Best Electric Shaver For Sensitive skin
Cuts, Rashes, and skin irritation
Many men suffer from the negative effects associated with sensitive skin whether it be cuts, rashes or general other skin irritations. Cuts are caused by dull blades and shaving carelessly. Dirty blades can cause rashes.
There are a few more skin irritations that arise when shaving. These include razor burn, razor bumps and ingrown hair. Shavers to combat these issues specifically can be found on this page.
What should those with sensitive skin look for in an electric shaver?
Those with sensitive skin should:
Choose an electric shaver that is hypoallergenic. Hypoallergenic shavers are of course, very unlikely to induce an allergic reaction.
Replace the blades on the electric shaver annually (or as according to your shavers manual). Sharp blades are of course important in insuring a close shave. It also insures the blade won’t get caught in a thick beard causing nicks or cuts.
Purchase an electric shaver that has wet shaving capabilities. Wet shaving allows for the application of shaving creams, water and other shaving products. The extra lubrication is great for those with sensitive skin. The blades will glides more easily over the skin since there’s less friction. Less frictions= less skin irritation.
