Electric Razor Buyer’s Guide
Shaving should be as simple as picking up your favorite razor and cleaning away hair that you don’t want. That’s why you should always dig into the features of any electric razor and find the ones with the best blades and the latest technology.
Many electric razor brands change the models or add new features every other year, so we’ve put together a list that shows the perfect profile of our favorite razor.
The following features offer the most value for any electric razor:
Type of Blades
Most electric shavers come with 3 or more blades, while more expensive premium products have 5 or more blades. These blades are typically made of steel.
However, these shaver heads will also use a shaving system with thin foil, which is typically coated in titanium. This reduces irritation from such close shaves. With thinner foil, shaves are cleaner and allow you to create the perfect edges.
Pivoting Head
One of the main issues with older razors was that they couldn’t move around the contours of your face to get close shaves around the mouth, nose, and jaw. With the pivoting head design, you get a flexible shave that almost hugs the hair before removing it. You’ll love the silky smooth finish with a more flexible shaver head and thinner foil technology.
Different Speeds
From regular to turbo speeds, there are typically 2 to 3 speeds included with modern shavers. Speed indicators are typically found within the same LED panel as the battery life. Other shavers use a button to change speeds.
Cordless or Corded
Cordless electric razors are best for easier and effortless shaving. You don’t have to maneuver around any wires. However, the shaver suffers when battery life is low. You may see the speed and power drop.
However, corded shavers never lose any power, making them stronger overall. However, you do have to deal with a long cord that can get tangled up.
Accessories and Attachments
The accessories and attachments should always provide more value. Some of the most common features we’ve seen in modern electric shaver sets include:
- Multiple guards
- Pop-up trimmer and nose hair trim attachments
- Travel case
- Cleaning tools
- Charging pad or USB charger
Finally, any razor you select should have a travel safety lock so you can quickly turn off your razor and stop it from draining battery life while you’re en route. It sucks to arrive after traveling and not have a fast shave before a meeting because you need to charge the razor.
