A razor is a power tool specifically designed to trim and shave facial hair. It usually consists of a blade, an electric drive system, and an housing. The razor's blades are designed to provide a comfortable, compact shaving experience, and the different models of shavers are suitable for both wet and dry use, making them an essential tool for the modern man's daily care!
However, some razors on the market have the problem of uneven materials and differences. Some emerging brands cater to the market for the appearance and portability of the product optimization, ignoring the improvement of performance, may use low-quality materials, resulting in unsatisfactory product performance and service life, while well-known big-name manufacturers in pursuit of higher profits, lack of investment in product innovation, monopoly market technology is slightly backward, making it difficult to choose. Of course, there are also some professional technical flow brands that focus on the tuning of product speed performance, stability and fit, so that the product has good performance, good use and comfortable skin.
Is it so difficult to choose a good product? We have purchased 10 well-known shavers at our own expense for shaver evaluation, with razor recommendations, teaching you dry razor knowledge points, and teaching you how to choose a comfortable and clean shaver that suits you!
Part1: Razor recommends good things
Before the assessment, let's answer some common questions for novices.
Which is the most important thing, such as appearance, brand, performance, comfort, etc.?
Performance, comfort. Looks and brand don't really help people choose the right product for them, and a good shaver design often has an efficient and smooth shaving performance, ensuring that facial hair can be shad quickly and cleanly, while also avoiding unnecessary irritation and discomfort, so that we can have a better comfortable shaving experience.
What ** segment is appropriate?
If you're looking for a professional brand in between**, you can choose a professional brand with advanced shaving technology and a comfortable design, while combining performance and quality to provide an effective shave (but try to avoid portable models). The razor above this price does not guarantee that the product is better, and it may also be a brand premium, and the product below this price not only has no technical support, but also may be scratched due to the poor quality of the product, resulting in redness, which will affect health for a long time.
Are manual shavers necessarily better than electric shavers?
Manual shavers and electric shavers have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice depends on the user's personal habits and needs. Manual shavers may be more flexible in terms of fine shaving and styling, and are suitable for users who prefer the traditional shaving ritual, but people who do not have a certain level of proficiency are very prone to scratching and take longer. However, the convenience and efficiency of electric shavers make them more suitable for busy modern life, especially for users who want an easy and fast shave, and many professional electric shavers can achieve comparable results to manual shavers. Therefore, it is not simply assumed that a manual shaver is necessarily better than an electric shaver, and the choice depends on personal preference and different pursuits of the shaving experience.
Shaver recommendation : Mino Max
Speed: 13000 rpm
**: 399 yuan
Imported blades: Yes
Pure copper motor: Yes
At present, the shaver market is monopolized by international brands, resulting in serious performance castration, and some emerging brands only pursue appearance and portability, resulting in weak performance, frequent skin jamming, pulling pain, and unclean shaves! The extreme sports brand a**iee has emerged at this time, designed for people with fever sports, and the brand's "unconventional" fever sports concept and performance are loved and recommended by professional athletes and extreme sports enthusiasts。This Weiye MAX has achieved the strongest fever performance within 1,000 yuanRare to be able to compete with a manual razorThe actual shaving residue rate of this shaving is less than 004%, the fit has been improved by 973%, fully compatible with 36 face shapes, 24 kinds of beard hardness and density, and almost 100% does not hurt the skin, does not clamp the beard, and is not sensitive, which can be said to be the strongest compatibility within 1,000 yuan!
Mino, who never advertises, can rely on the feverish properties of its productsIt is highly recommended by many athletes and authoritative leaders, including CBA player Zhang Bin, world gymnastics champion Tao Xu, etc., and it is rare to be recommended by CCTV exhibitions, which is worthy of being known as the performance ceiling within 1,000 yuan！He has provided technical solutions for sports body care equipment for a large number of sports care institutions and brands around the worldFocus on fever performance, do not engage in redundant functions, abandon redundant functions, and have been developing products for many yearsOptimize more than 100 performance details to reach the performance ceiling!

