The origin of electric shavers

1. Who invented the first razor in the world?

Before learning about razors, order an appetizer and see what the history of razors is like. How did the ancients deal with the problem of beards in ancient times when there was no razor? Is it raw?

In fact, the ancients were also very wise. In ancient Egypt, people at that time would use stones, flints, shells or other sharp tools to shave, and then slowly evolve into bronze ware, but the disadvantage is that it is not safe enough.

-In 1895, Gillette invented the old-fashioned razor that shaves less safely

-In 1902, the founder of Gillette Company – Kim Camp Gillette invented the “T”-shaped double-edged safety razor

-In 1928, Hick, an American veteran, invented the electric shaver, which cost $25

-In 1960, the American Remington Company made the first dry battery razor.

2. What are the current mainstream razor brands?

Panasonic, Braun and Philips can be regarded as the top three manufacturers of electric shavers in the world. Since Panasonic and Braun only make reciprocating shavers, people often see the products of these two brands and are often compared.

3. How to distinguish the quality of electric shavers?

The origin of electric shavers

Let’s take a look at how electric shavers work:

1: The electric shaver is close to the chin

2: Beard enters the knife net

3: The motor drives the blade

4: Cut off the beard entering the knife net to complete the shave. Therefore, an electric shaver can be called a good electric shaver with the following two points.

1. At the same time, more beards enter the knife net, and the beards go deeper, that is, clean area and clean depth

2. The beard that enters the knife net can be quickly cut into sections, that is, speed and comfort

Fourth, how to choose a razor

As a man with too strong androgen, my beard grows too fast, which has always been a problem for me. Shaving every morning is a must-have option like brushing your teeth. On major occasions at work, you need to shave again in the afternoon, otherwise stubble will appear sloppy. I have started shaving career since junior high school. I have used manual, reciprocating and rotary shavers. In addition, I use it every day. I also have some experience in purchasing shavers.

1. Manual VS Electric

Compared with electric shavers, manual shavers have advantages in price, weight, noise, and cleanliness. The first time I shave was with my dad’s cheap electric shaver, but I never got a clean stubble. Later, I solved the trouble of stubble with a manual shaver.

But manual shavers also have a number of drawbacks that made me gradually give up on them.

1. Wet scraping.

The most serious disadvantage is that it needs to be used with shaving foam and can only be used for wet shaving. Dry it after each use.

2. Risk of reverse scraping.

Manual razors are limited to structural defects. It is too difficult to shave straight, and basically only reverse shaving, and reverse shaving is easy to cut the skin. Which boy has not been cut and bleed by a manual razor?

The electric shaver has the advantages of being easy to carry, easy to operate, dry shaving, and shaving at any time, which just makes up for the shortcomings of manual shavers and gradually occupies the mainstream of the consumer market.

2. Reciprocating VS Rotating

Electric shavers are generally divided into two schools, one is the reciprocating type, in short, the cutter head vibrates horizontally. The other is the rotary type, where the blades rotate like the blades of an electric fan for shaving.

Compared with the rotary type, the reciprocating type has the following advantages.

1. The shaving effect is cleaner. The reciprocating outer knife net is thinner, has more power, and has a better shaving effect.

2. Higher shaving efficiency. There is no fancy appearance, the effective shaving area is larger, generally 3 blades are located at the top, middle and bottom, and the shaving speed is also faster.
