Single-charge devices typically last for an average of 40 minutes. With cheaper models, however, it can be significantly less. More expensive ones will last 50 minutes or more. The charging time then takes about an hour. If you travel often and require the longest battery life possible, you may need to get a more expensive machine.
If you are shaving frequently and regularly, then the ideal device for you is a foil shaver. It is suitable for shorter beards that can be shaved quickly and thoroughly. It is built with system of oscillating blades placed under a foil screen, with the number of blades varying depending on the manufacturer and model. In general, the more the shaver has, the closer shave you can achieve. Normally, the movable and cushioned head perfectly adapts to the contours of the face to ensure perfect results, even on the chin and moustache areas. The Braun brand specialises in this type of machine.
Rotary shavers are suitable for shaving thicker and longer beards. If you shave less often or just occasionally, these are definitely the better choice for you. They usually have 2 or 3 separate rotating heads, which also swing in more expensive models, and are subsequently well adaptable to various facial features. Compared to a flat-bladed foil shaver, it can handle thicker beards and is much quieter.
Most electric shavers today combine both dry and wet shaving. For dry shaving, there is no need for any preparation or water, which is an advantage, especially when you are in a hurry. You can shave quickly and without irritation. Wet shaving is especially suitable for men with sensitive skin, where the risk of irritation is much higher. Wet shaving machines are usually waterproof.
We distinguish between mains and battery power. Mains-powered shavers can be impractical in certain situations, especially if there is no socket at hand when travelling. Another disadvantage is the power cable can limit the users' movement while shaving. On the other hand, they are reliable, and the user does not have to worry about losing power at the most inconvenient times.
Battery-powered shavers eliminate the issue of requiring the mains, but batteries go dead very quickly. They usually last 40 to 60 minutes. However, the most practical solutions are machines that combine both of these power sources. If the battery runs out while in use, just plug the machine into the mains and simply continue shaving.
Even shavers requires regular maintenance, and it is necessary to clean them after several shaves. For older models, it is necessary to remove a foil screen or open the rotary head cover so that you can remove the excess hair from the machine's blades using a special brush. Modern machines offer a self-cleaning program, or they are fitted with cleaning stations, into which you simply put the machine and all of the maintenance is done for you.
In order to comfortably shave in the shower or at the sink, many modern electric shavers are water-resistant, easy to clean, and fully washable. A package of razors or trimming attachments are often included, which allow you to try out different beard lengths and styles. Of course, the ability to fast charge in just 1 hour and get at least 50 minutes of continuous operation is a guarantee.