In addition, Weiye's original plush comfort circle technology reduces 76% of the friction during shaving, effectively solves the problems of skin jamming, redness, and skin sensitivity, and sensitive skin can also be used with confidence.
Shaver recommendation: Braun 5 Series Pro
Speed: 6000-9000 rpm min
**: 599 yuan
Imported blades: Yes
Pure copper motor: No
Braun 5 series Pro adopts a reciprocating design, with a one-way flush valve, easy to flush, and with fast forward and ordinary shaving dual mode, and has an LED display, which can display the gear, switch at will, and the cleanliness is still good! But the fly in the ointment is that although it supports 5 minutes of flash charging, the battery life is average, it can only be used for 50min when fully charged, and the noise becomes louder and louder after a long time, the reciprocating blade has great friction, the product has a strong sense of vibration, and it is easy to reddene and bleed after shaving.
Shaver recommendation : Philips S5166
Rotational speed: customer service has not been informed.
**: 399 yuan
Imported blades: Yes
Pure copper motor: No
It adopts a rotating design, the cutter head can be rotated 360°, which can be more flexible to fit the surface of the skin, and can be washed with the whole body, can do dry and wet double shaving, one key to pop open the upper cover, rinsing is more convenient, fast and clean. But when we used it, we found that it only has a double-layer floating design, the fit is not good enough, the shaving efficiency is not high enough, and the anti-attenuation design of the product is not good enough, and the performance is significantly reduced after a period of use. Not only that, but the 5-minute flash charge fast charge it is equipped with is not so good, the product needs to be charged frequently, and the battery life will become shorter and shorter after long-term use, and the beard at the tip of the chin is not clean, which needs to be considered.
Part2: Dry knowledge of razors
Knowledge point 1: razor purchase skills
Brand technical strength:When choosing a razor, the technical strength of the brand is a crucial consideration. It is recommended to choose a shaver from a professional brand that focuses on quality and technological innovationShaving cutting efficiency, beard residue rate, dynamic resistance attenuation, **fit, compatibility of different beard hardness densities, skin jamming rate, **sensitivityand other technical adjustments to provide a more comfortable and efficient shaving experience. And try to avoid buying emerging brands that cater to the market to make portable products, such brands usually use poor quality materials on the blade knife net, and the beard will be stuck when used, and the friction of the blade is also large, and it is easy to reddene and bleed after use.
Blade Knife Net Selection:When it comes to choosing a razor, the choice of blade and mesh is crucial. A good razor is usually employedStainless steel material imported from abroadThe imported steel is paired with a well-made blade and mesh design to ensure a smooth and efficient shaving process, achieving a lower shaving residue rate. On the contrary, the blade is made of domestic ordinary stainless steel, and its hardness and corrosion resistance are far inferior to imported steel blades, which will cause the blade to rust and become dull for a long time, resulting in poor shaving and cutting efficiency, which will cause redness and allergies.
Motor quality and speed:When choosing a shaver, motor quality and rotational speed are one of the key considerations. It is recommended to choose a shaver with a high-quality motor that provides more powerful and stable power to ensure an efficient and smooth shaving experience. It is recommended to prefer pure copper motors, its performance is better than that of aluminum motors, it has better transmission force and corrosion resistance, and has a longer service life. The aluminum motor is also prone to lack of power when used for a long time.
Floating level design of cutter head:When choosing a shaver, it's important to pay attention to the floating head design. Flexibility is recommended for shaversThis product is a product with a triple floating design of cutter head, cutter web, and cutter faceIt adapts to better adapt to curves in different areas, such as facial contours, ensuring a high fit between the head and the skin, providing a more comfortable and conformable shave. The larger the floating angle of the cutter head, the shaver can adjust the angle more flexibly from different directions during the shaving process, so that the shaver can efficiently shave the beard when shaving both forward and backward, reducing the amount of rubbing and redness and bleeding. If the shaver only has a single layer of floating, such as the floating design of the blade, the product will obviously have a poor fit with the first, the shaving efficiency is slow, and the dead corner of the chin cannot be completely shaved, and the shaving clarity performance is poor.
