We also know that wet shaving is far better / kinder to your skin than an electric razor. The electric razor (also known as the electric dry shaver) has a rotating or oscillating blade. The electric razor itself does not require the use of shaving cream, soap or water, with the razor being powered by a small DC motor.

Should you wet hair before using electric razor?

Most electric razors are “water resistant” (check yours to be sure) and can be used while you skin / hair is wet. Do not expect an even nor close shave – wet hair sticks up, sideways, and all over the place which makes it hard for blades to cut them.

Do you shave up or down?

You must shave in the downwards direction as it protects you from getting razor burns or ingrown hair. Although shaving against the grain can undoubtedly give you a closer shave, it is not something you must follow if you have sensitive skin. Check out the Gillette SkinGuard razor to enjoy a clean and smooth shave.

Do electric shavers leave stubble?

Going electric means you can have a quick trim of a beard, get your stubble at the length you want, or get a clean shave finish in many cases. Since electric razors also collect most of the hairs, you could even stay mobile as you shave, getting ready for work for example.

How do you shave with an electric razor for the first time?

Hold the electric shaver in your dominant hand. Pull the area of skin you’re shaving taut with your other hand. Move the electric shaver slowly over your skin in the opposite direction of the hair growth. If you’re using a shaver with a rotary head, move it over the skin in small, circular motions.

Can I use electric razor for pubic hair?

We wouldn’t recommend using the standard rotary or foil electric shaver you use to shave your face for pubic hair. Instead of using an electric razor or shaver, our team suggests looking at body groomers and trimmers. These are more like a beard trimmer with some having interchangeable comb heads depending on length.

How often should I oil my electric razor?

Lubrication frequency must take into account how you use and clean your razor. My recommendation would be this: Twice a week if you don’t use liquid soap to clean your razor. A spray lubricant is probably more practical in this case as it also helps with cleaning the parts.

Should you use an electric shaver before or after shower?

Shaving Before You Shower Because heat and moisture open pores and soften tough facial hair, making it easier to shave without irritation. And remember: always use a high quality shaving oil, cream or gel – without a protective barrier, a razor’s edge drags along bare skin, causing nicks, redness and irritation.

Can I use electric razor in shower?

Electric razors that are water-resistant and can be used under wet conditions are best for the shower, as compared to using the cartridge razors or the straight razors as they can be difficult to use due to the other things needed such as the shaving brush, lather bowl, pre-shave soap, etc.

As mentioned above, pubic hair serves a protective function by trapping pathogens that could otherwise enter your body. Removing pubic hair may therefore make a person more susceptible to common infections, such as UTIs, vaginitis, and yeast infections.

How do you groom pubic hair?

A careful routine can prevent irritation, razor burn, and injury. Clean your tools. Keep a separate grooming kit for your bits. Trim excess hair before you shave, shape, or tidy. Bathe before grooming. Exfoliate. Lather up. Shave or trim in the direction of hair growth. Take your time and use caution.

1. Electric shavers don’t shave as close as a blade. Even though high-end shavers like the Panasonic Arc 5 can get very close performance-wise to a blade, they still can’t match it.

Do electric razors go blunt?

When you use an electric shaver as a part of your daily routine, blades and foils will naturally wear with use. As the blades become less sharp or even blunt, you will gradually notice your shave become less close and comfortable, as well as a bit of a chore.
