Machine for shaving

With all the variety of choices that exist today, it is sometimes difficult to determine even hygiene items. What machine for shaving to choose with the perfect combination of excellent quality and great prices, we'll talk in this article.

There are different types of shaving machines for every taste, size, function and wallet.

• Disposable machines - the most affordable and easiest to choose. Price does not always correspond to quality, but the name speaks for itself. Such machines, of course, have a blade that quickly becomes dull, and here we have to think about profitable investments in this business. Disposable razors are recommended to take with you on vacation, traveling, to work (if, for example, a man works in a shift). The package is lightweight enough to fit in a backpack or small suitcase. As a rule, such cassette models, which pleases, do not need to run to the store every evening to look perfect in the morning. Disposable options can replace and medical machine, which is used to remove the patient's hair before surgery.

• Reusable machines are market leaders. They are chosen more often because of their practicality. The shaving time is 10 minutes, and the process itself is very safe. Several cartridges that come in the kit, equipped with several parallel blades. Irritation is almost impossible due to the presence of a lubricant that lifts the bristles in time to shave. Blades are made of higher quality steel and have a safe coating. One blade can serve at least 3 procedures. Manufacturers provide a huge selection of cheaper models (with a conventional blade) to expensive options (stainless steel, with a special coating, a mild shave). Buyers mention that the soft head and floating handle are very comfortable to use. For reusable razors, you can also purchase gel strips, blades - trimmer and nozzles.

• Double edged razors are now experiencing a peak in popularity among the male population. They are more efficient than disposable machines, but for the price of a metal case, which you often need to buy separately, it costs a lot. These options come with a conventional blade that needs to be changed manually. They need to be taken in bulk. But you need to start shaving with safe options, since such a device can be easily cut.
• Electric shaver ideal for dry and wet shaving, but not always the process runs quickly and smoothly. The battery-powered device does not always work quickly, but a few trimmer tips will make shaving more refined: you can trim a beard or make a beautiful contour, which is now popular. Distinguish rotor (rotating heads) and mesh (metal blades) shaving system. Of course, it all depends on the price - low-cost models are able to tighten the process for half an hour to shave, and expensive models that work without wire, with raw skin (and shaving cream!) And with powerful batteries will cost several thousand.

• Eyebrow Trimmer Used to remove hair in hard to reach places. Indispensable for girls who constantly monitor the shape of the eyebrows. This device will help save on visiting the salon. Men use it, trimming the mustache and beard. The metal handle is made of stainless steel or titanium, it is powered by batteries and a small nozzle-trimmer, which carefully protects the capture zone, so you can not worry about the safety and quality of the process. The pricing policy of such devices will pleasantly surprise.

To get rid of a beard, it is preferable to shave in the evening, so that by morning the skin can move away from stress.One of the most effective shaving directions, but more traumatic, is considered bottom-up. Before shaving, it is best to moisturize the skin, apply a special cosmetic or drug. During the process, it is not necessary to press the machine too tightly against the face; this can injure the top layer of skin. Use soap is strictly prohibited. Typically, cosmetics should contain glycerin, oils, antioxidants.

After the process it is necessary to dry the face. If the skin is sensitive and has dark hairs, it is best to wet it with a wet towel. After the skin has calmed down a bit, you need to apply a soothing gel or cream. You must avoid alcohol lotions, otherwise the feeling of tightness and peeling will not take long to wait.

This procedure can prolong the life of the machine for a long time. Machine firm Bradex can independently cope with sharpening, if you place a blade in it for 10 minutes.

You can use a special machine for sharpening in manual mode. For example, Razorpit designed for this type of sharpening. It is necessary to drop a little shaving foam on the blade and carry them around the machine about 20 times. It is suitable for disposable machines.

The razor must be washed immediately after shaving so that the next time there are no problems with a dull and dirty blade. If it is a reusable machine, it is enough to rinse it with warm water. T-shaped machine is better to disassemble, gently removing the blade, washing under the stream. No need to rely on the fact that the metal is protected from corrosion, will serve a very long time. Without proper care, blades will quickly rust and lose their sharpness.

