Mens Electric Shavers

Mens Electric Shavers come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles.  It can seem like a new shaver or special razor comes out every other day.  For that reason, it’s important to have a basic understanding of the types of electric shavers available for men.  That way you can purchase the best electric shaver for you.

The Two Main Types of Mens Electric Shavers.

There are two main types of mens electric shavers currently available on the market.  Those two types include the rotary and the foil.  While some men may claim that one works better than the other, it really depends upon what type of shaving of you’ll be using your electric shaver for.

Rotary Shaver

Rotary shavers normally come with two to three rotating blades that are able to slightly conform to the contours of your face.  Most rotary shavers are able to tackle longer hairs, better than foil shavers.  That means this shaver may work better for those who like let their hair get a little longer between each shave.

In general rotary shavers are known for being much quieter than foil shavers, but don’t expect to get quite as close a shave as you’d get with a foil razor.  They also tend to be easier for shaving difficult sections such as the chin and neck.

Foil Shaver

Foil shavers work by using oscillating blades that are found underneath a very thin, perforated foil screen.  They are louder than rotary shavers, but tend to be more preferred overall by men.  The reason for this preference stems from men reporting a closer shave when using a foil shaver versus a rotary shaver.

Your preference may vary however, as satisfaction in a product is directly associated with every users’ personal preferences.  Foil shavers in general give a closer shave than most rotary razors, but you won’t get quite as close a shave if you were using a manual razor.
