How is a trimmer different from an electric shaver?

Every man looks after his appearance - he shaves his face or cares for his beard and mustache, makes his own haircuts or shapes his hair. Various devices come to his aid in this matter. In order to carry out correct and complete care, it is worth considering in more detail how an electric shaver differs from a trimmer, which item is better to choose in this or that case.

In order to choose the right device, you need to understand for what purpose it will be used. So, you should consider what are men's shaving and haircutting devices, and what is the difference between them. Both devices are designed to take care of your appearance. Both are easy to find in the store, and their price is also not too different. The cost of a trimmer may increase depending on the availability of all kinds of attachments.

Almost every man has this attribute. By design, the razor can be rotary or mesh. Rotary consists of blades that are not protected by anything and cut off all hairs clean. But at the same time, the skin may not react very well to this type of shaving, it manifests itself in redness and irritation. You can shave just as easily with a mesh razor, but the blades hidden under the mesh will not irritate your skin.

An electric razor is convenient in that its service life can be very long, unlike a simple razor, where the blades need to be constantly changed. In addition, it is impossible to injure the skin with an electric razor if it is not overly sensitive. The procedure does not require the use of foam, gel or shaving cream. But in order for the razor to serve for a long time, you need to store it in a dry place in a special case and clean it.

This device is intended for trimming the hair on the head, with its help you can shape the mustache and beard. There are different options, differing in all kinds of attachments. You cannot shave with this device, only to the level of the bristles. But they can remove hairs in the nose, ears, shape the eyebrows. There are also separate devices for the ears and nose, they are very compact. Larger, with a variety of attachments are intended for the care of a chic beard or mustache of an unusual shape.

Both devices are quite compact and easy to use. Designed for men in order to maintain their appearance in order. But that's where the similarities end. The razor is designed exclusively for a close shave, it is able to completely shave off all hairs from the face and make the skin smooth for several days or for one day. It all depends on how intensively the bristles grow and how stiff they are.

A trimmer differs from a razor in that it is not designed to shave hair. But they can cut their hair. It is indispensable for the care of a beard and mustache. With the help of a trimmer, you can give your hair any shape, and it will remain for a long time. In addition, with the presence of various attachments, you can give the desired shape to the eyebrows, control the level of vegetation in the nose. This problem is also often present in the male half.With a trimmer, you can trim the hair on your head and make a simple haircut.

It is impossible to answer unequivocally which device is better for men. Everyone chooses what he needs. But the main selection criteria may be the same.

• If a man is used to shaving every day and wants the procedure to be quick, he needs an electric shaver. And in the case when a person prefers light stubble, and shaves from time to time, this device will also be necessary.
• Provided that a man has a mustache and a beard (or one thing), they need careful care so that their appearance is always at their best, and this requires a trimmer. It will help trim your hair at the right time and give it the desired shape.
• If you need to shape your eyebrows or remove hair from your nose, you should also purchase a trimmer.
• Ideally, both devices will be appropriate at home, since it is often necessary to use one and the other.
• There is also such an option when you need to drastically change the image. If the guy had a beard and mustache all the time, and it's time to part with them, they need to be cut with a trimmer, and then complete the procedure with a razor, giving the skin perfect smoothness. Or, on the contrary, every day a man shaved and suddenly decided to grow a beard - in this case, it needs to be trimmed, giving shape. Otherwise, it will grow chaotically, making the appearance unkempt and the appearance unkempt.
• When choosing both a trimmer and a razor, there are a few more important nuances to consider. There are devices that work from the mains or from rechargeable batteries and batteries, or they can combine two types of power supply. Here you need to focus on where you often have to shave and cut your hair. If at home, then mains power will do. If you need a compact device for frequent business trips, then you can limit yourself to the option that runs on batteries.
• For someone, such a moment as moisture resistance is also fundamental. Some can be used in the shower.
• No less important is the noise and vibration level, as well as the size of the device. Therefore, it is worth considering how the device fits in the hand, whether it is comfortable.
• When choosing a trimmer, you need to remember what kind of manipulations they have to perform. There is no point in overpaying for extra attachments that will gather dust on the shelf.
• In addition, you need to pay attention to the power level, because the speed and quality of shaving depends on it. For some, additional options such as backlighting, displaying the charge level, shape and color are important.
• There is also a good option when the device combines two functions: it can serve as both a razor and a trimmer - just change the attachments or switch the mode. Such a device can be convenient for home use, when you need to periodically shave and cut your hair. But for professional use, it is still better to choose different items.

So situations may arise different, depending on them and you need to make a decision about which device to buy. Both devices must be stored correctly; it is better to select a special shelf in the cabinet. Both accessories require a special purse or box, especially since the trimmer usually has additional attachments. In addition, the appliances require maintenance. After use, wipe them with a damp cloth, removing excess hairs.
