Philips shaver

Multifunction electric shavers overshadowed conventional razors, because they combine many functions that allow you to achieve a perfectly smooth shave without skin damage and irritation. Among all the range of these devices on the market today, the Philips brand products stand out in particular - their electric razors deservedly receive enthusiastic customer reviews, because they do their job just fine.

Electric razors have become popular due to the many features and benefits that a conventional machine cannot. Here are some good reasons why you have to think about purchasing an electric razor.

1. They will save your time. It is known that the first electric razor was invented by Colonel Jacob Schick after a long time serving in Alaska. He specifically designed it to save time, as in cold conditions, shaving with a machine took even more time than usual. Schick said: "You will never have to worry about water, foam, or new blades."
2. They protect sensitive skin. While the machines scratch and damage the skin on the face, electric razors slide over it. This means that you have no chance of cuts, besides, irritation after shaving is reduced.
3. Shave in hard to reach places. With the help of a set of trimmers for an electric shaver, you can control the length of your bristles in the most inaccessible places.

Regardless of your habits - shaving in the soul, fighting body hair or caring for a beard - this Philips device will effectively cope with all the tasks you set for it.

Shaving is considered one of the mandatory procedures for men who monitor their own appearance. Knowing how to choose an electric razor, every gentleman will be able to make a profitable and useful purchase. This device will be a must-have companion for many men, especially those who are often traveling.

The manufacturer of household appliances offers many models of electric razors with different consumer qualities. Consideration of their main characteristics will help determine the option that would be preferable in each case.

In order to get rid of stubble with the least effort and cause only positive emotions, you need to carefully choose the right shaver. It is important to consider all the details regarding the ergonomics and appearance of a particular model, since the comfort of using the device will depend on it. It is worth taking into account the design features that affect the efficiency of the electric shaver.

Grid technology involves the removal of bristles by rotating blades, which are separated from the skin using a mesh of stainless steel. The hair penetrates through it, and then is cut off by a blade. It is considered that such models cope better with the launched bristles and injure sensitive skin less, allowing you to avoid irritation. The world-famous company Philips is also engaged in the production of electric razors of this type.

The rotor system is distinguished by the fact that hair removal takes place using round knives attached to shaving heads. With this design, you can count on the fact that shaving will become more clean, because the knives better cope with the removal of steep bristles, growing unevenly. The leader among manufacturers of rotary shavers is considered the company Philips.

Later we will consider in detail all the features, advantages and components of the net and rotary razors.

In many ways, the purity and effectiveness of shaving depends on the speed of rotation of the blades and the number of conventional or rotating shaving heads. Most modern grid and rotor models each have 2–3 heads. The more of them, the better the electric shaver copes with its responsibilities, but for this you have to overpay for a little while buying.

Floating heads are able to adapt their position in accordance with the contours of the face, which makes it easy to shave off the bristles even in hard-to-reach areas. If necessary, you can find models in which each floating head has its own direction of motion, which ensures effective system operation.

Devices with floating heads do not need to press tightly to the skin so that they do not become motionless, having lost their advantages.

Initially, only dry shaving devices were produced. It is convenient to use them in any situation, even when there is no access to water. But more recently, many manufacturers have begun to focus on models for wet shaving. They are attractive because they can be easily cleaned under running water, and for premium models this process is completely automated. They are convenient to use while in the shower. Models for wet shaving can be equipped with a container with a dispenser for applying gel or special lotion on the bristles.

The presence of a battery in the razor allows you to care for your face while on the road, when there is no opportunity to gain access to the electrical network. If autonomy is important, you need to choose a shaver with a battery that has as large a capacity as possible and a high charging speed, but in this case you will have to pay more than usual.

Retractable trimmer is needed for a neat trimming of the beard, temples, mustache. It allows you to shorten the bristles to a certain level.

Protection against overcharging allows you to not worry about the fact that the device can be connected to the network for an excessively long time, which will not bring benefit to the battery.

The LCD display features premium models. This item is optional. To check the level of charge will be enough and the usual light indicator.

A system for automatic cleaning of heads and knives may have a device for wet shaving. It provides automatic hair removal from work surfaces. In models with a display, an alarm message is often displayed when cleaning is necessary.

In addition, when comparing several battery models, it will be useful to pay attention to the cost of heads, knives, batteries and other consumables for an electric razor, which after several years of operation are capable of failing and cease to perform their functions properly.

Before buying a shaver, read the instruction manual for the model you are interested in. From this depends on the convenience of using an electric razor.

Today, two types of models are widely used: rotary and grid.

Rotary shavers remove bristles due to rotating blades, each of which is attached to a separate shaving head. Today a wide selection of similar products is available. The number of heads can vary from two to five or more. Such models effectively cope with the removal of thick, short and unevenly growing bristles. Their disadvantage is not very careful treatment of the skin, which can lead to irritation.

Grid (oscillating) electric razors - in this design the knives are covered with metal nets, thus protecting the skin from sudden cuts. To minimize irritation after shaving, many manufacturers apply a protective coating on the mesh.Such electric shavers are recommended for people with sensitive skin. For better bristle removal, you should choose models with the most fine mesh.

Proper preparation for hair removal is the key to comfortable use of an electric razor. Consider the basic rules and tips you need to know to ensure the perfect shave.

• Shaving preparation. Choose the shaver that best suits your needs. Read men's forums or consult a specialist, for example, a barbershop who specializes in shaving, to understand how the hair grows on your face and which technique suits you best. While electric shavers are mainly used for dry shaving, new Philips models can also be used for wet shaving.
• Wash your face Warm water, hot showers or a warm face pack will help soften your beard and thus make shaving easier. If you have sensitive skin, consult a skin care specialist to find a sedative.

• The choice between the rotary and net razor. Determine which factors are most important for your shaving. Regardless of whether you want to save time, avoid cuts or irritation, in principle, two types of electric shavers are used: rotary and grid shavers. The first use a rotating movement, which guarantees a more gentle shave. This is a very popular option, because it does not pull the hair and provides a comfortable shave. Three rotary shaver mechanisms can help with hard-to-reach areas. Flexibility may depend on the brand, but it is worth noting immediately that Philips shavers are leading the way in this segment. Titanium blades, which are part of the rotating mechanism provide a smooth shave. The net shaver has oscillating blades behind steel foil that pull the hair out rather than cut it. These shavers have from 3 to 4 blades.

• Replace blades periodically. When shaving with a razor blade, blades need to be replaced every 1-2 years, depending on the strength of your bristles. If you have to press the razor harder on your skin during shaving, you may have forgotten to replace the blades. Rotary blades must be replaced once a year. You can also sharpen the blades, but this method is not very effective and takes some time.

• Use a suitable shaving technique. Each razor uses a different method of hair removal, so optimize the shaving technique by choosing a comfortable direction for the cutting unit. When using a rotary razor, make small circular movements with a razor head on the face, but do not press it and do not stop at one place to avoid irritation.

• Keep the shaver clean. Remains of hair can accumulate, especially if you have thick facial hair, so clean the machine regularly. The blades can be cleaned by removing the head and gently removing hair from the underside with a cleaning brush supplied by the manufacturer in the kit. If you do not have time for this procedure, you can use the spare head.
