 electric shavers for men

By Jennifer Hartson

With so many different electric shaver options for men on the market, it can be very difficult to know which one is the best electric shaver for men. There are major differences in the technology, performance, and capabilities of each shaver. Below I will outline two key factors you can take into consideration to determine which electric shaver will be the best for your unique needs. Here are some quick guidelines:

Cutting Performance    electric shavers for men
Cutting performance is obviously one of the most important features to look at when evaluating electric shavers. This will be a determining factor in how smooth the shaver cuts and how many passes are necessary to achieve a smooth even shave. For determine the best cutting performance, you'll need to look at the shavers specifications to determine the rotations per minute - RPM. Most razors operate within the 8,000 to 10,000 RPM range. If you want the best cutting performance you should try to identify a razor that operates at the least 10,000 RPM or more. This will provide you with the best cut and allow you to complete your shaving quicker than using a shaver with a slower RPM.

Wet Dry Functionality

Are you one of the many men that like to shave while they are showering? If so you'll want to ensure that the electric shaver you decide on is waterproof and supports true wet dry functionality. Aside from providing the convenience of shaving in the shower, the better shavers with wet dry capabilities also have a cleaning mode that you can run to clean your shaver while in the shower. Be sure to check the feature list for an underwater cleaning mode.   electric shavers for men

Below I will highlight two shavers that are best in class for performance and one also provides true wet dry functionality:

Panasonic es8243a Arc IV Nano    electric shavers for men

The Panasonic es8243a Arc IV Nano offers outstanding shaving performance with a single stroke. It is equipped with four cutting blades as well as a quadruple foil. The blades of the IV Nano are powered by the liner motor of Panasonic that functions at an incredibly fast rate. It operates at 13,000 rpms so it has top-of -the line cutting performance.

The Panasonic es8243a Arc IV Nano also has true Wet dry functionality. It can perform equally well in both wet and dry conditions. Even the cleaning process for this shaver operates with lightning fast speed. You simply hold the shaver under the water and activate turbo mode which makes it run at 17,000 RPM which vibrates off any clippings.

Braun Series 7 790cc

The Braun Series 7 790cc is another one of the top performing shavers on the market. This is due to Braun's Pulsonic technology used in the Series 7 790cc which delivers more than 10,000 micro vibrations in just a minute. This allows it to capture and cut more hair with a single pass. It also incorporates several other technologies including a triple action cutting system and ActiveLift technology which work together with Braun's Pulsonic technology to provide a very close and comfortable shave.

Product FAQs    electric shavers for men

What's the difference between foil shavers and rotary shavers?
Rotary shavers are designed to work with cyclical movements; Braun foil shavers are designed to work with efficient sideways movements on the skin, giving perfect control and precision. The foils protect the skin from irritation and are specifically designed to deliver the most thorough and comfortable shave from Braun.
What are the differences among Braun Series 7 models?
A step up from the shaving technologies found in the 720s, the 760cc features the advanced Clean & Renew System from Braun.
The Clean & Renew System automatically cleans, charges, lubricates and dries your electric shaver. The leading shaver in the Series 7 line, the 790cc model, includes all of the technologies of the 760cc, but has the Fast Clean option and the most advanced display among Braun electric shavers. Its LCD display offers detailed updates on the status of the charging battery and the hygiene of the shaver itself. In addition, unlike the 720s and 760cc's black casing, the 790cc is packaged in an elegant Noble Metal color.
Why would I need a Clean & Renew  System when I can clean my Braun Series 7 shaver under tap water?    
It is more hygienic to do so.  And, at the touch of the button with your Clean & Renew system, your shaver is automatically cleaned, charged and lubricated for added convenience.
I already have a Clean & Renew System from my previous Braun electric shaver (Pulsonic or Synchro). Can I use it with the new Series 7 electric shaver?
No, the Braun Series 7 Clean & Renew System is the latest model from the Braun Clean & Renew™ line and can't be used with previous models.
How often do I need to exchange the Clean & Renew Refill Cartridge?
It is recommended that you change your Clean & Renew refill cartridge at least once every two months, or when the Clean & Renew system notifies you that the cleaning solution is ready to be changed.  This will vary depending on how often the system is in use.electric shavers for men
Do you have any recommendations for how to shave with an electric foil shaver?
We recommend that you shave before taking a shower. After a few days without shaving (for example, the first shave after the weekend) you should trim your stubble before you shave. Stretch the skin and shave against the direction of beard growth. Hold the shaver at a right angle (90°) to your skin. Maintain even pressure to achieve the most thorough and comfortable shave from Braun.
How often do I need to change the shaver head? electric shavers for men
We recommend replacing all cutter parts every 18 months. In order maintain optimal performance, we included a replacement part indicator in the display to ensure that you'll know when to exchange the cutter parts.
Does the battery have a memory effect, as can occur with cell phones or laptops?
No, the Braun Series 7 electric shavers for men use a Li-Ion battery that has no memory effect. You can recharge it whenever you want, and it has a low self-discharge rate (vs. NiMh batteries). Li-Ion batteries are the most powerful and longest-lasting batteries available for Braun electric shavers.

Product FAQS

Trimming vs. shaving
Trimming is the safest way to remove your body hair without the risk of nicks or cuts. Also, you may prefer to leave some areas neatly trimmed to a precise length while going for a clean shave in others - it's completely up to you!
Why do I need a special body groomer?
Well, you could also use an old-fashioned toolbox of clippers, scissors and tweezers, but the cruZer6 body offers all grooming functionalities in just one handy device and was especially designed for the specific demands of manscaping, featuring extra small trimming teeth and optimized ergonomics.
How exactly does the trim & shave combination mode work?
Essentially, the trimmer and razor are working together in one single stroke, with the trimmer first shortening the hair and the blade subsequently shaving off the remaining stubble.
How do I shave problem areas?
First trim your hair to a short length, then soak your skin to open the pores. Use tiny strokes and skin-care products to soothe the skin.
How do I clean the cruZer6 body?
First remove the trimming comb and brush it out. If you have used the cruZer6 body with shaving gel or foam, rinse it under hot, running water and shake it to remove excess water. Leave it to dry and apply a drop of light machine oil onto the trimmer on a weekly basis.
What blades can I use with the cruZer6 body?
The cruZer6 body works with standard Gillette Fusion blades but you can also use Gillette Fusion Pro-glide blades for an incredible shaving experience.
Should I really groom my body?
Well, ask your girlfriend!
