Variety should not confuse you in choosing a good electric shaver. The first factor you need to ensure is to determine that the razor is fit for your gender. A man's electric shaver is different from a women's. Men's shavers are designed to shave your face skin where beard and mustache are tough and coarse. Women's shavers are for underarm and legs, where hairs are fine and soft.

Because of the difference in hair texture, women's shaver motor is not as powerful as a man's shaver. It is for this reason that the price gap between men's and women's shaver is wide. Regardless of the gender, there are two types of electric shavers, namely rotary and foil shavers.

Although, men and women's shavers are different in many aspects, both use foil mesh as a cover for their blades. The foil is important because it helps separate each hair. Rotary shavers have three wheels with corresponding blades. The blades are covered by foils, which are hooked up by springs. In turn, this allows the mated pairs to flex and match the contours on the face.

As the shaver heads work on the areas for shaving, the skin is rolled to make the hair stand on its end. A good electric shaver cuts the hair on different contours on men's face and women's underarm and legs. The foils conceal the spinning wheels on the outer edge as the hair enters the foil via mesh.

The rotary blade cuts the hair with the back side of the foil, and the hairs fall into the hollow section of the shaver. The skin then falls back into place. Norelco is the brand manufactured by Philips, one of the best-selling brands in the market. Norelco reflex, Arcitec and XL series earned the highest remarks.

The foil shavers use one set of razors. The mesh foil is thinner and more delicate. The foil razors are designed from smooth metals like stainless steel, platinum or titanium. In the foil shavers, the foil is made as thin as possible to get closer to the skin resulting in a smoother shave.

Two popular brands that manufacture foil shaver are Remington and Braun. Between these two, Remington comes after Braun. The consideration of razor type is not the sole basis for being labeled as a good electric shaver.

You need to determine why you need an electric razor. Are you the type of person who shaves while taking a shower? Then, a wet shaver is the right one for you. They are powered by batteries, as most electric shavers are. If you shave before or after the shower, dry shavers should be your choice.

Norelco is the first brand to introduce lotion in shaving. Norelco moisturizing shaving system dispenses lotion through a small nozzle from a canister at the back of the razor. In order not to irritate the skin after shaving, the lotion is expected to lubricate the skin.

Since most electric razors are powered by batteries, another factor that determines a good electric shaver is the amount of time used in charging the battery and the battery's life. There are shavers that have a quick charging system with longer lasting battery life.

Because of fierce competition, shavers come with different features. However, no matter how remarkable razors are, a good electric shaver is one, which can provide what you need for less. Moreover, it should not cause any skin irritation.
