Number of cuts
The number of cutting movements made by shaver blades per minute. Determines the number of hairs that the device can cut in a given amount of time. The higher the number of cuts, the more efficient and faster the shaving process.
Replacement nozzle model
Model of replacement head(s) compatible with electric shaver. This data will be useful primarily when looking for spare nozzles.
Features
—
Turbo mode. The function of a short-term increase in the speed of rotation of the motor. This increases the performance of the shaver, which can be especially important when working with thick hair or in hard-to-reach areas. Note that the turbo mode, usually, is not intended for long-term operation.
—
Auto-detection of bristles. The electric shaver's head contains a sensor to detect bristle density or stiffness. Through the automatic stubble feature, the shaver's motor adjusts power according to the skin area's requirements. This capability facilitates effective one-pass shaving, even with thick stubble. As the shaving head transitions from dense to moderate bristles, the motor power decreases automatically. This not only conserves battery life but also provides a gentler experience for the skin.
—
Floating head/foil. The floating or movable shaving head(s) are capable of moving relative to the shaving unit and shaver body. Such a system follows the contours of the face during shaving, which ensures a tighter fit of the shaving heads to the skin, as a result — a cleaner and better shave, especially in difficult areas.
—
Possibility of washing with water. Possibility of washing the shaving unit with water. This method is often much more convenient and effective than dry cleaning with a brush or other method
.... Note that being washable with water does not necessarily mean wet shaving (see above).
— Cleaning indicator. A special indicator that notifies the user of the need to clean the shaver.
— Self-sharpening blades. Blades made using a special technology, thanks to which they sharpen themselves, due to friction against each other in the process. Thus, the blades remain sharp at all times, and their maintenance is limited to the replacement of worn blades.
— Child lock. Shavers featuring a safety switch are designed to activate only when held in the user's hand and intentionally turned on. This design prevents unintended activations, such as during travel when the device might shake inside luggage, avoiding unnecessary battery drain during idle moments.Operating time
The average runtime of electric shavers on a full battery charge, without recharging, is generally overestimated due to factors like hair length, density, and trimmer usage. Manufacturer claims for runtime tend to be higher than actual usage.
Longer runtimes require heavier and more expensive powerful batteries. Most shavers offer around
45 minutes of runtime, while some models provide up to
1 hour or as low as
30 minutes of operation.
Charge level indicator
The presence in the design of the electric shaver
charge level indicator.
It's important to highlight that in this context, an indicator refers specifically to a visual representation of the charge level. This could manifest as a battery icon or a percentage displayed on the
display. Such an indicator significantly simplifies battery monitoring, minimizing the possibility of being unexpectedly left with a depleted battery.
