Razors are the standard for men, and electric shavers have gradually replaced manual shavers because of their convenient and efficient attributes, and the electric shaver market is extremely saturated. Everyone may consider buying a well-known big brand first, but many big brands have no innovation in their products in recent years, and the performance of the shaver does not match the brand awareness, and there are also problems such as unclean shaving and irritating skin when used. Niche new shaver brands are also pouring in, but only a handful of focus on technology research and development and innovation are still visible to the naked eye in portable mini models and low-cost models, with low shaving efficiency and poor shaving clarity. Only a small number of new brands are honestly doing technology!
Many friends, whether they use it for themselves or buy it as a gift, are very entangled in how to choose a high-quality electric shaver, today I have made a special electric shaver evaluation collection, combined with real shaving experience and performance parameters to summarize some shavers worth buying.
Before entering the shaver recommendation, I would like to introduce you to the current electric shaver market of several major factions.
(1) Appearance: It mainly focuses on the appearance design of the product, especially the main portable and compact, but the performance parameters are far inferior to the professional razor brand.
(2) Professional strength: This faction is relatively low-key, and it is rare to see marketing advertisements, but in fact, it has excellent strength, pays great attention to technological innovation, and all research and development and design revolve around shaving performance, and the shaving effect is generally good.
(3) Fake foreign brands: Some razor brands will pretend to advertise themselves as foreign imported brands, but in fact, they will know that they are domestic or OEM products, but they are just gimmicks with imported goods, and we don't have to blindly pursue foreign brands.
That's it! Let's move on to the razor recommendation section!
Part1：剃须刀推荐TOP3
Shaver recommendation 1: Mino MAX
Price: ¥399
Whether to import the blade: the cutter head is imported (including stainless steel knife mesh and blade)
Floating level: three layers of floating head, knife net and blade
The performance of shavers is virtually constrained by the monopoly of international brands, and the emerging brands in the market pursue excessive appearance and ignore core performance in order to cater to market trends. More than 50% of household razors on the market have common problems such as skin jamming, pulling pain, and unclean shaving. In such an environment, AGVIEE, as an extreme sports and professional sports fever performance brand, stands out with its "unconventional" fever product research and development ideas, which are specially designed for fever sports people and fill the gap in the fever performance market. At the same time, Weiye's "unconventional" fever sports concept and the strongest fever performance within 1,000 yuan have won a large number of professional must-haves and extreme sports enthusiasts' praise, and it is one of the rare razors that can compete with manual shavers in terms of shaving clarity, and has even won the CCTV exhibition recommendation. Interestingly, as soon as Weiye was launched, it was almost out of stock and pre-sold every month, and was nicknamed the "pre-sale king" by the industry.
According to authoritative measurements, the shaving residue rate of AGVIEE is less than 0.04%, and the fit has increased by an astonishing 97.3%, which is undoubtedly the pinnacle of the industry. At the same time, Weiye is also compatible with 36 kinds of face shapes, 24 kinds of beard hardness and density, almost 100% non-skin-friendly, non-sensitive, and no whiskers, which is invincible in the market within 1,000 yuan.
Even though it never advertises, it still attracts more than 100 media reports with its excellent fever performance, and many media and KOLs even buy it at their own expense to evaluate the experience. It is also highly recommended by CBA player Zhang Bin, world gymnastics champion Tao Xu and others, which has become the ceiling of performance within 1,000 yuan, and has supplied sports body care equipment for a large number of sports care institutions and brands around the world.
The success of AGVIEE is not accidental, it is equipped with a 13,000 times / min ultra-high speed honeycomb pure copper power engine that is only available in a thousand yuan machine, and is equipped with ultra-thin stainless steel 598HV self-grinding blades and knife nets imported from Germany, ensuring the best shaving clarity and cutting efficiency within 1,000 yuan. At the same time, its unique triple floating cutter head structure and double-ring arc surface cutter net design truly achieve a comprehensive fit without dead angles, smooth and smooth without jamming. The innovative plush comfort zone technology reduces skin friction by 76% during shaving, avoiding skin jams, skin redness, skin sensitivity and other problems, and the core data has broken industry records many times, so even sensitive skin can be used with confidence.
