An electric hair shaver and trimmer is such good value that it’s hard to understand why more men don’t buy them if they have the sort of short haircut that has one length all over. Parents often buy an electric hair shaver so that they can do their sons’ haircuts at home, and this not only saves money but is also useful for children who are reluctant to go to the hairdresser.
An electric hair shaver comes with a range of combs, each designed to give a specific hair length. The best way to decide on the right length for yourself or your children is to go to the hairdresser and ask the setting they use on their electric hair shaver. It’s not difficult to use an electric hair shaver on yourself or on others.
You need to decide if you want an electric hair shaver to connect to the mains or if you might need it sometimes when travelling, as some come with a rechargeable battery. A wireless electric hair shaver with rechargeable battery would be a good option if you’re often away from home, and it can also be useful to avoid wires while cutting hair even if you don’t travel much.
Watch out for an electric hair shaver that comes with extras. You might want an electric hair shaver that also works for trimming beards and moustaches, and there are plenty available. It’s not enough just to have an electric hair shaver as you also need a good pair of haircutting scissors for some trimming. A good electric hair shaver will come with scissors, a brush and oil to clean and maintain the blades and combs, and a handy container to keep it all neat and well protected.
To look after your electric hair shaver make sure you clean the blades and combs carefully after each use. There should be a small brush provided to clear out any hair from your electric hair shaver, then you need to use the oil provided to lubricate it, and always keep it stored in its case. Make sure you put the blade protector on your electric hair shaver when it’s not in use, both to maintain it and also to avoid cutting yourself when getting it out again. It’s important to store your electric hair shaver well out of reach of children.
