Electric Shavers - Pros and Cons

For every man that shaves his beard sooner or later comes a question which to choose, regular razor blade or electric shavers? Of course each one of those has its advantages and disadvantages. We are going to go over a few of those in order to establish which might be better for regular use, but I think that it is almost impossible to come to a concrete answer because every man has different needs.

What does every man want when shaving his beard? Regular answers would be a clean cut, smooth surface and no irritation. Well we have all that covered with razor blades and with new high tech shavers. Technology has advanced in all fields, the proofs of that are also new models of shavers and trimmers which give us results that we could only get by a razor blade. A classical razor like Gillette Mach 3 or any newer model of razors gives you a clean cut which covers more surface than a regular razor blade. That helps you save time with your shaving and also causes less irritation due to lower number of strokes needed to shave your chin. But there is always a chance of cutting yourself, and we all know how difficult those cuts can be. Now every commercial will show that new models of razor blades guarantee no cuts, but those blades dull over time and sooner or later we are going to cut ourselves. But if you change the blades often you will probably avoid that. But that leaves razor blades to a great disadvantage over electric shavers, not just that it is almost impossible to cut yourself with an shaver but when you calculate your expenses in the long run it's quite cheaper to buy an electric shaver that will last for years, than maintaining your razor blade and buying new blades twice a month.

While some of the electric shavers can't deliver the same results like a regular razor blade, new technology shavers can, and they have a lot of other features that make them better. New model electric shavers like Braun Pulsonic 760cc offer a clean shave with just a minute of shaving. You can get the same result in just a minute that you could get with regular razor blade in 5. Aside from that new electric shaver have trimmers, shapers, they are easy to use, and most of them are cordless and rechargeable so you can take them anywhere. They are also easy to clean and waterproof, what makes them tempting is the lifelong warranty you get when you buy one. That should say something about the quality of those electric shavers.

Well it all comes down to your needs and habits. For a guy that used to get up in the morning and rush to work electric shaver are the best option. But for some other guys that prefer the old style nothing can compare to a good old razor blade. But we can say for certain that new electric shavers offer the same quality of shaving and a lot of other features, Which makes them more tempting to buy.
