The principle of operation and types of electric shavers

Electric shavers for men are of two types - rotary and mesh. The former are necessarily equipped with heads (movable or fixed), inside of which there are blades. Razor elements during operation of the device continuously rotate in a circle, simultaneously grabbing and cutting hairs at the desired angle. Devices equipped with a grid system, have the appropriate protective mechanism - a grid that prevents the appearance of cuts during shaving. Such electric shavers also have vibrating blades in their design, due to which the shaving of the hairs occurs.

Rotary devices are equipped with floating heads, while wire mesh devices have shaving units. These elements perform the same function, therefore there is no fundamental difference between them. The only difference is that mesh electric shavers they do not always cope with shaving in hard to reach areas due to their design.
