Best Electric Razors To Get That Perfect Shave

You’ll never want to shave with a regular razor anymore!

A wise man once told me, “You’ve never experience a good shave if you haven’t shaved with an electric razor as yet!”, and it’s an advice I’ve held onto closely since.

Like most men, I too believed in old-school shaving tools. A manual razorblade, oodles of shaving foam and those hand-led strokes up and down and sideways along my face. Cuts and nicks were par for the course. So was never getting that close-enough shave. I’d always remind myself how I hadn’t ‘mastered’ the art of shaving as yet since mine never compared to the job done by experts.

Essentially, shaving had to be a bumpy road (pun intended!) or else it wasn’t it. Never did I think for a moment whether the fault was not in my hands but in the tool I was holding instead.

The hand-held razor can never, ever give you a good enough shave when compared to an electronic one – it's a fact I’ve understood and admitted after using one for the first time. And there’s no going back. I don’t ever want to use anything else. It’s just worth it!

Benefits Of Using An Electric Razor

First things first, you’re free of nicks and cuts. Since the blade in electric razors is almost always behind a skin-protecting metal bar, you don’t risk the odds of getting a random cut when shaving.

If you have sensitive skin – like most Indian men, by the way – electric razors are your best bit since they don’t pull and tug the hair, thereby reducing the chances of skin irritation.

Electric razors also have a longer-lasting blade compared to the handheld ones, so they offer better value for your money.

Plus, you can use with or without water and shaving foam. And as a result, they’re also less messy to use.

And most importantly, the shave you get is so much better. That’s majorly because unlike your handheld razor that just has one blade, electric shavers have multiple blades to address the issue of ingrown hair particles too. Which is why, your skin looks cleaner, and your shave feels crisper.

How To Choose An Electric Razor

I mean, there’s no fixed criteria, honestly but let me try and address this query. When looking to purchase an electric razor, there are 3 simple ways to go about it:

First is the price point – whatever fits your budget should be your choice of purchase.

Secondly, features will play a key role – the one that covers all your concerns and offers enough and more product features is the one you could go for.

And lastly, and most importantly, choose between foil shaver and rotary shaver options – the former works for everyday use and is good for sensitive skin while the latter is needed if you aren’t going to use it everyday and/or have extremely thick beard hair.

Hopefully, this shall help you make an informed choice.
