5 Things You Need To Know Before Buying A Head Shaver

5 Things You Need To Know Before Buying A Head Shaver

The days of using blades for shaving manually are long gone. Everything, even shaving, has been mechanized to keep up with today's fast-paced lifestyle. Electric head shavers were created to allow you to have a smooth and clean shave without exerting too much time.

Furthermore, electric shavers are designed to not come too close to the skin, thus preventing cuts and bruises that a traditional razor is bound to inflict.

With the various brands, models, and makes of all the electric shavers, it can be unclear to decide which specific head shaver can meet your particular needs. If you seek some guidance and tips on choosing the right electric shaver, then look no further.

 

This blog will clear all your confusion and endorse the benefits of electric shaving.


1. PURPOSE OF SHAVING


Before we talk about the various benefits and advantages of having an electric shaver, we need first to understand the purpose your shaver should serve for you.

You need to ask yourself, do you want to shave regularly to keep your face or head clean from any hair, or do you prefer to trim your hair so that you can save a balance in length.

 

Once you decide on your purpose for the shaver, you can then choose between the type, i.e., ‘foil shavers’ or ‘rotary shavers.’
Foil-bladed shavers serve the people best who have sensitive skin and prefer to shave daily.

As the name suggests, these types of shavers come with a metal foil that prevents the blade from directly touching your skin, avoiding cuts and other inconveniences.


Meanwhile, rotary shavers have spinning discs with floating heads, three or four spherical heads that readily move in a circular manner around your features. Cutters revolve beneath the heads as they cut hair across the face in particular.

Rotary blades serve the purpose of adjusting to the various facial contours, giving you the ideal results and accurate cutting of hair, especially in the hard-to-reach areas.

Since a rotary shaver can promisingly cut long hair that grows in different angles, it is a choice by most groomers.


2. BATTERY VS. PLUG-IN VS. CORDED SHAVERS


Typically, electric shavers come in three major categories:


Battery Powered.
Plug-In Charging.
Corded Razors.


Battery-powered shavers come with ‘disposable battery cells,’ such as AA batteries.

They are usually preferable for frequent travelers that do not want the inconvenience of looking for charging ports. Slip the battery cells in, and you are good to go with these shavers.

But battery-powered shavers are not ideal for daily use due to their low efficiency in terms of power consumption.

But when it comes to plug-in charging shavers, you never need to worry about efficiency issues.

Before using the shaver, ensure that it is charged to the brim. This way, you won't have to worry about it running out of power while you're shaving, albeit most current shavers can last up to an hour on a single charge.

 

Finally, corded shavers are pretty rare since they are inconvenient to use because the cable gets in the way of shaving.

 

3. WET/DRY ELECTRIC SHAVERS

 

Some gentlemen choose to use electric shavers in the shower for the lack of effort in the morning. The moisture can soften the hair, making it easier to shave. Also, if you have sensitive skin, you should use your electric shaver with shaving gels or cream. Look for wet/dry shavers in this situation.


Dry shaving is ideal in quick shaving since it is fast and clean, and many men prefer the speed and ease of a dry electric shaver. Some electric shavers may be used wet and dry, with shaving gel or foam, offering you the best of both worlds. Some may even be brought into the shower, but we wouldn't advise entirely soaking them.


On the other hand, you should be cautious when selecting a wet/dry shaver because not all wet/dry models support the use of gels or shaving creams. It is typically the case with higher-end shavers that include cleaning and charging modules. The gels or creams may cause damage to the cleaning and charging equipment.


There is also the fact that wet/dry shaving models often do not work when plugged in. This would be for safety considerations if someone tried to use it while plugged in the shower.

That is why we advise you to skim through the manufacturer’s manual before getting creative with the usage of your shaver. Meanwhile, with head shavers like the Moon Shave, such worries are non-existent.


4. ASPECTS OF CLEANING


Cleaning is an essential part of your electric head shaver care and maintenance regimen. It is advised that you should clean it after each use. It's a short task and not a big concern if you do it regularly, but some men don't have the time or motivation.

 

The more modern head shavers have their built-in cleaning and charging stations, allowing them to clean themselves.


Depending on the type, the cleaning system may change.

Foil blades are easier to clean than rotary blades, but it is crucial to ensure the thin foil is covered during cleaning.

The most modern shavers, such as Moon Shave, have their built-in cleaning and charging stations, which regulate the cleaning rate based on how unclean the shaver is.
