In the USSR, Crocodile published a curious feuilleton related to electric razors. Steel blade factory directors were caught by an ordinary machine user. Chinusha offered a choice of two products of the conveyor to the head of the company. What is it that cuts your cheeks or pulls hair? The number refers to the era of stagnation, when Soviet citizens fought for quality, electric razors were wired, nothing else. The machines rescued in combination with foamed laundry soap, slogans praising the gels, no one had heard. How to shave an electric razor? The question worries a person alien to the topic under discussion. Today it is allowed to use gels or foam, to drive the shaving head to the dry end( cruel case).
Properly shave with an electric razor.
. In the feature film The Lethal Weapon, police friends have developed, while talking, the topic of a regular shave:
- Mel Gibson argued: you need to move against hair growth.
- Danny Glover said the opposite.
The partners quarreled a little, the developing scenario stubbornly advanced the idea: the second variant is correct. If you take the Soviet machine, where the blade is inserted on the plate, sticks out on both sides, shaving against hair growth is more dangerous, but cleaner. You will cut yourself easily( allowing lateral sliding), the quality is excellent. If you drive in the opposite direction with a razor, the bristles with a sharp edge jerked, the shoots remained. The result was achieved, but more slowly. When shaving used foam, just a thin layer of soap. Delivered from infection, irritation, swelling.

Curiously, today, solving the problem, apply the foam or gel. Here is a brief description. Both compositions will prepare the skin, reduce friction, others reduce the strength of the hair. Electric razor shaving is more smooth as a result. Can formulations be used with a conventional machine? The answer is rather yes! The main thing - to reduce the force of friction, it will occur. Antibacterial compositions of gels impede the growth of microflora, soothe the skin. Modern electric shavers leave no cuts, the need for protection remains.
A curious observation will make use of Soviet technology. The USSR tried to live, professing the principle, Faster-Higher-Stronger, perhaps, therefore, the electric razors aimed at a qualitative result, which meant smooth skin. I didn’t care that irritation would start, a person would get hurt. The situation is different today. A small bristle is considered the optimal condition of the skin of the face. When shaving with an electric razor, small sprouts remain, this is normal. The result gives the majority of grid models.
Rotary shavers, on the contrary, make the skin clean. Even titanium, which prevents allergic reactions, does not completely eliminate redness. Immediately make a reservation, the little things are needed for people who are awarded sensitive skin, in all seriousness tormented by questions:
- Which electric shaver to choose.
- Which aftershave to prefer.
- Which gel moisturizes better and soothes the skin.
- In which direction it is customary to drive an electric razor.
Brutal men simply take and cleanse the face of the shoots as the need arises. By the way, such concepts for less annoyance are implemented by Gillette Slalom machines. They do not remove hair very cleanly in a single pass, but they shave off a long beard, which was more difficult for an ordinary Soviet machine to do. But even after many repetitions, the skin is a little irritated, but you can shave your own neck from behind using two mirrors. Try to make a rotary electric razor!
The nuances of shaving with electric shavers
In the world today there are two types of razors, there are two types of recommendations on how to use them correctly. Above discussed modern standards. Grid models most fully implement social concepts, are the most popular in the reports of statisticians. And now a little about the features.
Philips rotary type shaving shaver follows smooth circles. Gently move around the skin of the face. Cheeks allowed to inflate for better smoothing of the skin, chin bulge. Strive everywhere to get the minimum length of hair.
Panasonic should shave with a grid shaver in a different manner. Instead of rotating movements there will be progressive, up and down. Moving along the jawbone, it is necessary to clean the face. At the end of the procedure, electric shavers that allow wet shaving are washed with running water. The head, as a rule, comes unfastened. Wash the electric shaver first. Some( top) models are automatically cleaned in specially prepared containers according to the instruction manual.
Grid and rotary shavers Avoid pressing too hard against the skin. Most devices are equipped with good protection against accidental cutting of the skin. Excessive pressure will damage the epidermis. It is foolish to explain how to shave a Braun electric razor to a mature man, teenagers today are also quite self-confident. Faced with difficulty, be curious how an ordinary girl does. It is not easy for the weaker sex today, the requirements are no less stringent!
True, there are far more methods of cleaning foot bristles than varieties of electric razors. Here, depilatory creams, laser therapy especially resistant areas. What is curious, every bald man is endowed with a thick beard, can fully experience the new electric razor. That's where the joke of nature is. It’s another matter if you put the question in terms of how to shave better:
- If you tolerate time to smear the gel gently, take a machine.
- The matter happens in the car for work - an electric shaver of any type will help.
- Finally, both operations can be performed with a 2 in 1 dry and wet shaving device. And these electric shavers today are the absolute majority among models. Demand is also great.
Probably want to know which shavers are popular in the world today? Grid, only three brands:
- Panasonic.
- Philips.
- Braun.
