Pros and Cons of Electric Razors

PRO:

- Electric razors tend to shave hair away faster than manual razors. Because they roll up the skin, forcing hairs up before cutting them, men don�t need to go over the same area as many times.

- Although they are heavier than manual razors, they are often more portable, since they can be used anywhere there is an electrical source.

- Electric razors do not require special grooming items such as shaving cream, soap, gels or even water.

- They are more versatile in that they can be used to accurately shave facial hair, beards, mustaches, and sideburns.

- Shaving with an electric razor could reduce nicks, cuts and ingrown hairs.

CON:

- Electric razors do not shave as closely as manual razors, so you may not get a super-smooth finish and you may have to shave more frequently if you have normal-to-heavy facial hair.

- Many men find that using an electrical razor takes practice. Although this type of shaving is considered "safer" than manual shaving, it can still be painful and lead to irritation.

- Although some new models allow electric razors to be used in wet conditions, the majority cannot be used in the shower. Electric razors also tend to be pretty loud.

- They require rechargeable batteries or an electrical outlet. If not properly charged, electrical razors can die in the middle of a shave.

- Electric razors need more attention when it comes to maintenance and cleaning.

- Their initial purchase and upkeep are usually more expensive than other forms of shaving, although a quality, long-lasting electric razor can actually save men money over their lifetime.
