8 best Philips electric shavers

The shaving process for a man is a certain ritual, but it does not always bring joy. It all depends on the type of shaving device. Someone is interested in experiencing the sharpness of dangerous razors, while others appreciate comfort and guaranteed safety. These are the qualities that electric shavers have. But how to choose this item correctly?

How to choose an electric shaver

An important quality of an electric shaver is protection from unexpected cuts. They are mobile, you can take them with you on the road, with their help, the time for everyday ritual is reduced. Today, more and more men are opting for electric models.

Of course, their cost is higher than conventional machine tools. Therefore, after the purchase, no one regrets to be disappointed. To prevent this from happening, you need to understand how to choose the right product.

1. Shaver type. There are rotary and mesh models. The first option shaves softer and is recommended for men with thin and sensitive skin. It is almost impossible to get injured by such a device. Mesh razors, on the other hand, can cope with thick and coarse bristles and shave them cleaner. But there is a chance of getting a cut with this device.
2. Ergonomics. Even the most perfect shave can be ruined if the razor is uncomfortable in your hand. Before buying it, you need to hold it, assessing the size and weight.
3. Charging type. Today there are few models that operate exclusively on the network. Basically, shavers are charged from the mains, and then used autonomously. There are devices that can operate on both battery and mains.
4. Charging time. It is believed that the shaver can be fully charged in 2-3 hours, sometimes even earlier. When buying, you need to compare how long the device can work after such a recharge.
5. Dry or wet shave. More often, razors are universal, i.e. shave both dry and wet. But there are models tuned to one type. Here, everyone chooses for himself: someone likes dry shaving to save time. And someone prefers to use gels and foams.
6. Cleaning. Of course, those options that can be rinsed under water are easier to clean. These include wet shavers or multi-purpose razors. And dry shavers should not be washed frequently under water. There are models with auto-cleaning, or equipped with a special box for cut hairs. You just need to take it out of the device and empty it. It is important to remember here that everything that simplifies care is more expensive. This parameter depends on the financial capabilities of the consumer.
7. Turnovers. The more revolutions the shaver motor can make, the faster it shaves. The fastest models are considered, making 14,000 – 15,000 revolutions per minute.
