Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Remember that all men have different type of beards, hair thickness, hair density , facial features, etc. The importance of reading other people reviews before purchasing an electric shaver is even more important if you are known to have sensitive skin, as other men with sensitive skin will probably be rambling about it on reviews, forums and blogs.

When reading reviews, go with the majority. You will find that there are always the “complainers” or the “eternal unhappy”, that will often give any product a dark review. Also look for the ones who give an unfair bad review to the product because the store they bought from gave them bad customer service. Remember that you are not comparing stores, but actual products.

So, what should you look for in the actual product? First, there are many models of Braun electric razors. Braun electric razors also come in different sizes (such as the Travel size, that come in a practical little pocket) and price ranges. As a matter of fact, a Braun electric razor of good quality can range anywhere between 30$ to over 200$. While the price is not always an indication of the quality of shaving, it can usually be linked to the number of bells and whistles that come with you new device.

While the ultimate function of Braun electric shavers or any other brand is to provide you with a close shave with as little discomfort as possible, some men like the idea of having other additional features to their gadget.

Okay, if you are not the type whos care for extra cool gadgets, you can stop reading here and go have a look at our top 5 products, as we feature some of the best and affordable Braun models available on the market.

On the other hand, if “rechargeable”, “portable”, “LED-LCD”, “auto-cleaner”, “quick recharge”, “style” , just to name some of the add-ons, intrigue you, you may be interesting in reading further below.

The clean & renew system is an auto-cleaner system that comes with many fancier models of Braun electric shavers. It will allow you to keep your best electric shaver clean at all time. The system also lubrifies the head of the razor, increasing the lifetime and performance of the head and overall shaver.

Battery cell type : Nickel-Hydride versus Lithium-ion. The Lithium-ion cell batteries are used in the more expensive models of Braun electric razors. A known fact is that, compared to the lithium-ion cell, the energy density of the Nickel Hydride has a lower “volumetric energy density” and a higher “self-discharge”. In plain old english, this means that the device using a Nickle-Hydride cell battery will discharge much faster than the one using a Lithium-ion cell battery when not in use.

LCD or LED. And LCD on your Braun electric razor? Just to add a little more personnality to your gadget!

Travel shaver. As you probably know, it is a nightmare to travel in today’s airports. With all the luggage restrictions, the best is to pack light. And what better than a miniature shaver to pack in your luggage, instead of that great but bulky electric shaver of yours. The Braun PocketGo P-70 Men’s Shaver is, with no doubt, the best gadget to have for someone who travels a lot. And if you are the type to forget the cord or the recharging base, this Braun electric razor will work like a charm for you as it uses two AA batteries.

How to use a Braun Electric Razor?

A Braun electric razor is always a great gift idea, whether it is for a best dad’s birthday, an anniversary gift for your dear husband, a present for your brother or a father’s day gift. Braun electric shavers are simply men’s best friend when it comes to shaving.

But if after a few days of using your Braun electric razor, you can’t seem to get it right and have decided to fall back on manual shaving and your good ol’ Mach3, read this, chances are that your are not using this great Braun electric razor properly. To get the most out of Braun electric shavers, read the following tips.

First, as your are shaving, don’t hesitate to use your fingers. Use your fingers to stretch your skin to help the electric razor will smoothly glide on the contours of your face. This ensures that the hair is upright for easier cut.

Then, make sure you are using your new shaving device in a gentle way. Use your Braun electric shaver just like you would use your manual razor, i.e. gently. Do not put too much pressure on the shaver. A Braun electric razor require a light pressure. By doing so, you will minimize the chance of irritation. Remember, you don’t have to do the big of the work, you simply have to let your shaver do the job by letting it glide along the lines of your neck and jaw and the contours of your face.

Try to start with the most sensitive parts of your face or neck. For most men, the neck is the most sensitive area. Hence, as the Braun electric razor heats up (remember it is a machine and will eventually start heating up a little bit), you may get more irritation. Therefore, by starting (when the shaver is still fresh and cool) where it irritates the most, you will minimize the chances of redness, itchiness and further irritation.

As much as possible, try to keep your Braun electric shavers clean. A clean Braun electric razor will do a better job at cutting the hairs. With clean an properly maintained foils and cutters, you will increase the quality of your shaving, reducing the need to pass over the same spots, therefore decreasing the chances of burns and irritation. Luckily, several models of Braun electric shavers use the unique clean and renew system, which automatically wash the foils and cutters of your Braun electric razor.

A Braun electric razor can be your best friend, but learn to be patient when using it. It can be an excellent tool to have around, allows you a convenient way to shave, especially if you are in a hurry. But if you have used manual razors all your life, it may take a few weeks to get used to the feeling of using this electric device, but also to get the hand of using it. So patient is your best friend, just like in any situation. If you haven’t figured yet the best way to use your Braun electric razor, don’t give up just yet, give it a few more go’s. You will wonder, after you get the hang of it, how you were able to live so long without Braun electric shavers.

Top 5 reasons to use a Braun electric shaver

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Electric Shavers have gone a long way since they were first put on the market. Many men refuse to consider the idea of purchasing an electric shaver, because they think they are too expensive, have heard stories about pinching and cuts, or still believe that manual shaving is the only way to get a proper shaving. However, Braun Electric Shavers have change the face of electric shaving. The quality of their electric shavers have impressed men around the world.

Braun electric shaver, an unparalleled experience!

Braun electric shaver, an unparalleled experience!

1) Better than a manual shaver? People are divided on that one. It was often shown that manual shaving with a multi-blade shaves slighter closer than electric shaving. HOWEVER, keep in mind that using a multi-blade razor also means that you have a razor that pass over your skin 5 times, which increase chances of shaving rash, redness, irritation and ingrown hairs. Braun electric shavers will give you the joy of a clean shave, at a much comfortable and enjoyable level.

2) On the long run, they make you save money. While they can seem a little expensive at first, over time, you will realize how much money you will save. First, manual shavers can also be expensive, especially if you buy the multi-razors ones or the higher end models. Manuals shaver heads have to be replaced periodically, depending on how often you need to shave. If you like the closer shaving, you probably spend well over $20 per month on shaver razor heads. With a Braun electric shaver, a $4 cartridge will last you 30 shaves (one month). It first takes a small investment to purchase a Braun electric shaver but the quality is there and you can probably live with for life (or at least for many many many years). Now do the math.

3) They are reliable. Braun has been making electric shavers for decades. They know what they are doing, and the reviews for Braun electric shavers are unparalleled : most men who use Braun electric shavers are extremely happy with their product and the results of the shaving. While many have complained about the blade of other electric shavers brand shaving a little too close, causing cuts, razor burn, ingrown hairs, etc, Braun have come with their technology and their Braun electric shavers are a success. Easy to use, clean and close cuts, no pinching… what else is there to ad?

4) They are affordable. There was a time were electric shavers were expensive and often an
accessory for people who had spare money to spend on a cool gadget. But today, with Braun being a leader in shaving technology, Braun electric shavers are very affordable and cost as low as $50 for a good Braun electric shaver.

5) They make you save time. In the morning, would you rather spend an extra few minutes to sleep, read the paper or have coffee rather than shaving. If the answer is yes, then Braun electric shavers is the solution. By using an electric shaver rather than a manual shaver, you will save precious time, up to 4 days per year! This is a considerable amount of time if you thing about the fact that most people barely get two weeks of vacations per year!
