How to choose a women's electric shaver?

Razors in the modern world are used by both men and women, which prompted the manufacturers of this product to launch an electric shaver designed specifically for women. Some customers unjustifiably ignore the division of electric shavers into men and women, since a razor for women is an irreplaceable thing, which in certain cases has its advantages.

The main attraction of the women's electric shaver is its complete set, which includes 3 attachments:

• for legs;
• for face;
• for the neckline.

Besides, the head of an electric razor for women is much wider than the head of a man's razor. This allows the procedure for removing unwanted hair to be carried out faster. The ladies' shaver has a more compact body, which saves space in your bag when traveling.

When buying an electric shaver for the hygiene of girls, you must first decide what it will be mainly used for. If it is necessary to use only for shaving the armpits, then it is quite possible to do with a conventional machine. When it is necessary to use it for legs, face, bikini area, then it is worth stopping at the choice of an electric shaver for women.

All razors (female and male) are divided into 2 groups:

• rotary;
• mesh.

The essence of the rotary ones is that they are equipped with a motor that drives the blades protected by a thin lattice plate. The razor works according to the principle: the hairs fall inside the plate, where they are almost completely shaved off by the blade.The plate is so thin that it allows you to shave off even the smallest hair. But the blades, unlike the foil razor, are located next to the plate, which does not exclude the possibility of cutting or irritating the skin. To protect yourself from cuts, you need to smoothly make circular movements.

Foil shavers will be safer than rotary shavers, skin irritation does not appear after them, and the likelihood of a cut is also excluded. But in terms of shaving quality, they are inferior to rotary electric shavers. Using this type of razor, for a better result, it is necessary to carry out the device from top to bottom and back.

In addition to the varieties presented above, manufacturers have also developed models designed for modeling the intimate zone.

A quick, high-quality shave is largely dependent on the blade - the more blades, the better. It is advisable that, in addition to a large number of blades, the razor is also equipped with a tweezers attachment, which allows you to keep the result longer.

Meals are provided differently for different models:

• from the network;
• from chargers (batteries);
• from any means of power supply (USB connectors, etc.).

Mains powered models have several advantages:

• no need to worry that there is not enough battery power;
• power supply without interruption, therefore the device itself works harmoniously (without slowing down).

But plug-in razor operation has its drawbacks.

• The location of the depilation procedure depends on the location of the outlet.
• If the outlet is high, the cord length may not be enough (the optimal cord length is 3-3.5 m). In some cases, you will have to resort to using a carrier.

Most of the fair sex prefer battery-powered shavers. It should be noted that such models are more expensive than mains-powered shavers, since they have a number of specific advantages.

First of all, this is mobility - there is no need to adapt to the location of the sockets in the apartment and the length of the cord. Secondly, such models are to some extent safer, since the likelihood of getting tangled in the cord is excluded.

They also have their drawbacks. If the battery starts to discharge during depilation, the blades will work several times slower. In this case, the likelihood of not removing the hair is not excluded, but tightening it inward, which causes painful sensations. The very shape of the device is more bulky and heavy, since it contains a battery.

When choosing such a model, special attention should be paid to the battery itself. Ideally, it should be lithium-ion (this is the most reliable option). The instructions most often indicate how many minutes the charge lasts.

The most expensive model is considered to be a combination shaver, since it involves the use of both the mains and the battery. Combination shavers run faster on mains and slower on rechargeable batteries. In other cases, they contain the characteristics of the above moles.

Today, rotary electric shavers are equipped with at least two floating heads and mesh shavers with one. But the number of such elements for different models may be different - the more heads, the higher the price. If we consider the models of electric shavers in terms of price and quality, then models with 2-3 floating heads are considered a good option in terms of quality and at a relatively low price.

The speed of work can be moderate or accelerated. These are the so-called multifunctional models. It is better to shave coarse hairs at a moderate speed, which will allow you to shave, albeit slower, but better and more painlessly. Fine hairs are best shaved at high speed. This does not affect the quality of shaving, but it does affect the condition of the skin after shaving - irritation does not appear.

Some models have additional functions that improve the use of the device.

