Before determining what type of razor we need, it is important to know our needs and the characteristics of our skin.

Do I have sensitive skin ? With what can I shave my face? Should I use the same type of razor for underarms, legs and jersey ? So many questions that can affect the model of razor for which we will opt.

Electric shaver: the anti-cut shave

An electric razor is equipped with a grid, charged with catching the hairs, and movable blades, which cut them on the surface.

It allows a clean shave, precise and guaranteed without pain on the legs and the jersey.

And for those who shave their faces ( eyebrows , mustache), there are now models adapted to this fragile area.

Another advantage: the blade is not in direct contact with the skin, it is protected from possible cuts.

In addition, it does not require the use of water or a shaving product and offers about 2 weeks of tranquility.

Maintenance level, we clean the blades with a small brush after use and we think to disinfect them from time to time.

Namely: blades and grilles should be changed about every two years.

Mechanical shaver: the ideal shaving method for the presses

It is the most convenient and fast shaving tool to use on the legs and underarms.

Particularly suitable for sensitive skin, it requires the use of a gel or a shaving foam to not irritate the epidermis. This razor with exposed blades usually has integrated lubricating strips to facilitate shaving at each pass and do not dry the skin.

As it only cuts the hairs on the surface, the regrowth is therefore quite fast (between 2 and 4 days).

Maintenance side, we change the blades (or we throw it) after about ten uses.

We also pay attention to cuts, which can be frequent if it is misused.

Finally, it is avoided to use on the face and for the shirt: the hairs may repel more thick, faster and more numerous.
