CENTEK shavers and trimmers
The first razor was invented over 100 years ago. A lot of time has passed since that moment, and now the range of shaving devices is quite large. One of the leading positions in this area is occupied by Centek. The company has been producing razors and trimmers of various models for several years. To make the right choice and buy the best option, you need to study the features of the equipment produced under this brand.
Peculiarities
When using an electric shaver, the chance of getting a cut injury is minimized. The same cannot be said for manual razors. This is the main advantage of electrical devices.
Centek shavers and trimmers can be categorized into two categories:
- rotary;
- mesh.
The rotary ones are capable of shaving even very short hairs for a cleaner shave. But at the same time, people with sensitive skin types often experience irritation. Mesh appliances provide a more gentle shave. But perfectly smooth skin with such a device is extremely difficult to achieve. Another difference is that mesh razors are considered more durable when compared to rotary ones.
In addition, the electric shavers of this company differ from each other in many parameters:
- power supply option - from the battery or from the network;
- the ability to use the device during water procedures;
- the possibility of self-cleaning of the unit;
- the presence of additional attachments in the kit.
Electric shavers have their own advantages and disadvantages. The positive aspects include:
- the ability to shave without using foam or gel;
- compactness of the device;
- ease of use;
- security.
The disadvantages include:
- cost when compared with conventional shaving razors;
- noise during use;
- the complexity of the repair in the event of a breakdown.
There is an opinion that the trimmer is a kind of analogue of an electric shaver. This is not entirely true. The difference between the two devices lies in their purpose. So, a razor (if used correctly) should shave off the stubble completely. The trimmer is designed exclusively for cutting hairs.
The trimmer is more suitable for men who prefer to wear a mustache and beard. With the help of this device, you can quickly and accurately trim facial hair, give it the desired shape.
Centek trimmers differ from each other in some respects. These include:
- external design;
- body material;
- range of change in the length of the blades;
- the number of additional attachments included.
The device can be powered by batteries, a rechargeable battery or mains power. Trimmers also have advantages and disadvantages. The latter include:
- requires regular cleaning of the device;
- loud buzzing;
- the complexity of the repair.
The positive aspects include:
- comfortable haircut on the face and head;
- after cutting, the hairs do not grow into the skin;
- with additional attachments, you can cut hairs in the ears and nose.
When choosing a Centek razor and trimmer, it is imperative to consider all of the above points.

Operating tips
Regardless of the type of appliance (shaver or trimmer), it must be properly cared for. In order for the device to serve for a long time and remain in good condition, you need to perform simple actions.
- Clean the device after each use... If the blades are not removable, then it is better to clean them with a special brush. Removable can be washed gently under running water. To avoid getting an electric shock, you must first disconnect the power cord from the mains.
- It is important to lubricate the device special oil, which can be purchased separately if it ran out or was not supplied at all in the original package.
- If the device is used by more than one person, it is important to carry out regular disinfection... To do this, you can use an alcohol solution or special antibacterial mixtures.
Subject to these simple rules and with reasonable use, an electric shaver or trimmer will last more than one year. But it is equally important to make the right choice of the device at the stage of purchase.