After everything is cleaned, the machine must be treated with alcohol or a small amount of vodka and immediately wiped with a dry cloth or dried under a stream of hot air.

At one of the forums, a so-called “scale of aggressiveness” was developed. It was adopted in order to freely be able to navigate the variety of machines. Here are some concepts: Muhle R41 = 9.5, Parker 26C = 4.0, Muhle R89 = 3.5.

Aggressiveness is affected by various parameters.: clearance, weight of razor blade, weight of metal handle, blade, center of gravity. The most aggressive models achieve a smoother shave, but significantly injure the skin, less aggressive models allow beginners to choose how to shave, although this does not really affect shaving, as often young people themselves are able to navigate as a blade.

Washing with warm water will help avoid irritation and soften hard hairs, the razor will go softer without causing discomfort. Shave better after a shower. Then apply gel or foam. Hair removal on dry skin is fraught with cuts and irritation. The cream will make the skin smooth, over which the machine will slide smoothly without causing harm. If shaving occurs in a hurry, you can use air conditioning. In case a shaving brush is used, then you need to whip a drop of cream to a state of foam for 2-3 minutes, and then apply it in a circular motion on the face. And if you can relax and do not rush anywhere, then the cream should be given to moisturize the skin and soak the hairs for 2-3 minutes.

When wet shaving to keep the device optimally at an angle of 30 degrees. Need to gently hold the machine on the face, not too pressing.Over time, men adapt themselves to hair growth, but if there is no experience in this business, then it is necessary to shave in the direction of hair growth, most often from top to bottom. If you go in the opposite direction, it is possible to get irritation, which additionally will have to be treated.

Everyone has their own hair growth characteristics, so it’s better to remember where and in what place they grow and at what angle in order to avoid irritation. We should not forget that before shaving a beard it is better to make a haircut, a razor can easily shave off the stubble, but with long hair it will have to be tight, you need to ease the task. During the process, wash the blade with warm water. It is necessary to avoid stretching the skin, as well as to avoid pressure on the razor, it harms the skin, the machine and the blade. This also applies to the depilation of the legs.

When dry shaving need to apply a special lotion for razors on batteries. Lotion with the addition of alcohol will help disinfect the skin. These machines are designed for haircuts rather than for careful shaving, so they are good to use when shaving your head. At first it is better to start with tender and sensitive areas, because then the electric razor warms up and can damage the skin. After the procedure, it is necessary to clean the device and lubricate the cutting material a little.

After shaving, you need to wash, better with a scrub, which will help get rid of excess hair and keratinized skin particles, then - washing with cold water and moisturizing. It is better to nourish the skin without adding perfume or alcohol, which will only irritate. It is better to find a gel with a pleasant aroma, and put off the perfume for later use. The blades will last longer if they are dried and left in a safe place immediately after shaving.

You need to pay attention to the quality of the machine, the material (plastic, metal), follow the kit that comes with the razor, the blades and the material - that's all simple criteria. The country that makes the machines plays almost no role. Of course, now German and American machines play more authority, but Chinese counterparts are no worse. True, comrades from the Middle Kingdom draw credit for the production of disposable razors (regarding the company Gillette), in terms of electric razors, the statistics is so far deplorable. It is better to spend a little more finances and purchase a Japanese model, especially if it is worth choosing as a gift. The Japanese razor will last much longer than the Chinese counterpart.

Russian production of razors is ambiguous. Rumor has it that Soviet manufacturers were famous for their beautiful T-razor, but after the collapse of the USSR, many plants were in neighboring countries, and other manufacturers ceased to exist. Surviving brands try to compete with cheap Chinese products and factories Gillette, which practically reduces the production of razors in Russia to no. However, many say that the firm Schick worthy of attention of men. Well, why not try.
