Electric razors / electric dry shavers have an oscillating or rotating blade that is powered by a small DC motor with rechargeable batteries. You don't need to use shaving creams, gels or foams with this type of razor. Using electric razors is also known as dry shaving. Some of the first electric razors were powered by a house current or if it had no electric motor, it had to be run manually. The first electric razor was patented by American manufacturer Col. Jacob Schick. But it was Remington Rand that developed the electric razor further in 1937. Early versions of electric razors could only be used effectively on dry skin. More recent developments have electric razors allowing for shaving cream and moisture.
Philips laboratories came up with the concept of the revolving electric razor. It has a shaving head that has cutters that cut off the hair entering the head of the razor at skin level. Some of the modern styles of electric hair clippers include the bulk hair clippers which are used to remove a bulk of the hair being shaved, the main hair clippers on which guards are attached to achieve a perfect length all over the head and the mini clippers which are used to trim the edges of the hair cut.
Electric shavers are comfortable, quick and convenient, rechargeable shavers can be used anywhere, anytime. A razor blade removes skin along with the whiskers, electric shavers remove very little if any skin. Many dermatologists recommend use of electric shavers because the stainless steel, platinum or gold coating on the head or foil prevents skin irritation. Dry shaving is preferred because it does not destroy the acid layer on the skin which keeps bacteria away. Here are some of the top brands that electric shaver users prefer:
