Posted by: Steve on October 20, 2011 Under: Uncategorized |

When it comes to buying an electric shaver, there are a few things you absolutely must look for in order to secure yourself the best electric shaver. Here are 5 of them

#1 – Brand

While generic brands can be less expensive, quality brands are much better. Top brands such as Braun,  and Philips Norelco give you a closer, more comfortable shave than the generic brands. They also tend to last longer which means you won’t have to replace it as quickly as other brands.

On top of that, you can also find very affordable models of some of the top brands. If money is an issue, you can also opt for a model that has fewer features.

#2 – A Minimum 30 Day Trial Period

It takes your face at least 30 days to adjust to a new shaver. Only after that time can you truly determine If a shaver is working for you. That’s why it is vital that the shaver you choose has at minimum a 30 day money back guarantee. If at all possible, try to get a 60 day trial period.

#3 – A Quick Charge Option

While most shavers come with all sorts of fancy features, the one you really want is a quick charge option. Quick charge allows you to quickly charge your shaver if you forgot to charge it overnight. With quick charge you don’t have to wait the normal 8 hours it takes to fully charge the shaver.

#4 – Wet/Dry Capabilities

Being able to shave when your face is wet or dry is a very important feature to have. Some men like to shave in the shower and some like to shave over the sink. No matter what your preference, with wet dry capabilities you can shave wherever you like.

#5 – Comfortable Hand Grip

There is nothing worse then an electric shaver that is uncomfortable to hold. It can make shaving a task you would rather not do. So when looking for an electric shaver, make sure a comfortable hand grip is one of the features.

When it boils down to it, all men are different and will therefore prefer a different shaver. You have to figure out which one will work best for you. Just know that things such as LCD display have nothing to do with the performance of the shaver.

So instead of looking for the snazzy features, look for features that have a positive impact on the performance of the shaver.