Performance anti-decay design: Shavers are recommended with advanced anti-decay technologyto ensure that the shaver retains a good level of performance over time. Non-professional brands will not carry out anti-decay design in the core motor kinetic energy and blade sharpness, which cannot ensure that the shaver will not be afraid of power decay and blade jamming after long-term use.
Adaptive Fit Design: The Adaptive Fit design allows the shaver to adapt more flexibly to the contours of the face, providing a more snug, smooth shave。This design helps to reduce discomfort and irritation while increasing the efficiency of shaving. It is difficult for a razor without adaptive body fit design to adapt to each person's different beard growth directions, resulting in low shaving efficiency and easy to cause redness and bleeding.
Endurance:Battery life is an important consideration when choosing a razor. Prefer a shaver with a high-quality battery and a battery life of about 90 minutes, which is especially important for travel or urgent use. Moreover, products with poor battery life will have power attenuation when the power is insufficient, which will affect the shaving efficiency and make it easier to increase the scraping with **.
Knowledge point 2: What are the precautions for using a razor?
Make sure your face is dry when it is usedWhen using a razor, making sure your face is dry is one of the key considerations. Before use, make sure that the face is dry and clean, because moistening may reduce the effectiveness of the shaver, and will make the shaver slip and scratch, causing redness and bleeding. Shaving products such as shaving foam or shaving gel should be applied when used to provide lubrication and reduce irritation during shaving.
Shave in the direction of beard growth:When using a razor, shaving in the direction of your beard growth is done to minimize irritation and discomfort. Shaving along the direction of beard growth can reduce the traction and friction, reduce the irritation of the blade, and avoid causing redness, swelling and discomfort when shaving, especially for some men with sensitive or acne-prone skin, who need to pay more attention to the way of operation.
Do not shave repeatedly in the same position:When using a razor, it is not advisable to shave repeatedly in the same position, this is to avoid overstimulation and damage. Repeated shaving of the same area may cause excessive friction and shaving, increase sensitivity, and cause redness and scratches. In addition, frequent shaving can also cause folliculitis or shaving irritation, making the beard short and stiff and difficult to shave.
Charging Notes:Proper maintenance of the charging point can ensure the efficiency and longevity of the battery, and avoid battery damage or performance degradation. At the same time, regularly cleaning the charging point of dirt or sediment can keep the connection well and ensure the normal charging process of the shaver. It needs to be charged according to the time specified by the product, and try to avoid exceeding the marked charging time to avoid damage to the product.
Storage & Storage:Proper storage protects the shaver from external substances, moisture or dust, and prevents damage or rust on the blade and shaving head. In addition, the shaver needs to be cleaned promptly after each use to avoid the growth of dirt and bacteria.
part3: Shaver evaluation collection
The main models of this shaver evaluation are:Braun 5 Series Pro, Philips Shaver S5166, Mijia Shaver Mijia S700, Mino Max, Feike Shaver 2023**FS968, Non-ferrous (Yoose) Electric Shaver MINI, Feike Small UFO FS891, Panasonic Small Hammer 20, Superman 5 series RS7380, Schneider Schneider ZMR01.
Shaver evaluation dimension: net whisker
Evaluating the net shave of a shaver is crucial as it is directly related to the shaving results of the shaver. Whisker gauge describes how much length of beard a shaver can shave while shaving, with higher whisker levels usually representing a more thorough shave. However, if the product adjustment of the shaver is not in place, it will lead to low shaving efficiency, and some stubble will remain, which will not only require repeated shaving, but also cause redness and bleeding in serious cases.
Method: Use an electric shaver to shave the fluff of the skin of the same variety of kiwifruit.
