Nowadays, a beard has become a key element of the image of a stylish man, it is becoming easier to care for it - in any store there is a wide range of tools for professional and domestic use. In our review, we will tell you how to care for your beard using a shaver.

Shaver belongs to a group of professional tools with which men can bring their stubble to perfect condition. The device allows you to achieve a perfectly shaved face, therefore it is a valuable assistant in maintaining a flawless appearance. The professional shaver is a versatile unit. It operates on power supply, includes a knife block, a metal mesh, and a motor. The device is widely used in the hairdressing industry, it is a common option for barber equipment. Simply put, these are specialized online hairdressing scissors that are used to trim a man's beard.

The difference between a shaver and a shaving machine and trimmer comes down to the design features and functional purpose of the device. The edges of the knives allow you to remove hairs as close to the surface of the skin as possible and thereby ensure the necessary smoothness of the face.

The main advantages of shavers are obvious:

• shaving the bristles as close as possible, giving a smooth and clean skin;
• lack of contact of the cutting block with the skin surface due to the presence of a metal mesh - this minimizes the risk of abrasions and cuts;
• when working with a professional shaver, there is no need to use gel and foam, as well as preliminary preparation of the skin by steaming - this makes it possible to use the shaver in any convenient place;
• the price of a shaver is lower than the cost of an average quality trimmer.

At the same time, one cannot ignore some of the disadvantages of such equipment:

• many models give strong vibration during operation, and this brings significant discomfort during use of the device;
• battery life does not exceed 1 hour;
• despite its rather modest dimensions, such a razor is larger than trimmers.

However, for those men who appreciate the real smoothness of the face, all these shortcomings may seem insignificant, which should not even be paid attention to.

When deciding which device to buy - a shaver or an electric shaver, first of all, you need to answer the question: "Why are you buying a device?" If a man sets a goal to remove regrown hairs and enjoy the perfect smoothness of his face every day, then he can use both a shaver and a razor. But if he wants to grow a stylish beard, create a thin mustache and maintain an even sideburn shape, then the choice should be made in favor of a narrow-profile tool.

From an economic point of view, an electric shaver is more practical. It is more efficient because it can work continuously for several hours. This is especially true when the device is purchased to serve a large flow of customers in a hairdressing salon. Craftsmen of specialized institutions, for example, barbershops, prefer to have a shaver on hand - it allows them to provide comprehensive care for the mustache and beard of clients.Thus, while the difference between an electric shaver and a shaver is negligible, the latter is considered a more versatile and multifunctional tool. It allows you not only to shave off the hair, but also gives the hair on the face the desired shape and volume.

For unassuming customers, whose main task is to cope with a slightly grown one- or two-day stubble, the Chinese models from Moser and Wahl will be quite enough. These devices are famous for their laconic design and ease of use. In recent years, they have been very popular with professional craftsmen who use them for finishing work. The Wahl replacement foll was especially popular.

Such razors are also called road razors because they are compact and mobile. In addition, they are distinguished by their low cost. At the same time, manufacturers supply a wide range of replaceable knives and nets to the market. Therefore, if the quality of shaving suddenly deteriorates, you should not run to the store for a new one - in most cases it will be enough to buy inexpensive spare parts.

Before buying, be sure to connect the device to the power supply, the shaver should work without extraneous sounds from the side of the case, it should not be heated. Choose an instrument with low vibration, in this case, skin irritation will be minimal. Pay attention to the capacity of the battery. Most of the products can only work autonomously for up to 1 hour.

Wired and wireless models can be selected depending on the operating conditions.

• Nozzles. Pay special attention to the attachments. Shaver is a barber tool that effectively removes even very short hairs from the skin. That is why the cutting height becomes a fundamental parameter for attachments. For a professional device that gives the maximum shaving quality, this parameter should not go beyond 0.1 mm.
• Net. Please make sure the assembly and fixing of the mesh before purchasing. It should fit into the shaver device like a glove. It is not allowed to make a mesh from a thin bendable material.
• Knives. Most modern shavers have a dual cutterhead for the ultimate close shave. Experienced barbers recommend giving preference to models in which the head is separate, and the cover of the knife block can be disassembled, if necessary, into its constituent elements. This is very important, because in the event of a breakdown of a spare part, repair work can be performed with minimal costs in the shortest possible time. In addition, devices with a collapsible head are much easier to clean and maintain.

• first, rinse your face with cool water and dry with a soft towel;
• there is no need to use special creams;
• the shaver is guided along the surface of the face with slow and smooth movements: if you hurry, then some areas may remain unhaven;
