Electric Shavers are a fantastic way to keep your facial hair under control and get the perfect designer stubble. Using automatic blades to augment the shaving process, they give you the ability to shave closely or manage light stubble with ease. In this post, we take you through what to look for in an Electric Shaver, and our rundown of the Best Electric Shavers for Men.
Which type of Electric Shaver is right for you?
Rotary Head
Noticeable by their distinctive triple heads, rotary head Electric Shavers employ multiple blades moving in differing directions.
Pros: Great for thicker, coarser hair, and much better for achieving consistent results in difficult areas such as around the neck and jawline.
Cons: Can be heavy-handed, causing irritation for those with sensitive skin.
Foil Head
Foil Head Electric Shavers use two opposing blades with a protective guard. Through this system, it pulls long hairs into the foil before cutting it, sparing your skin from irritation.
Pros: Foil head shavers are great for sensitive skin, or for avoiding ingrown hairs. Good for stubble management.
Cons: They're generally less precise, and can only shave in broad, straight lines.
Precision Head
Built like a traditional razor but with automated cutting.
Pros: Perfect for detailing, and an incredibly close shave.
Cons: Poor choice for stubble management.