Assessment Results:
High net whiskerness:Mino and Braun have the highest whisker net of all products, and the beard is basically free of residue and smooth to the touch. In particular, the imported stainless steel self-grinding blade knife mesh and pure copper power engine used in this product, with the help of the adaptive body fit design, can well clean the stubble at the lips, and it is also very smooth to the touch, making people feel comfortable, which is a good shaving experience.
The net whisker is okay:Mijia, Philips, Panasonic these three products are still OK, measured on the face, we found that the stubble on both sides of the lips and chin is difficult to shave, after repeated shaving, there will still be some black spots stubble, and there will also be **redness.
The net whisker degree is average:The net whisker performance of the remaining product is very average, and it still feels like a hairy hand to the touch. When the effect on the upper face is measured, it will leave a noticeable stubble, which is difficult to remove, and it is necessary to shave vigorously and repeatedly.
So what other methods can be used to measure the whisker of a shaver in addition to this method?
Use a razor to shave the kiwi's epidermal hair:You can use a shaver to gently slide the surface of the kiwi and wash it slightly before shaving to ensure that the surface is dry. After use, observe whether the hairs on the surface of the kiwifruit are shaved cleanly, and whether there is any residual fluff in the places with large curvatures of the edges.
Use a razor to shave the surface of the fiber brush with a shaver:Gently slide the shaver over the surface of the brush, taking care not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the bristles or the blade, and shave in the direction of the bristles to ensure a clean and even cut. After one time, observe whether the shaving section of the fiber brush surface is smooth and missing, and whether there are different hair lengths.
Use a razor to shave the brush head of the mascara:Start by soaking the brush in warm water and gently shave the brush head with a razor. Observe the residual bristles on the brush head and see if they can be shaved all at once.
Shaver measurement dimension: fit
Measuring the fit of the shaver is crucial as it is directly related to the complete contours of the face when the shaver is used. A good fit reduces traction and discomfort during shaving, ensuring that the blade is in full contact with the skin for a better shave. The floating angle of the cutter head, the floating level design, whether the cutter mesh has an arc structure design, and whether there is an adaptive muscle fit design will affect the fit of the shaver.
Evaluation method: Measure the fit of the product with the actual use feeling, and take a close-up shot of the product with or without the curved structure design of the knife mesh.
Assessment Results:High fit:Weiye's product has a good fit, worthy of the knife mesh arc structure design, three-layer floating design and adaptive body fit design, which can better fit the skin, and can clean up the stubborn places of the beard on both sides of the lips and chin, and the face will not feel hot after use, and it will make people feel more clean and refreshing after use.
The fit is ok:Non-metaled, Panasonic, Braun, Feike 2023**fs968 These products fit well, although they are equipped with a knife mesh arc design, but there is no technical adjustment to the floating design of the knife head, so that the product can not fit the face well for use, the beard at the mouth and chin is difficult to shave, and it needs to be manually changed many times to clean up, and it is easy to have **redness and bleeding.
The fit is so-so:The fit of the remaining products is average, there is no knife mesh arc design, it can not be used well with the skin, it needs to be used repeatedly, and it can not be scraped clean, and the face is still hot.
Shaver evaluation dimension: the number of blade mesh materials
Evaluating the material and quantity of blades and meshes of a shaver is key, as it is directly related to the performance and durability of the shaver. The high-quality blades and knife mesh are made of imported blade mesh, which has high hardness and sharpness, which can provide a sharper shaving effect and higher durability. The number and layout of blades and nets also affect the shaving efficiency and comfort of the shaver.
Evaluation method: Refer to the details page and ask customer service about the number of blade meshes.
Evaluation results: From the data, it is not difficult to see that the number of blade knife mesh materials of each product is different, some are good and some are bad. But we found that this product has a very good performanceIt not only adopts the stainless steel double-layer blade and double-ring knife mesh imported from Germany, but also has the curved structure design of the knife mesh, the three-layer floating design and the adaptive body fit design, can better fit the skin, clean up the beard on the face without leaving dead corners, and there is no traditional razor after use, which causes **bleeding and redness, which is very good!
