10 Best Shavers

Buying guide

Do you need help deciding which shaver you should pick? With our buying guide, you can learn more about what to look for when buying a shaver.

There are two main types of electric shavers: Foil and rotary.

• Foil shavers have a thin, perforated foil that covers the cutting blades, providing a close and precise shave. They work well for people with sensitive skin.
• Rotary shavers have circular cutting heads that flex and adapt to the contours of your face. They are suitable for those with coarse or longer facial hair.</li<

Some electric shavers are designed for dry shaving, while others can be used with shaving cream or gel. Wet shaving can be gentler on the skin and may provide a closer shave.

• Cordless shavers offer more flexibility and convenience. Look for models with a long battery life if you want to use it while traveling.
• Corded shavers can provide consistent power but require an outlet.

Check the shaver’s battery life and how long it takes to charge. A quick charge feature can be handy when you’re in a hurry.

Some shavers come with cleaning stations that make maintenance easier. Others can be rinsed underwater for cleaning. Consider the cleaning process when choosing a shaver.