If you look at the statistics of the 2013 M-Video store, at first glance we see a curious thing:
- Rowenta appeared among the leaders, Panasonic remained a couple of lines below.
We think that the fair sex is smiling knowingly: it has long been decided whether to use a machine or an electric razor. Statistics include women's and men's preferences, among the first Rowenta plays a significant role. This is reflected in the total figures. With regards to machine tools, it is hardly a big mistake to recommend Gillette. Better for a man not to be clean shaven. Adaptations give achieve the desired.
Electric shaver aids
A lot of reviews have been written about gels, foams. We recommend choosing according to needs. Someone recommends using hair conditioners, gels. Lotions are applied after. .. The peculiarity is outlined by the desire of excessive alcohol content to shock the skin to shock.
Much more interesting looks shave conditioner. The means filled in a special cartridge( for example, Nivea for Men).As shaving conditioner slowly stands out, washing out hairs, lubricating mechanism, acting favorably on the skin. Shaving a rotary electric razor with such a device is a pleasure. In addition to the natural flavor of limonene, they include:
- Isopropanol replaces medical alcohol. It is impossible to apply inside, serves as a poisonous substance, suppresses the activity of the nervous system. It is a cleaner that dissolves fats.
- Fragrance clogs unpleasant odors.
- Citral serves as an antiseptic, reduces irritation, flavor.
- Cationic Surfactants - detergents.
Air conditioning, as a rule, is highly flammable, when in contact with eyes, the organs of vision are washed with copious amounts of water. But the care of a razor is easier. Needless to say, you shouldn’t use air conditioning in a car; you have a chance to come to work as soiled. Do not smoke in the presence of a substance. We believe air conditioning is appropriate for the shower, bathroom.
Where to use the electric shaver
Most models of modern shavers are designed for use in the shower. The equipment is equipped with a waterproof case. It is recommended to wash the blade head with a water jet, the case fearlessly meets excess moisture. Avoid placing the device in a bucket, but within reason, nothing terrible will happen if you accidentally get a shower jet.
Before shaving with a razor with foam, the battery is well charged. The minimum time for one hygienic procedure is 5 minutes. Enough clean shave, then you can hold the device at the outlet longer. A typical full charge time is 60-90 minutes. Enough for 40–60 minutes of continuous work.
They told how to shave with an electric razor, read about the use of foam, gel on the package. The composition is applied with a thin even layer, gradually being brushed off with a smooth stroke of the head. After shaving a special lotion is used. It gives a pleasant aroma to the face, protects against cuts, in some cases reduces irritation. Others prefer the smell of alcohol, harsh, the substance itself dries the skin.
There is no limit to perfection: no matter how much you read about how to shave an electric razor properly, it will take hours of training to master the technique. The secret lies precisely in movement, the right force of depression. It is worth transferring, the blade cuts the skin. Damage invisible to the naked eye, irritation will soon let you know: the epithelium is damaged.
The main methods of shaving with an electric razor are understandable to most men without reading voluminous feature articles:
- . Movement is smooth, progressive, without jerking, sometimes circular.
- The razor stroke in the direction of hair growth.
- Cutting purity is regulated by pressing force.
- The speed of the electric shaver is extremely slow.
That's enough. Can I start, or need guidance, which cheek to shave first? Such a face care instruction will certainly cause a smile.
The nuances of using an electric shaver are completely different. First of all, there are two technologies - dry and wet, the abundance of skin care products will confound a seasoned cosmetologist.

Rotary electric shaver
When shaving
Experts say: you should ideally hold an electric razor with a fresh head in the morning( smiled) - do not laugh at this point. The skin rested at night, ready for the test procedure of getting rid of the bristles. In this case, cosmetologists unanimously declare: the optimal frequency of shaving is once every three days.
The listed conditions are ideal. In practice, there is a need for an evening out, a wife, a hundred reasons to put aside these two rules. One advice - to follow, if necessary - to break.
Dry or wet shave
Not every electric shaver is suitable for wet shaving. There are hybrid models for which the presence of a gel does not matter.
What is gel for? Doctors answer: prepares the skin for the upcoming procedure. Sliding electric shaver smoother. The process can be accelerated slightly without fear of damaging the skin.
In practice, it looks like this:
- The course of the electric shaver is really smooth.
- It is constantly required to rinse the work surface, therefore, it is not possible to perform the procedure dressed. Water drips down, flies, rolls over hands.
- Shaving in the room in front of the mirror of the second half will not work because there is no tap with water.
- After the procedure, thoroughly blot the skin with a towel.
Despite the seemingly significant number of inconveniences, the main thing is the need for special conditions for wet shaving. The crane is not always at hand. Shaving with an electric razor cannot provide smoothness and a feeling of complete security.
Not every model is suitable for wet shaving. Rotary shavers are not suitable for use. Feeling inconsistent, most large manufacturers design, launch hybrid models on the market. Wet shaving with an electric razor can be combined with a dry razor, you can choose what you like more.