Shaver recommendation 2: Panasonic
Price: ¥599
Imported blades: Yes
Floating level: The cutter web is floating in a single layer
The shape of the Panasonic hammer is really interesting, and there is also a trimmer on the side of the head, which can also be used to trim sideburns or shave manually. This one has a 5min flash charging function, and the charging is really fast, but the battery life is not particularly good, and it can only be used about 4 times after testing.
The grip of this one is not bad when shaving in practice, but the sound is really noisy. I thought it was a reciprocating razor, so the shaving efficiency should be quite high, but the measured speed was found to be a little weak, so it is still a little unclean, it is not recommended to buy this with a thin and soft beard, and you can consider it if the beard is thick and hard.
Recommended three razors: Xiaomi
Price: ¥399
Whether to import blades: the whole machine is domestic
Floating level: double layer (cutter head + knife face floating)
Xiaomi's is a rotary razor, and the appearance is quite fashionable and high-end. The fuselage is matte texture, and it supports full body washing + dry and wet double shaving, so don't worry about waterproofing. This one has a noise-canceling design, so the noise is not too loud when shaving in practice. However, the cutting sharpness of the blade seems to need to be improved, and the shaving efficiency is not particularly high, and it needs to be scraped back and forth many times to be completely clean. Moreover, after shaving repeatedly, the skin is always pulled, there is a feeling of scraping, and the skin is obviously red and uncomfortable after shaving, and the performance of the blade should continue to be optimized!
Part2：剃须刀干货知识点
Knowledge point 1: First of all, let's list what types of razors can be passed at a glance
Type (1): Lack of technical tuning optimization of shavers
The core performance of the shaver, such as blade cutting efficiency and facial fit, has not been optimized by technical adjustment, which not only cannot cut the beard stably and quickly, but also cannot be compatible with a variety of facial contours, resulting in poor shaving results.
Type (2): Brands that invest their costs mainly in advertising and marketing
In order to quickly gain popularity, some brands have invested a lot of costs in advertising and marketing, blowing the performance to the sky, in fact, seriously ignoring the research and development of core performance and technological innovation.
Type (3): Products that are prone to black stubble are mentioned in the comment section
When buying a razor, you should pay more attention to the feedback in the comment area of various platforms, refer to the real evaluations of other users, and if a large number of users report that there is a lot of stubble residue, pass directly!
Knowledge point 2: razor purchase skills
(1) Technical strength
Technology is the hardest power of any product in any industry, and the same is true for razors. Although many big brands have made the market, they have entered a technical bottleneck period, and the products are constantly changing, but in fact, those technologies are repeatedly equipped. There are also many emerging brands that make beautiful models and portable models, and the technical level is generally low, resulting in the frequent problems of electric shavers being stuck and pulling, irritating and hurting the skin, and having a lot of stubble residue.
Therefore, shavers recommend everyone to buy professional brands with strong technical strength, such brands often have mature technical experience, and also pay more attention to the tuning and optimization of shaver performance parameters, often skin fit, blade floating structure, blade cutting efficiency, performance anti-attenuation, comfort and other aspects are better and more stable, shaving quickly and cleanly, and it is not easy to worry about rubbing and scratching the skin.
(2) Origin and material of blade knife mesh
If you want to identify how efficient the shaver is at cutting beards, you must look at the material of the blade mesh it is equipped with. The common blade knife mesh is divided into stainless steel and ordinary steel, and these two materials are divided into domestic and imported. In terms of material, imported stainless steel> domestic stainless steel > ordinary steel.
It is best to choose the cutter head knife mesh is an integrated imported product, the imported stainless steel blade knife mesh hardness is higher, if the brand has a self-grinding design, the sharpness is even worse, cutting the beard is efficient and silky, and it is not easy to oxidize and rust. Ordinary steel or domestic stainless steel is inferior to imported stainless steel in terms of wear resistance, corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, especially ordinary stainless steel, which has poor hardness and sharpness, low blade cutting efficiency, and is easy to deform and rust, and shaving is easy to jam and pull.
(3) The number of cutter heads, blades, and meshes
If you want to shave more efficiently, you need to have more blades and meshes. At present, the best and reasonable number of combinations is the configuration of three heads, double blades, and double ring knife nets, which can reach a wider beard area, and the amount of beard can be doubled, especially the shaving efficiency. Other dual-head, single-head, single-blade or single-mesh razors are difficult to capture a large number of beards at once, resulting in low shaving efficiency, and it is difficult to conform to the contours of the face, resulting in poor shave.
