Shaving is the removal of unwanted hair by using a bladed equipment or a razor to trim it down to the level of skin. Some of the areas in which shaving is done is the face, underarm and legs, a common practice between ladies and gents. Men shave facial hair while women shave their legs and underarm. Head shaving is complete removal of hair from the head. There are two types of shaving that is wet shaving and dry shaving in which dry shaving uses an electric razor. Dry shaving involves a set of oscillating or rotating blades which are held behind a perforated metal screen.
The designs of an electric razor is different but function the same. The blades in some of the electric razors are the the rotating cylinders while in others they are more set of rotating blades. When it comes to choosing a shaving razor then research is important. The edge of the razor is the first consideration when it comes to choosing razor.
Single edges and the double edged razors are the types of razors individuals can choose from. Traditional, thicker and more aggressive when shaving are the features of single edge razors. However due to advances in the market, single edge razors have been out dated. Not only does a double edge razor enables flexibility but also reduces the shaving time.
Price is a consideration when choosing the right razor blade for you. An individual’s budget should influence the type of razor to be bought. Price factor doesn’t mean that you choose a razor blade that is cheap as it doesn’t guarantee safety. While checking on the functionality, individuals should buy razors that are fairly priced. As a consideration in choosing the right razor, the razor head needs to be considered.
There are two types of razor heads the stable and an adjustable razor head in which choosing one means its safety is top level. Placing of the razor at different angles allows for individuals to do different shaves by using an adjustable razor head. Much priority should be given to a razor headlock the same as the razor head.
Checking of the razor headlock is basically paying attention to the gaps to ensure that they are symmetrical across the lengths of the razor. When the razor headlock is symmetrically across then the blades are well balanced. Comfortable holding needs to be ensured while shaving by the razor handle as the other factor of consideration.
Holding of the razor handle comfortably then the following features are the main influencers; that is the length, weight and material. The length of the handle will be influenced mostly by the size of hand. The materials used for the handle should wither be rough or have a rubber cover surrounding it.
