It all depends on the rate of hair growth and their structure. And to look perfect, you need to find the right razor.

For more than a dozen years, representatives of the stronger sex have been using shaving razors for personal care. With this tool, hair is easily removed from the face and other parts of the body. The main thing is to use the machine for its intended purpose and change cassettes in a timely manner.

According to surveys, most of the stronger sex give their preference to Gillette razors. And all thanks to a number of advantages that the machines of this manufacturer have.

• A painless shave. Men do not feel discomfort when sliding the blade. The hairs are cut evenly, and not pulled out, as is the case when using low-quality disposable machines.

In principle, similar models of razors appeared on the market recently, but from the first minutes they received recognition from adult men. When activated, the trimmer generates softened impulses and light vibration, which provides an easy glide and massage effect.

Do not forget that Gillette manufactures disposable razors, among which the SLALOM model is in great demand... This shaver features a floating head with two blades for maximum smoothness. The comfortable handle allows the man to control the movement of the machine, precisely following the contour of the area being shaved.

The presented lineup of razors is quite diverse. But in the primary sense, Gillette is working on a design issue known for all types of machines, namely disposable, reusable, T-shaped, floating head and heated.

The design of this type of Gillette brand machines does not have the ability to change the cassette.Therefore, you can only use them once. Men with gentle downy hair can shave off their hairs with a disposable razor 2-3 times. The cost of such machines is very low, you can buy them at any store. Disposable machines are to the taste of travelers wandering around the world. But, unfortunately, a man cannot get any comfort from shaving with a disposable machine. The razor handle is straight, the head has no movement.

The most popular type of machine tools. Their popularity is due to the presence of sharp blades that, with proper care, will serve their owner for at least 2 months. Floating head, comfortable grip, skin hydration gel strips for maximum comfort while shaving... And when the cassette becomes dull, it can be replaced with a new one. The only drawback of reusable machines is the large number of blades, where the first 2 remove hairs, and the last 3 cut the epidermis layer.

More recently, Gillette has released the first razor with a built-in heating system. According to experts, this innovation significantly improves the sensation of shaving. The heating level can be changed according to preference. Inside the shaver there is a rechargeable battery, which is charged by a magnetic station supplied in the kit. Don't worry about getting water on the battery. The body of the shaving razor is completely protected from cracks and accidental damage.

This advantage of shaving designs was to the taste of many representatives of the stronger sex. The floating head slides effortlessly in 3 directions, precisely following the curves of the face, or rather the contour of the chin. Another advantage of these machines is the presence of a softening strip.

This type of machine tool has appeared on sale relatively recently. But they have nothing to do with the plastic models of the Soviet era. Modern T-shaped razors are stylish and efficient enough. They easily cope with hair removal, while leaving no traces of irritation on the skin.

To determine which machine is best suited for shaving, it is necessary to take into account some of the design features of the machines and the individual characteristics of a man's hair.

• Ideally, a razor head should have 3 blades. Fewer blades will not remove hair as efficiently as possible, and more blades will damage your skin.
• The rounding of the heads ensures a smooth ride and a high quality shave.
• The movable part follows the contour of the face as closely as possible. Fixed structures do not allow for high-quality hair removal.
• The presence of a softening tape with aloe helps to avoid dry skin, resists irritation.
• The comfortable design of the handle with rubberized inserts is securely held even in a wet hand.
• The coarser the structure of the hairs, the more blades should be in the attachment.
• For a delicate shave, the razor head should be medium in size. Thus, it will be possible to remove hairs even in hard-to-reach places.

It is not recommended to use disposable razors on a permanent basis. It can be purchased if you had to travel for several days. But do not forget that even when using disposable machines, it is necessary to use related products, namely shaving foam, aftershave lotion. If we are talking about an electric shaver model, you do not need to use cosmetics.

An important factor in choosing the right razor is the stubble characteristics and the sensitivity of the facial skin. Coarse, coarse hair is best removed with a five-blade razor. But it will be impossible to shave off the mustache with high quality.

If the hairs grow back quickly, you need to purchase a C-grade shaving set with interchangeable attachments included. Although it will be much more convenient to use an electric shaver. Such models can cope with stubble of any structure and density, but not with a long beard.

Any man uses machines to remove unwanted vegetation. Some even have several models of razors. Reusable machines are purchased for home use, and electric ones for travel.

An important part of using your shaver correctly is proper care. Under no circumstances should the machine knock on the side of the sink, otherwise the precision shaving element will be damaged. Another requirement that few people know is that you cannot wipe the machine and its blades with a towel. Plates can be damaged and even broken from the hooks of the terry cloth.

After several slides on the face, the machine must be rinsed under running water to rinse off the hairs that have accumulated in the gaps between the blades.

Further, it is proposed to familiarize yourself with the rules for the use of shaving razors.

• Special cosmetics should be used as an additional moisturizer. There will be very little built-in strip.
• To help the blade effectively remove chin hairs, you need to warm up your face. Softened hairs become more pliable and do not impede blade movement.

The most effective and safe are the latest models of Gillette razors. In their kit there are several spare blocks that can be changed at any time. By the way, with proper care of the razor, replacement of the head is done every 2-3 months. If the bristles are coarse and dense, the specified period of time is significantly reduced. When using the razor by young representatives who do not yet have stiff bristles, the duration of using one nozzle with a blade can be up to 4-5 months.

Another important rule of operation is that in no case should you give your razor to another person. The razor blade, one might say, adjusts to the stubble of its owner.

The razor is a personal hygiene item. Even if the product is used by one person, he must understand that there must be a separate machine for each part of his body.
