Cord or Cordless Electric Shaver

Electric shavers with cords can be divided into two types: The first type has chargeable batteries where the cord is connected to the charging base and you can use the machine once you remove it from the base. This type provides the user with more mobility.

The second type has the cord connected to the shaver itself and so you need to be near a power supply when using it.

As for wireless shavers, it has lithium batteries that need a short period of time to be charged. If you travel a lot and need a fast charging machine, shavers with lithium batteries will be suitable for you. Make sure to check what type of batteries the machine has and how long it takes to charge it.

Wet or Dry Use

Many electric shavers are water resistant making them useful for people who shave using water and during a shower. Other models can be only used when the skin is dry – not water resistant. Water resistant machines are usually more expensive than the dry ones.

This matter is up to the user and his preference.
