Through the act of shaving, unwanted body hair can be removed with the use of bladed tools called razors. Razors have been part of the everyday life of individuals throughout the centuries. They have come in various appearances yet are similar in use to modern straight razors. In the prehistoric times, razors came in the form of clam shells, shark's teeth, and flint while solid gold and copper razors where found in tombs dating back to the 4th millennium BC. In today's generation, though, various forms of shavers are straight razors, disposable blade straight razors, safety razors, and electric shavers.
Especially for men, shavers are a handy thing to have around for personal hygiene as well as grooming reasons. As such, one must have a razor that is not necessarily perfect-as there is no perfect shaver-but is one that one finds most comfortable using. Nevertheless, what other factors should one consider in selecting the best razor? These considerations are the following: price, electric or traditional, wet or dry.
A product's price is always a consideration in most purchase decisions as most of us have what we call budget constraint. For razors, prices can be extremely high or particularly low depending on the type you select. As low as $25.00 for an 8-piece pack, for example, can be charged for manual razors while electric shavers, especially those with higher qualities are priced $200 and more. Nevertheless, one must keep in mind that it does not always follow that a more expensive razor would fit everyone's need as much a less expensive razor would provide lesser shave quality.
Another factor to be considered in the selection of an electric shaver is whether the razor would be an electric or a traditional one. An electric shaver would be best for those with sensitive skins as these types of shavers can effectively and efficiently create a close shave without the necessity of lubricants like shaving cream or soap. On the other hand, traditional razors are best used by those with long beards as these types are constructed with a straightforward design. Moreover, they are much lighter which would be best for those who often travel. However, shaving with the use of traditional razors may require more time as shaving creams and aftershaves need to be applied before and after the use of these shavers.
Shavers can also be wet, dry, or both. Wet shavers require water or some other sort of liquid and shaving gel before application, while dry shavers can work without those. Nevertheless, there also are those that can be used in either way. Both manual and electric shavers come in models that are wet, dry, as well as both wet and dry shavers.
Electric shavers come in various forms as well as from various manufacturers. As such, the decision in choosing the best shaver, whether it is cost effective or not, an electric shaver or a manual one, etc., may be tedious. Nevertheless, as aforementioned, one should keep in mind that what is best for him/her would be the razor he/she would be comfortable using. Moreover, just like any other gadget and tool we have, shavers-once you have decided which one to get-need to be taken care of and cleaned regularly.
