Mar 06, 2025
Classification of razors:
By power type
Electric razors: Made up of stainless steel mesh, inner blade and shell, they can be divided into rotary and reciprocating types according to the action characteristics of the inner blade. The power sources used include dry cell, storage battery and AC charging.
Rotary razors: not easy to hurt the skin, not easy to cause bleeding, low operating noise, suitable for people with sensitive skin. Most of the razors on the market have a power of 1.2 watts, which is suitable for most men. For thick and dense beards, you can choose a higher power such as 2.4 volt and 3.6 volt three-head rotary series. From a hygienic point of view, the waterproof series can effectively inhibit the formation of bacteria, but the blade wears out faster.
Reciprocating razors: higher shaving degree, larger shaving area, high speed, strong power, and no beard pulling phenomenon.
Manual razors: The shaving effect is the cleanest and most thorough, but it takes a long time, about 10-15 minutes.
According to the appearance and style
Straight razor: The appearance is cylindrical, with two kinds of blades, dynamic and static, on the top, a permanent magnet DC motor in the middle, a battery box at the bottom, three blades on the razor holder, and a mesh hole knife on the outside of the holder.
Elbow razor: The structure is basically the same as the straight type, the difference is that the rotating blade head and the motor form a certain angle with the lower battery box part, which can be adjusted to a 90° angle and a movable unfixed angle. The appearance is usually round and approximately rectangular.
Horizontal razor: It combines the rotary and reciprocating types. The blade head is installed on the side of the blade body. There are two parts of the razor. The rotary type is used for shaving short beards, and the reciprocating type is used for rolling long beards. It is suitable for people who like to keep sideburns and hair corners.
Double-head razor: It is more common, with a larger cutting area than the above three types, suitable for people with more beards.
Special type
Razor with power bank: The body is small, exquisite and lightweight, which is convenient for handheld use and travel.
