Best Electric Shaver For Men in 2013
Why Men Should Buy A Good Quality Electric Razor?
In North by North West, some guy may have been able to get away by using a tiny womenâs razor to get a clean shave, but men these days want to shave with whatâs more on the cutting edge. Fancy electric shavers guarantee style, comfort and convenience, letting you shave without the hassle of dealing with lather and water.
As compared to regular razors, electric razors provide better solutions, especially for sensitive skins (say good-bye to red spots and cuts). Thatâs not it! The real kick off is that, with this type of razor, thereâs no worrying about being near a sink when you can travel with it, or if you like a mid-day touch-up at work. Check out the reviews of best electric shavers in 2013 below and buy the one which suits you the most.
Why Not Wet Shave?
Many men prefer electric shave over a wet shave usually because it is time-saving, mess free and considerably less likely to end in a bloodbath.
Braun Series 7 - 790cc Pulsonic Shaver System
Very similar to Braun 760 cc, with an added quick clean feature and somewhat different battery display, the Braun 790 cc comes with an electric razor itself, one month supply of the Braun clean and renew liquid, a travelling case, cleaning brush, manual of instructions, an electrical cord and of course the charging base & cleaning station.
The average sized Braun 790 cc has a nice high-tech design, fits really well in the hand. Braun's Pulsonic technology can be found at the head of the razor, which makes shaving much easier, providing 10,000 micro vibrations per minute and allowing you to get a very close shave and preventing tugging or pulling. A very sleek feature of this shaver lets the head of the shaver to pivot back and forth (good for shaving around the neck and chin area). It does come with a pop-up trimmer, which could be helpful in trimming down your moustache for example. On the bottom, you can see a display for the battery and hygiene level.
Most men would be a big fan of Braun 790 cc's clean and renew system, which is pretty handy; every time you finish the shave, install the clean and renew into the base station (which is pretty easy), put your shaver in the base, it's going to clean it, sterilize it, charge it and you're ready for your next shave.
In case you're travelling, and you don't have the base station on you or if you don't want to conserve the clean and renew liquid, you can clip off the foil (at the top of the shaver), use the brush to remove any hair that's in there and clip it on again. Otherwise you can put the shaver under running water, and let dry afterwards - that'd work too. The electrical cord can be used directly with the shaver; you don't have to travel with base station all the time.
