Jan 22, 2025

1. Classification by blade head
Rotary type:
Rotary razors are not easy to hurt the skin and are less likely to cause bleeding, so friends with sensitive skin can focus on them. They make little noise during operation. For example, some rotary razors with a power of 1.2 volts are common on the market, but if the beard is thick and dense, this low-power one may seem a bit powerless. Its principle is relatively simple. When shaving, it is similar to the knife used by the barber, which is sharper and suitable for thicker and shorter beards. In some new models, 2.4 volt and 3.6 volt three-head rotary series have been developed, which can shave thick and dense beards instantly. And from a hygienic point of view, the waterproof series has a flushing function, which can effectively inhibit the formation of bacteria. Its appearance is cylindrical, with two types of blades, dynamic and static, on the top, a permanent magnet DC motor in the middle, and a battery box at the bottom. A straight razor is a razor holder with three such blades installed on it, and the outside of the holder is a mesh hole knife.


Straight razor:
This razor has a cylindrical appearance. Structurally, there are two types of blades, dynamic and static, on the top, a permanent magnet DC motor in the middle, a battery box at the bottom, and three blades on the razor holder, with a mesh hole blade on the outside of the holder. In terms of working principle, the motor drives the blade to move to shave.


Elbow razor:
Its structure is basically the same as the straight type. The main difference is that the rotating blade head and the motor form a certain angle with the lower battery box, which can be adjusted to a 90° angle and a movable unfixed angle. The appearance is usually round and approximately rectangular. It feels good and convenient when shaving, and is more beautiful during use.


Horizontal razor:
This razor combines the characteristics of rotary and reciprocating, and the blade head is installed on the side of the blade body. It contains two parts of the razor. The rotary type can be used for shaving short beards, and the reciprocating type can be used for rolling long beards. It is a good choice for those who like to keep sideburns and hair corners, because it imitates the working principle of artificial clippers and performs well in these two aspects.


Double-head razor: A more common type of razor, its cutting area is larger than that of the straight, elbow, and horizontal razors, so it is more suitable for people with more beards. 2. Classification by power Manual razor: The shaving effect of a manual razor is the cleanest and most thorough. It usually takes a long time to use a manual razor, about 10-15 minutes, but it can shave all the stubble cleanly. Electric razor: Electric razor is fast, convenient, low-noise, and suitable for busy office workers. However, if the user finds allergies, he should stop using it immediately. It can be divided into two types according to the action characteristics of the inner blade: rotary and reciprocating. The power used includes dry batteries, batteries, and AC charging.
