Electric shavers for sensitive skin: features of choice and use

When a man has sensitive skin, it is important to use the correct electric razor. Those who chose not to pay attention to it faced problems such as itching and irritation, and sometimes cuts and ingrown hairs.

The electric shaver for men with sensitive skin eliminates the discomfort after shaving. When assembling such products, manufacturers rely on in-depth studies of skin types, its structure, and needs. Everything is taken into account, even the direction of hair growth.

There are two types of electric shavers:

• bladed;
• rotary.

Knowing the difference between them, the user can easily choose the ideal option for himself. In the design of the former, blades are used. The cutters are positioned to gently remove hairs as close to the skin as possible. These razors can provide a precise shave, but they are quite noisy and cannot handle long, thick hair. Rotary heads have independent round heads that easily handle long, thick hair. Round elements easily rotate around the jaw and chin. Such units work much quieter. However, rotary shavers are harsher.

The best electric shaver for sensitive skin removes the beard as gently as possible without compromising the quality of shaving.

The tool is not cheap, but it will serve its owner for more than one year. Such a machine guarantees a close shave even several months after use. With five shaving elements, the model is the absolute leader in its price segment. All elements work together to get rid of more hair in one pass.

These titanium-coated trimmers let you trim even the most unruly, crooked hair. The shaving elements move in ten different directions, so they adapt perfectly to any face and skin.

Rotary razor, in the design, the manufacturer used rings with a special anti-friction coating, which allows the razor to glide gently over the skin, causing less irritation. Dynamic Flex technology, which Philips Norelco has integrated into the shaving heads, allows them to move in five directions, easily following the curves of the face, making it easier to access hard-to-reach parts. Precision blades effectively cut short and flat hair.

There is an LED display that shows the battery level when it's time to clean the shaver or replace the shaving heads. The model comes with its own charging and cleaning station.

A brand that rarely disappoints, and Arc5 is no exception. Named after five ultra-sharp nanotech blades, this electric razor is the absolute leader. The shave is as precise as possible, but very gentle, and all thanks to the ultra-sharp precision blades. They cut their hair right at the base, which was achieved due to the well-chosen angle of inclination of the blades.

The linear motor provides up to 14,000 cutting actions per minute per blade for up to 70,000 transverse cutting actions. A cool feature of the model is the active shaving sensor technology, which senses hair of different density and adjusts the speed of the engine accordingly. The shaver automatically raises the power level when it comes to thick hairs.

Before you buy an electric shaver for sensitive skin, there are a few main points to pay attention to.

• Sharp blade. High quality, sharpness of the blade is one of the key elements. Dull blades pull hair and shave is not as close to the skin as the user would like. Ultimately, this leads to more pressure and forces the man to push harder on the machine, which increases the risk of burns. A great example of quality blades is the Panasonic models, which have an aggressive 30-degree bevel.
• Power. Burns, rashes and irritation occur when a very thin layer of skin cells is actually scraped off by the blades. Some electric shavers are more aggressive than others. The user will definitely feel the difference between a model equipped with a motor that runs at 7,600 CPM (cycles per minute) and 10,000-14,000 CPM. An electric shaver that has a more powerful motor will shave faster, smoother and with fewer passes.
• Shaving head. If the shaving head gets very hot due to friction between the blades, it will cause discomfort. It is also necessary to regularly lubricate the machine to reduce the amount of heat generated during use of the machine. There are models that stay completely cold during use, even in the event of a long shaving session.
• Wet or dry shaving. Some electric shavers (such as those from Panasonic) are much more gentle on the skin when used with a quality shaving cream.

Using a men's electric shaver is a whole science.

• First, the face will need to be prepared, this is the only way to reduce the negative impact of the machine.
• The first thing to do is wash your face. It is advisable to add a little lotion, it will protect the skin from irritation.
• If you decide to use a shaving cream, make sure it can be rubbed into your skin.
• It is important to keep the machine at the correct angle and not press hard, otherwise it is easy to get a cut or burn. With this pressure, the person presses the hairs, and it is more difficult for the razor to catch them.