A lot of videos were released, a swarm of forums and thematic notes promoting skin care were created. It comes to curious experiments, the face is divided into two parts by the nose line, each shaved by its own method. No way wins absolute victory, people with sensitive skin are recommended to use gels. Wet shaving with an electric razor is considered a more benign procedure.
In defense of the dry method, a simple fact says: with a hard time limit, it is allowed to clean the face of bristles without preparation. You can shave your electric razor anywhere, get up to necessity. Driving a traffic jam, dear to work. Irritation will be maximized, fast movements do not contribute to the preservation of healthy skin, but better than not shaving.
To the stated theses, the conclusion suggests itself: in a calm atmosphere, applying the gel will certainly provide the face with smooth healthy skin. The dry method is good:
- expensive, in vehicles;
- at the train station;
- with a hard time limit.
Winners get hybrid models( Panasonic), equipped with capacious batteries. The electric shaver allows you to remove the bristles in any conditions. Even if the gel is smeared on one half of the face!
How to shave
Before shaving, your face is cleansed. The rule is observed in the morning and in the evening, with dry and wet methods, in any situation.
Moisturizing
People with sensitive skin are recommended to moisturize their cheeks. Naturally causes swelling of the hair follicle, providing a strong fixation. Hard bristles are easier to cut. The dry method is not a contraindication for this procedure.
How to moisturize. The most obvious way - to hold the face for 2-3 minutes under a stream of warm water - may seem uneconomical, tedious. It is recommended to replace the stream with a wet towel of a suitable temperature.
Suppose the need to cleanly shaved caught expensive. Find a pair of sanitary wet wipes, use. Ideally, you need to carry lotion.
Gel
The use of an electric shaver for wet shaving is combined with the application of a special gel that protects the skin from damage, improves gliding. For example, Gillette Series. The tool does not cause allergic reactions, for this reason, especially recommended for sensitive skin. Choose formulations where among the ingredients there are aloe, chamomile, vitamins A, E. Silicone additives further improve the slip of the electric shaver. The inclusion of the composition of vitamins of group B has a beneficial effect on the healing of scratches.
Foam According to laboratory reports, shaving foam is not the best solution. Replaces the gel as intended, but studies prove: it is impossible to name equivalent compositions. Foam is powerless to narrow pores, lift hairs. There is no tonic effect. The gel looks perfect, the skin after shaving is smooth and healthy.
At least the results are reported by experts. It is worth thinking twice before shaving the electric razor with foam.
Cream
Smoothly shaved face is smeared with cream, lotion. Alcohol-based compositions are suitable for normal and oily skin, it is better to cover a sensitive face with a moisturizing, emollient( L'Oreal Men Expert).Peppermint extract is traditionally used to relieve hurt injuries and has a vasoconstrictive effect. Being a part of a balm for shaving, soothes, tones the skin. There is no alcohol among the ingredients, allowing to recommend the product to people with hypersensitivity of the skin.
By the way, the gels of the series possess the fully indicated property, they are good for the problem face. Using the L`Oreal line in the shaving process will completely eliminate problems.
Folk Aftershave
It is not always necessary to flee to buy shaving lotion with an electric razor. Especially expensive. Not that our grandfathers and grandmothers were puzzled by the problems of irritating the face after shaving, but a couple of tips are stocked up with a piggy bank. Advise Channel One:
- Cucumber - the favorite means of female masks. Available, useful to eat a salad or something stronger. The flesh, the rind are rubbed, crushed by an affordable method. The resulting gruel is wrapped with gauze, napkin, handkerchief. Compress covers the area feeling the irritation. Avoid using. .. pickles.
- Aloe helps to heal complex wounds, simple abrasions, scratches received by fighters with bristles, heal with juice, plant pulp. The sheet is cut along, the inside of the problem area is rubbed. Severe irritation after using an electric razor is removed by aloe gruel.10-15 drops of lemon juice, egg white completes the composition. The mixture is covered with an area damaged by an electric razor for 3-5 minutes. Unpleasant, but effective. The frozen composition is washed off with warm water.

Head
Hair, shaved at zero, is not encouraged among civil servants. In the summer, you must protect your head from the sun, in the winter - from the cold. The only plus is limited by the ease of hygiene, hair should be shaved. Often the bald head is greeted by people who are gifted with bald spots in nature.
Short haircut noticeably activates growth processes. Bald head becomes barbed, loses its presentable appearance every week, even more often. Shaving your head with an electric razor is unpleasant, but acceptable. There are special hairdressing machines that are inexpensive, performing work much faster.
Another thing is to trim the whiskey, sideburns - there are special devices, called trimmers. Some electric shavers with this feature will allow you to easily trim your mustache. Trimmed models are an obvious choice for bearded men.