Shaver evaluation dimension: blade cutting efficiency
Measuring the cutting efficiency of a shaver's blade is crucial as it is directly related to the shaver's ability to cut the beard efficiently and quickly during the shaving process. Good cutting efficiency ensures that the shaver can quickly and thoroughly shave the beard and improve the shaving results. Not only does this save time, but it also reduces the likelihood of excessive tugging on the skin, improving the comfort of the shaving experience. The factors that affect the cutting efficiency of the blade mainly include the origin of the blade, the material and the sharpness, hardness, motor quality and speed.
Method: Use a razor to cut the brush head, and then observe the bristles under a microscope to be cut, the higher the cutting efficiency, the smoother and smoother the cross-section of the bristles being cut.
Assessment Results:The cutting efficiency of the blade is very highThe cutting efficiency of the blades of these two products, Weiye and Braun, is very high, and it can be seen that there is an obvious regular cutting cross-section, and the cutting efficiency is high. And this product can be done with the same cross-section as a reciprocating razor, which is very good, and the sharpness of the blade is still very high!
The cutting efficiency of the blade is okayPhilips and Panasonic have good blade cutting efficiency, but in the face of the stubborn dead corners on both sides of the chin and lips, they still need to be used repeatedly to shave clean, and they are easy to redness and bleeding after use, which affects the shaving experience.
The cutting efficiency of the blade is average:The cutting efficiency of the remaining products is average, and it can be found that there is a very obvious rough drawing situation through the microscope observation of the section, and it needs to be used repeatedly to barely scrape clean, and the cutting efficiency is average, and it is necessary to continue to add oil.
Shaver evaluation dimension: comfort of use
It is necessary to evaluate the comfort of the shaver because it is directly related to how the user feels during the shaving process. Excellent user comfort can reduce discomfort and irritation during shaving, ensuring a more relaxed and enjoyable shave. Factors such as motor quality and speed, number of blade materials and cutting sharpness, floating angle of cutter head, floating level design, curved structure design of the cutter web, anti-attenuation design of performance and comfort zone design will affect the evaluation experience.
So before we start, what are the signs that you are buying a product that is not comfortable?
Parameter dimension:Poor product fit, inefficient cutting of the blade, or poor design of the floating head can lead to increased discomfort and irritation during shaving. At the same time, too much shaver vibration or too harsh motor noise may also affect the comfort of use.
Experience Dimension:If you experience uncomfortable whisker pulling while using the shaver, it may indicate that the shaver purchased is not comfortable. The discomfort of a whisker is usually an indication of greater friction or traction between the blade and **, possibly due to poor blade design, insufficient fit, or poor cutting results. This condition can lead to increased irritation and discomfort while shaving, affecting the overall comfort experience.
Product Type:Nowadays, there are two types of shavers on the market: rotary and reciprocating. Swivel shavers, especially those with a three-layer floating design, usually offer a high level of comfort。This is because the three-layer floating design helps the shaver adapt better to the contours of the face, more flexibly conforming to the curves of the face, reducing friction and traction between the blade and **, thus reducing the discomfort of shaving.
Okay, with that out of the way, let's move on to our review.
Assessment: Use an electric shaver to shave the beard of the chin twice in the same way.
Assessment Results:High comfort of use:The comfort of this product is very high, the product not only has a comfort zone design, but also a knife mesh arc structure design, three-layer floating design, which can be used well, and the technical adjustment of the comfort zone, so as to protect the comfort zone from the irritation caused by shaving, care for health, and feel very comfortable after use!
The comfort of use is ok:Philips, Mijia, and Nonferrous Metals are comfortable to use, but because the blade is not sharp enough, it is still difficult to clean up in the face of some hard beards, and it needs to be used many times.
Comfort of use is average:The comfort of the remaining products is average, there is no comfort zone design, and it needs to be used repeatedly when shaving to be considered clean, but it is easy to appear **redness and bleeding after use, and long-term use will definitely affect **health.
