In the field of electric shaver, manufacturers offer an unbelievable variety of razors, while the selection of well-known brands Nassrasier is rather clear. To help you decide, you can get an overview of worthwhile models in testing the best electric razor in 2017th
However, before you plunge into the price comparison, you should know the different types of electric shavers and the functions and features available. Only then you can contact a personal budget and consider which model is best for you as the best electric shaver in question.
Types of electric shavers
That certainly important component of an electric shaver, the shaving system. Regardless of whether it should be a cheap electric shaver or an expensive luxury model: Manufacturers are partly due to different reactions. A distinction is made between the rotating blades razors and vibrating blades. Both systems provide the basic similarly good results, so that no one can say a flat rate based on the shear system, which model is better or worse. Visually, the reactions of the different manufacturers, however, differ from each other in some cases significantly. For example, while Philips relies on three circular shaving heads, which are arranged in a triangular form flexible, build other manufacturers like Braun or Panasonic on a straight elongated shaving head. Here two blades each shaving head are usually present, which leads to better results at different length hair.
If spoiled for choice between wet and dry shave the scan can not clarify, you can also access to a device that is indeed powered by electricity, but a wet shave with foam or gel allowed. This eases the change, if you want to switch from wet shaving for electric shavers.
Ultimately can not make a general statement on the efficiency and functionality due to the shear system used and the construction of the shaving head. Therefore, here is the selection of a suitable system for you rather a question of faith. More items here on the reviews of other buyers.
Operation and power supply
With regard to the operation, the device hardly differ from each other in general. All tested devices are well in hand, are easy to grip and feature a - whatsoever - shaving head.
Earlier it was often still distinguish between battery-powered models and those with cable, but this is now obsolete in principle, as almost all manufacturers rely on battery power. That's a good thing, because that you are much more flexible and it can shave more comfortable, if no cable at the end of the device depends. The battery life is here often designed for several days or even weeks, but many models offer anyway a corresponding charging station, on the shaver is switched off when not in use, so that the device always keeps himself at full charge. It makes sense to ensure that the razor has emergency via a quick charging function, if you forget to charge it. So you can just charge it at the station for 5 minutes so that it holds out a shave.
One criterion, which should also reconsider beforehand is the question of the application. Would you like to use the razor just before the sink, or possibly also in the shower? If so, be sure to put on a completely waterproof model. But beware: Although some manufacturers the device certify its waterproof property, it does not not mean that it really is waterproof in the practical test. In particular, some cheaper models have failed here. Therefore, pay attention in this regard also observe various customer opinions. Also a model, which can be easily cleaned with water is highly recommended, as this facilitates the cleaning enormously. From the fact that you can clean it with water or perform a wet shave with it, but you should not conclude that you can use it in the shower, because this is often not the case. The recommendation is to accurately deal with the topic "waterproof for cleaning" and "waterproof" before you buy a device.
Costs, additional equipment and follow-up costs
The price range of electric shavers is very different. It all depends on the brand, the additional functions and features. So you can already buy solid devices around 50 euros, but a water-resistant device with plenty of features, a good battery and at the same time very good results can sometimes even cost up to 300 euros. Solid middle class devices abound most in the price range between 50 and 100 euros. Therefore, you should personally previously set a budget for yourself and then in the appropriate price range the best device - ie the device with the best value for money in its price range - buy.
Consider, however, the purchase and the subsequent costs. For as the wet shaver need to be replaced in the electric-powered model wearing parts of the shaving system. Here are for an original spare part easily between 20 and 40 euros due. It pays to check before buying.
In addition to pure razor itself, a look at the additional equipment is useful. So some models informed by the display about the battery or cleaning status. Many manufacturers also offer trimming or styling attachments, so you possibly can save an attachment to. Even cleaning stations are no longer a rarity, so you no longer need to make themselves clean. Compared to simple devices well-equipped models offer sometimes a number of advantages, in which it is worthwhile to consider them in more detail and consider whether the feature for you is meaningful or not.
