On the other hand, there are different kinds of electric razors on the market and people can easily find the right device that works best for their shaving needs. However, electric-shavers have both advantages and disadvantages but the fact is that the Pros outweigh the cons and listed below;

 

Advantages Of Electric Razor:

  1. Electric-shaver a very convenient: One of the main reasons as to why men prefer using electric-shavers is that they are very convenient to use whereby you don’t need to prep or lather your beards to use an electric-shaver. In fact, you will just have to grab an electric-shaver and begin shaving right away and afterwards you can simply place it into an automatic cleaning and charging station.

 

  1. Electric-razors are much faster: electric razors are far faster than manual-razors when it comes to shaving-time. In fact, electric-shaver are equipped with motor powered blades that can cut through hair at a fast pace and you can actually complete shaving your entire face under 5-minutes.

 

  1. They are very comfortable to use on sensitive-skin: When shaving with an electric-razor, you can achieve optimum comfort with minimized skin-irritations like; nicks and cuts. So, if you’re a type of person with a very sensitive-skin that is prone to irritations like; razor-burns, ingrown-hairs and bumps, then using an electric-razor will help achieve a more comfortable shaving experience.

 

  1. Electric-shavers don’t require shaving-products: with manual-razors, you will need shaving-products like; a brush, shaving cream or gel and a lot more. However, with electric-shavers you won’t need any of these shaving-products and you just need to shave right away thus saving you a lot of time.

 

  1. They can be used for wet-shaving and dry-shaving: Today, most advanced electric-shavers are waterproof and can be used under wet-conditions with shaving-cream in order to achieve a more comfortable shave or under dry-conditions to achieve a faster and more convenient shaving-experience.

 

  1. Electric-razors are cheaper and easier to maintain: Buying a good electric-shaver can be costly but it’s actually cheaper than buying manual-razor cartridges every week. In fact, an electric-razor can operate for over 2-years before requiring blade-replacements and up-to 5-years before acquiring a new shaver thus saving you a lot of money on shaving-products during that period.

 

  1. They are very versatile: electric-razors can actually be used for different shaving purposes like; sculpting/shaping sideburns, moustaches and chin-hair, trimming nose and ear hairs, trimming hairs on legs, arms and back and a lot more.

 

  1. They portable to carry when travelling: With manual-razors, you will need to carry a whole kit of shaving-products when traveling but with an electric-shaver you just need it alone as long as its battery is fully-charged or when the plug is available. Additionally, with an electric-shaver you can shave from anywhere because you don’t need to apply shaving-products in-order to use an electric-shaver.

 

Disadvantages Of Electric Razors:

  • Electric-razors don’t shave as close as manual-razors: Even with high-end electric shavers, you won’t be able to get closer shave like that of manual-razors. However, getting a more comfortable shaving-experience for a slightly less close shave is acceptable for most men. In fact, closer shaves tend to be uncomfortable because they cause several skin-irritations that can be painful after shaving.

 

  • The skin takes time to adapt to electric-shavers: The first time you will be using an electric-razor, you will get disappointed by the results. However, it’s recommended to allow your skin to adapt to an electric-razor for about 3-weeks before making a final decision.

 

  • It’s hard to get used to using an electric-razor: The learning-curve of an electric-razor is much higher than that of a simple safety razor or disposable razor. In fact, it takes practice to get used to electric-razors and with time you will get better. Additionally, electric-razors will tend to cause razor-burns or rashes until your skin gets used to them.

 

  • The purchasing-price and maintenance are higher compared to manual-razors: High-end electric shavers are expensive and even their replacement parts and cleaning cartridges can be costly compared manual-razor parts. However, you don’t need a top-notch electric razor to achieve a great shave and that’s why you will need to get an electric-razor that fits your budget and meets your shaving-needs.

 

  • They need power to operate: If an electric-razor loses battery-power or when it’s not plugged into a power-supply, it won’t work thus making manual-razors a better choice for use in regions without power-supply. However, some high-end electric-shavers can operate for a few days without a charge.

 

  • They can be hard to clean if they don’t come with a cleaning-system: A cheaper electric-razor model without a cleaning-station can actually be very hard o clean whereby it will consume a lot of your time compared to cleaning a manual-razor.
