Nozzles

Built-in trimmer. Device for trimming the contours of facial hair. A trimmer is similar to a clipper, but smaller and better suited for fine work. Located directly on the body of the device.

Blade for hair cutting. Removable version of the trimmer (read more about the trimmer above), made in the form of a replaceable nozzle and is installed instead of the main nozzle with shaving heads. Thanks to this, the trimmer can be made wider than the built-in trimmer, and overall more efficient.

Nozzle for ears and nose. The cylindrical nozzle of small diameter allows you to penetrate the inlet and ear and remove unwanted vegetation from there. It is installed mainly on top of the main nozzle.

Universal comb. Such a nozzle can be useful for regular care of the stubble or beard, when you need to trim, shorten, and not just shave. Length adjustment allows you to select the desired value for a particular area or depending on the image and type of "hairstyle".

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.

USB charging

Electric shavers with USB charging are aimed at improving the comfort not so much in the operation of the device as in its maintenance. This function allows you to recharge the battery both from the outlet and from the USB port of a laptop or power bank. That's just the connector you need the appropriate one.

Voltage switching

The ability to switch the voltage for which the shaver is designed, adjusting it to the characteristics of various electrical networks. This feature is useful for those who often travel abroad: in different countries, the voltage in the outlet can also be different. For example, in Europe and most Asian countries, 230 V networks are used, but in North America the voltage is 110 V.

In the simplest models with this function, the voltage is switched manually, more advanced shavers have an automatic network adjustment system.
