Today, the quality of shaving with electric razors has become much higher, since in addition to sharing several cutting tools, floating heads and a special arcuate shape of knives, the mesh has become much thinner, which allows the hairs to go almost completely into the holes. In addition, holes on razor grids began to be placed at different angles, which allows you to grab hair with different growth directions and lift them even if they are too close to the skin surface. But it should be borne in mind that the grids of such devices are quite fragile and inaccurate use can lead to rapid breakdown, after which their further use is impossible, as this can lead to skin damage. In this case, the replacement of the cutting unit is necessary, and very often the cost of such consumables is even very substantial.
