Although the LCD display feature is often overlooked on electric shavers, it is actually one of the most important features that an electric shaver can offer.
What Does An LCD Display On An Electric Shaver Do?
For those who have owned and used electric shavers before, this may sound like a silly question; but the fact remains many men have never looked into purchasing or using an electric shaver before. A non-electric shaver doesn’t have any real need for an LCD display, but that’s a much different story when it comes to electric shavers.
An LCD display on an electric shaver will vary from one electric shaver to the next. In general, the LCD display on an electric shaver functions to give users the amount of battery life that is left on the shaver. Some shavers may have buttons that light up with LCD lights when the shaver is turned on, but that function isn’t necessarily useful.
Some electric shavers also come with charging and cleaning bases that use LCD displays. These displays will often tell users when their shaver is fully charged and if it needs to go through a cleaning cycle. These bases may also display when a shaver is undergoing a cleaning cycle, and when it is ready for use.
Some men may scoff over whether an LCD display is needed or not, but there are actually several reasons why you may want to get an electric shaver that has one.
Reasons To Buy An Electric Shaver With An LCD Display
Many men tend to only think about how they will regularly use their shaver, but it is important to think about your personal activities such as if you travel frequently. Not everyone wants to take a million cords/chargers with them when they are traveling. By having a shaver with an LCD display, you can make sure that your shaver is fully charged before taking it on a trip.
The battery life on electric shavers can vary greatly from one shaver to the next. Some only offer shaving time close to an hour, while others can hold a charge for several hours. A good way to tell if your shaver is starting to die is by tracking the charge it holds from one shave to the next. It is much easier to track this when you have an LCD display showing you the exact charge your shaver holds.
The bottom line is it won’t hurt you to have an electric shaver that doesn’t offer an LCD display because most men can leave their shavers plugged in the wall for extended periods before going on a trip. The LCD display is simply a useful feature for most men to use for determining when they need to recharge their shavers. With the amount of high quality shavers that now come standard with LCD displays, there is really no reason not to look for an electric shaver that comes standard with this function.
