It is a fact that having a neatly shaved face will not only make you look much better but is also a lot better for your skin. A neatly shaved face is more attractive to woman and is also important when meeting business clients. You only get one chance to make a good first impression and a face that has been roughly shaved suggests lack of care and general sloppiness.

It is vital then that you choose an electric razor which is right for you – you want the best electric shaver. This can sometimes be a daunting task however as there are a huge array of electric shavers on the market. To make this task easier for you we have put together four great tips for choosing an electric shaver.

Question One:  Cordless or Not Cordless?

To be or not to be maybe the most important question that a man can ask himself. But a close second must be to go cordless or not cordless Both have their advantages and their disadvantages. A cordless electric razor can be great from the point of view of ease of use. You can move it around the bathroom and you don’t have to worry about it coming unplugged at in opportune moments.

Many men also find a corded electric razor to get in the way. Also you may not be able to find a power point that is close to the area where you will be shaving. On the other hand if you purchase a rechargeable cordless razor you may wish to make sure that it has an attachable lead. There is nothing worse than finding out that your electric razor is flat and you are unable to shave before an important meeting.

Question Two: Rotary or Foil?

You will need to choose between either a rotary shaver or a foil shaver. A foil shaver has its cutting surface contained beneath a protecting foil screen. A rotary shaver uses a circular motion in order to cut. Personally I would say that the rotary electric shaver gives a more pleasant and close shave. However there are good shavers for both types and it really is up to you to find out what its right for you.

Question Three: How Much to Spend?

Don’t just buy the cheapest electric shaver available. There is a large range in prices for electric shavers. And even though an expensive shaver is not necessarily better than a more moderately priced one you still want to be wary of buying a budget electric razor. An electric razor is something that you will be using every day.

Purchasing a cheap razor is usually an illusory saving as often these budget brands are so ineffective as to make the electric razor near on useless. Not only this cheaper electric razors will often burn the skin. Make sure to check with a good online consumer comparison site before making your purchasing decision.

One Final Thing: Make sure that you careful read and understand the warranty. And also make sure that you will be able to find replacement blades for the razor. You don’t want to have to purchase a brand new electric shaver next time you need to replace the blade or if it quickly breaks down after you buy it.