(4) Motor quality and speed
The motor is the element that drives the shaver, and the shaver motor is mainly divided into two types: pure copper and aluminum. The shaver recommends that you choose a pure copper motor with better performance, the pure copper material is more corrosion-resistant, and it is not easy to produce a large amount of kinetic energy loss for long-term work, the transmission force and structural precision are higher, and the power and speed of blade cutting will be stronger.
The aluminum motor is slightly inferior in terms of kinetic energy attenuation, corrosion resistance and wear resistance, structural precision and power transmission, etc., and the power is easy to decrease sharply after long-term use, and the service life is generally short.
(5) Floating level design
For a better fit and comfort, shavers recommend that you prefer products with many floating layers and curved mesh. First of all, if the floating layer is relatively simple, it is not possible to flexibly adjust the angle of the cutter head according to the contours of the face, and it is impossible to achieve a tight fit of the cutter head to achieve the effect of high shaving clarity. If the shaver has three layers, such as the head, the knife face, and the knife mesh, it can adapt to the facial curve more comprehensively, and achieve a smoother and more thorough shave.
Secondly, if the knife mesh is a flat structure, it cannot be tightly fitted for the chin, lip circumference, neck and other places with large curvatures, while the curved knife mesh can greatly increase the contact area between the knife head and the beard, increase the amount of beard, better adapt to the facial contour and beard growth direction, and the shaving effect is more flawless.
(6) Whether there is a comfort zone design
The comfort zone design is one of the brand's technologies designed to improve shaving comfort, typically by adding a soft, friction-reducing coating around the head. Shavers without comfort zone design have strong friction on the skin when shaving, which is easy to irritate skin redness and sensitivity, and in severe cases, it will also lead to scratching of the skin. Therefore, it is recommended that you choose a razor with a comfort zone design, which is more comfortable and safe for shaving, and is also suitable for sensitive skin!
(7) Performance anti-attenuation
The most feared thing is that the razor will break down not long after it is bought, or the shaving clarity and shaving efficiency are getting worse and worse, so you must pay attention to whether the brand has adjusted and tested the performance of the product in terms of performance and anti-attenuation before purchasing. Many unprofessional brands do not have performance anti-decay tests, and after the inevitable high-frequency use of shavers, the sharpness of the blade and the speed of the motor will decrease significantly, affecting the shaving effect, and the service life of such shavers is generally shorter.
Part3：剃须刀测评对比分析
The models of the shaver review in this issue are as follows:
Shaver evaluation dimension (1): blade cutting efficiency
If you want to know whether the shaving efficiency of these models is fast or not, look directly at the cutting efficiency of the blade! Brands with good blade cutting efficiency can easily cut off even if the beard is hard, long and dense, and at the same time, there is no need to worry about shaving jamming and pulling the skin.
Evaluation method: Use a razor to cut the brush head and then observe the neatness of the cut surface under a microscope, the neater the cut surface, the higher the cutting efficiency of the blade.
Analysis of assessment results:
The blades are very sharp: Mino, Braun
Both of these cut brush heads have a flat and neat cross-section, and the cutting speed is also very fast, and the cutting sharpness of the blade can be ranked in the first echelon. Whether it is a thin beard or a thick beard, it can be quickly shaved by real people, and there is no jamming and pulling the beard in the process, and the fit is more comfortable than Braun!
The sharpness of the cut is okay: Philips, Panasonic
The cross-section of the brush head observed under the microscope is slightly uneven, and a slight stuttering pull is felt when cutting. The beard cutting efficiency of the real person shaving is okay, but people with too long beards may struggle a little and will feel a little pulling on the skin.
Cutting sharpness is average: remaining models
The cutting sharpness of the remaining blades is really average, even the bristles are shaved messily, and sure enough, the effect of real shaving is also very poor, the beard is unevenly shaved, and there is more stubble residue, and there is still a lot of room for improvement!
In this review, a scene of using a razor to shave the mascara brush head was also added for comparative measurement. Since the bristles of the mascara brush head are stiff and tend to entangle the head of the shaver, the shaver requires a very high speed and blade cutting efficiency, so it can well mimic the performance of the shaver when dealing with difficult shaves.
(1) Material preparation: Prepare several mascara brush heads to ensure that the bristle length and hardness are similar.
(2) Test process: Use different shavers to shave the mascara brush head one by one, taking care to maintain the same shaving angle and strength. Observe and record the performance of the shaver when handling the mascara brush head, such as cutting efficiency, wrapping, bristle residue, etc.
