Electric Razors & Electric Shavers – CVS Pharmacy

Finding the best electric razor for you depends on your needs. Electric razors with a foil blade are best for guys who shave every day – they handle short hair well and the foil grid keeps the blades away from your skin, which can help cut down on shaving-related irritation. For men who often switch between bearded and clean-shaven looks, rotary shavers are the better option since they can handle long, thick facial hair. There is a third option for guys who are not looking for a close shave, but rather just a quick and easy way to keep their facial hair short and neat. If that’s what you’re after, look for a beard trimmer, which is specifically designed to handle coarse, longer facial hair. Trimmers also have the added benefit of different length settings, so you can customize the exact dimensions of your facial hair with ease.

CVS carries a wide variety of mens electric shavers, but we know that selecting the best option for you can be challenging. That’s why we’ve put together this helpful guide of features to look for!

• Wet/dry shaving. While the main benefit of mens electric razors is the ability to shave dry, some guys may still prefer to shave in the shower or with shaving cream or gel. This is especially useful for men with acne or skin that is easily irritated. However, do be cautious and read labels carefully, as not all wet/dry shavers allow you to use shaving cream. If the option to shave wet as well as dry is important to you, look for an electric razor that offers both. The Philips Norelco 5110 Wet and Dry Shaver may be a good model for you to try.

• Power source. Do you travel frequently? A battery-powered electric razor may be the right choice for you. However, if you plan to shave frequently, a rechargeable model may be a better option, since a charge will usually last longer while still giving you ease of movement. Some models feature a cord, but try to look for one that is removable so that it doesn’t get in the way while you shave.

• Ergonomics. You want to make sure the electric razor is comfortable for you to hold in your hand, and that you can get a good grip. You don’t want it to slip while in the middle of shaving! You should also make sure the size and heft of the device works well for you; it should be comfortable to maneuver around all the angles of your face.

• Cleaning. Different electric shavers can be either easier or harder to clean. Generally, foil shavers are easier to clean than rotary shavers, but each model is different. Some shavers even come with a self-cleaning function. No matter which you choose, be sure that the cleaning requirements are feasible for you. It’s important to clean your electric shaver after each use to maintain the hygiene of your device.

No matter which product you choose, remember that the best electric shaver is the one that gives you a quick, comfortable, and convenient shave that looks and feels great!
