade can result in cuts and nicks while using an electric shaver significantly lowers this risk and helps avoid razor burn or ingrown hairs. However, electric shavers may not entirely remove all facial hair, leading to noticeable regrowth over time. Consider epilation, waxing, or tweezing for better solutions. Wet/dry shavers used in the shower or bathtub provide superior results with less irritation and trimming, although at a higher cost. Patience is critical when using an electric shaver, and using an alcohol-based pre-electric shave product can help minimize irritation or rashes caused by the new shaving method.