(3) Result analysis: razors with high blade cutting efficiency, such as Weiye, Braun, etc., cut quickly, smoothly and smoothly without jamming, and there are few bristle residues. Razors with less efficient blade cutting will leave less neat bristles with more bristle residue and pulling bristles.
Shaver evaluation dimension (2): net whisker
Buying a razor is to shave your beard clean, and if you don't even meet the basic net beard level, you can just pass it. Some people say that repeated shaving a few times will not shave clean, but in fact, rubbing the skin repeatedly can easily lead to redness and sensitivity, irritation of hair follicles and even scratches. The quality of the motor, the material of the blade and the mesh and the fit will affect the shaving clarity.
Evaluation method: Use an electric shaver to shave the fluff of the skin of the same variety of kiwifruit, and observe its shaving clarity performance one by one!
Analysis of assessment results:
High net whiskers and no stubble: unwild, Braun
The surface of the kiwi shaved with Mino and Braun is basically no longer fluffy, and the net whiskers of both models are not bad. The real shaving also shaves the beard very cleanly, and there is basically no residual stubble, and Weiye can fit the skin more easily and flexibly, while Braun as a reciprocating type needs to use a certain force and angle to shave better.
The net whiskers are not bad: Panasonic, Philips, Xiaomi
There are still traces of fluff in some areas of the kiwifruit, but at first glance the net whiskers are okay. The chin area is more likely to be related to the fit, and the beard is slightly stiffer and longer, which is not easy to shave.
Average stubble with black spots: remaining models
Kiwifruit has a large amount of fluff remaining, and the net whisker degree is not ideal. Regardless of whether the facial curve is flat or not, a certain amount of stubble will remain, and repeated shaving will cause the aforementioned irritation.
Shaver evaluation dimension (3): Fit feeling
Many people choose manual shavers because they are flexible and have a good fit, but in fact, as long as the floating level and knife mesh structure are properly designed, the electric shaver can also achieve the ideal fit, bringing a more thorough and efficient shave. The shaver is recommended to have a preferable head, blade surface, and knife net that can be floated, and a shaver with a curved blade with a reasonable angle adjustment will make the head more flexible and conform to the skin curve in all aspects.
What are the consequences of a poor shaver fit?
(1) Shaving will leave black stubble: If the shaver fit is too poor, it will not be able to accurately capture the beard, resulting in a large amount of stubble left in the chin, around the lips, neck and other areas, and the shaving clarity and shaving efficiency will be affected.
(2) Easy to irritate the skin and not high comfort: Due to the poor fit, it is easy to produce more serious friction and pressure on the skin when shaving, especially for users with sensitive skin, this irritation may cause skin redness, pain and even allergic reactions, which will greatly reduce the comfort of shaving.
(3) Increase the difficulty of shaving: If the fit is poor, the hard-to-shave areas such as the chin require the user to spend more time and effort to shave repeatedly, which increases the difficulty and complexity of shaving.
Evaluation method: Measure the fit of the product and take a close-up shot of whether the product has a knife mesh arc structure design, and measure the floating design performance of the product one by one.
Analysis of assessment results:
The fit is good: unwild
Mino has a three-layer floating design of the knife head, knife surface, and knife mesh, and when a real person shaves, you can feel that the knife head is constantly adjusting the angle according to the changes in the facial contour, and at the same time, the mino is still a curved knife mesh structure, and the amount of beard that can be captured is also more, and the chin, neck, lip area and other hard-to-shave areas are also very suitable and easy to shave.
The fit is okay: Panasonic, Braun
These two models have a slightly less floating layer, and they are also curved knife mesh, but the arc angle is a little small, so the shaving fit is acceptable when measured by real people, and the hard-to-shave curved facial area needs to be shaved with some force.
Average fit: remaining models
The fit of the remaining models is relatively average, because the floating levels are very single, and most of them are also flat structures. When shaving in real life, it is not possible to fit various facial contours well, and more users need to shave or adjust the angle of the head to shave, which is not convenient and efficient.
Shaver measurement dimension (4): comfort of use
When searching for an electric shaver on a certain platform, you can often see a lot of posts complaining about being scratched by a razor, or causing redness and sensitivity of the skin. If the comfort of the shaver is too low, even if the shaving efficiency is high, it is never dared to use it, and a high-quality shaver should achieve efficient shaving while taking into account the comfort of shaving.