• They have a comb attachment, which is relevant when shaving alternates with epilation, since it allows you to adjust the length of the hairs before removing them from the root. They also use these attachments in salons where they are engaged in bikini design.
• There are models that have backlight, which allows you to shave your hair without gaps.
• Shavers are available with a battery indicator, which eliminates the possibility of hair pulling out when using the device with a low battery level.

Of the above functions, the most relevant is the battery indicator. It helps to prevent force majeure associated with the removal of unwanted hair.

Modern electric shavers are endowed with the functions of both dry and wet shaving. In this regard, they have a moisture-proof housing, which allows you to use the device even under the shower.

In addition, among these models there are those that, due to their structure, do not work very well in combination with shaving products (being adhesives, gel or foam, they clog the mesh, preventing the blade from shaving off the hair). But usually the instructions always indicate whether you can shave your hair using a specific product.

Even if a dry shaving machine is used, to avoid irritation or discomfort, it is recommended that you treat your feet or any other area with talcum powder or baby powder before use.

If the wet method is used, then the foam will glide smoother than using the gel.

Modern models of electric shavers are almost the same type. Each of them has a separate attachment for the face, legs, bikini areas. All models have floating heads. In short, each of them has a specific set of functions required for basic use.

But some manufacturers were still able to endow the model with one or another distinctive function:

• Philips manufacturers have made rounded trimmer tips for their models, which serves as a haircut;

• the creators of Remington have equipped the razors with softening strips.

Besides, brands Philips, Remington, Panasonic and others provide an additional warranty on their products, which varies from 1 to 2 years. This is a definite plus, since an electric shaver is a device with an increased probability of failure. And there are certain reasons for this. One of them is the use in places with high humidity.

Despite almost the same characteristics and configuration, a certain rating of women's electric shavers has been determined, based on consumer demand.

• Electric shavers come first Braun LS 5160 and 5560. This is a mesh type model with a flexible floating head that allows you to easily shave hair in the most difficult to reach areas. The device is endowed with illumination, the battery keeps the charge for a long time.

• The second place in the ranking is Philips BRL 140... The model fell in love with buyers for its good equipment, which even includes a fabric bag for storage. In addition, the shaver is endowed with all possible functions, the battery holds a charge up to 8 hours, which is reflected in the indicator.

• Third place model Remington WDF4840 and WDF5030, in the case of which it is supposed to be used in the shower, they have all the advantages of electric shavers listed above. Plus, their heads feature lavender-soaked stripes to help prevent irritation.

Based on user reviews, the Braun LS 5160 and 5560 shaver, which is ranked # 1, has difficulty removing coarse hairs. It is relatively inexpensive - just over 2,000 rubles, but only 2 attachments are included.

User reviews confirm the benefits of the Philips BRL 140 shaver. The disadvantages of the customer include only the high price - from 3000 rubles.

Customers note that the Remington WDF4840 and WDF5030 models are of high quality and meet all the declared characteristics. Their disadvantage is the high price - from 4500 to 5700 rubles, and a rather heavy case.

Reviews of each electric shaver are mixed. While some respond positively to the same model, others, speaking about this model, note that it does not completely remove hair and irritates the skin. This is due to the fact that most girls have different hair structures to some extent. In some it is soft, while in others it is hard, so the same razor works differently in some cases.

When buying an electric shaver, you should pay attention to the size of the head, since models with especially small heads are intended primarily for design. These include the Braun SilkEpil FG 1100 model, the price of which ranges from 2,200 to 2,500 rubles. There are also design models from Philips, for example, BRT383 / 15. These models (with small heads) are inconvenient to use for hair removal on legs and armpits.

Some customers prefer the Japanese SolStick Mini APS-01 electric shaver. Its main advantage is its size, it is slightly larger than an electric toothbrush. With such dimensions, it has a battery and many of the functions mentioned above. The disadvantages include the lack of a floating head. According to users, the SolStick Mini razor from Japan does not quite cope with coarse hairs, but it is indispensable for a trip if the dimensions of the luggage are to be extremely small. The price of the Japanese brand is about 2,500 rubles.
