Electric Shaver vs Razor and Creams/Foam

Electric

Pros

• Less time to shave.
• Once purchased, there is little in the way of further expenses.
• Parts do not need to be replaced on a regular basis.
• More mobile, you can shave on the move, in a car or a motorway service station.
• Less chance of cutting yourself shaving.

Cons

• They irritate sensitive skins.
• Wireless rechargeable shavers are more expensive.
• Cheap shavers require an electrical plugin to work, not ideal for a camping holiday.
• A quality shaver can be expensive, much more than a quality razor.

Razor with Creams and Foam

Pros

• Believed to produce a closer shave and a cleaner smoother feel.
• Electrical shavers can irritate people's skin, whereas razors tend not to.

Cons

• They can irritate and cut skin which is not smooth or is damaged.
• Creams and foam can run out at inconvenient times.
• Razor heads dull quickly and are expensive to replace.
• The year long cost in cream, foam and razors is usually more than an electrical shaver.