What are the signs that you're buying a product that doesn't feel comfortable?
Parameter dimension: When purchasing, you can first look at the product parameters given by the brand, such as motor material, speed, blade knife mesh material, whether the motor rotation has technical adjustment, etc., if the motor material is poor, the speed is low, the lack of power transmission adjustment, and the blade knife mesh material is also poor, the comfort is likely not high.
Experiential dimension: If you feel a noticeable pulling phenomenon while shaving, or if your skin is red, swollen, painful, or otherwise uncomfortable after shaving, then this is a clear sign of poor comfort.
Product type: In terms of fit, the general rotary shaver will do better than the reciprocating shaver, and the shaving comfort will be correspondingly higher, especially the three-layer floating rotating head.
Evaluation method: Measured by real people, statistical comfort scoring performance.
Analysis of assessment results:
Comfort is high and smooth: unwild
There is a comfort zone design added to the head of the shave, so the friction of the real shaving feeling is very small, and there are many floating levels of the no, coupled with the curved knife net, the overall fit is very good, and the overall shaving comfort is very high, and the shaving is clean and fast while not feeling skin discomfort.
Comfort is OK: Philips, Xiaomi, Feike
These real-life razors are okay, and the models with comfort zone design will be slightly more comfortable, but the floating level, knife mesh structure, blade sharpness, etc. will also affect the shaving comfort, and these models can be strengthened in these aspects simultaneously.
Average Comfort: Remaining models
The shaving comfort of the remaining models is average, the floating layer is single, the cutting efficiency of the blade is low, and the friction and stimulation of the skin during shaving is more serious.
Shaver evaluation dimension (5): blade knife mesh (quantity, whether it is imported in one piece, material)
The blade is responsible for cutting the beard directly, while the knife mesh is responsible for capturing the beard and protecting the skin from direct scratches by the blade, and the selection and quantity of both are very important. Generally speaking, the number of blades and blades is the same as the number of blades, the better, the more the number can capture more beards, better fit the skin, and improve shaving efficiency and cleanness. In terms of material, it is also recommended to choose the stainless steel material imported from one piece.
Evaluation method: Refer to the details page and ask customer service about the number of blade meshes.
Analysis of assessment results:
Through the table sorted out, the winner of this round was given to Weiye, who is a combination of the number of three cutter heads + double-layer blades + double-circle knife nets, and the shaving efficiency of real shaving is really high, and the amount of whiskers is significantly more than that of other models. At the same time, the blade knife mesh is also imported stainless steel, and the blade also adds a self-grinding design, not only the hardness is online, but the sharpness is not a problem, the cutting efficiency of the blade is very powerful, the shaving feeling is very smooth and smooth, and the comfort is very high!
Shaver evaluation dimension (6): noise
Some electric shavers shave their beards like electric drills drill walls, they are really noisy when shaving, and it is good to be able to bear them by themselves, but it is not good if they affect other people when shaving. This kind of shaver with high shaving noise is generally caused by the loose precision of the internal structure and the low quality of the motor, so if you encounter a noisy shaver, the product quality is also average to a large extent.
Evaluation method: Use the decibel meter to measure the sound decibel of the shaver at the same interval at the same distance.
Analysis of assessment results:
Noise is low and comfortable: Miye, Feike
The noise decibels measured by these two models are smaller, and the Weiye brand has a special noise reduction design, and the structural precision has also been rigorously adjusted, the vibration is light when shaving is measured, and the high-speed motor will not produce excessive noise, and the use experience is very good.
Slightly louder: Philips, Xiaomi
These models are a little louder, but not to the point of piercing the ears like an electric drill, and it is recommended that the brand do a noise reduction design, or adjust the precision of the internal structure.
Very noisy: remaining models
The remaining few measured noise decibels are relatively large, the measured shaving is particularly noisy, the ears really can't stand it, and the use experience is too poor.
Prat4: Conclusion
That's the end of this edition of the shaver review! Not only to buy a razor, but also to buy other products in advance, you also need to do a good job in advance, if you buy blindly, it is easy to become a big wrongdoer. I hope this review can let you understand what a high-quality razor is, and the shaver recommends that you pay more attention to technical strength and core performance when buying a razor, after all, appearance, portability and anything are not the most practical.
