Electric Shavers: How To Choose Between Rotary Blades Or Foil Blade Shavers

If you look at electrical shavers, you will basically find two types. The rotary blade technology, used by Philips and some of Remingtons models, and the foil technology used mainly by Braun and Panasonic. Both types do the same job - but in very different ways. I have decided - as your Shaving Detective - to find out what you should go for!

The Rotary Blades

But first let me explain the differences between the two.

The rotary blade shavers have a series of rotary cutters attached. Typically three rotating blades placed in a triangular pattern. To get the best shave, you will have to move the shaver across your face in slow, rotating movements - almost as if you were applying a nice skin tonic.

The foil shavers

Braun has chosen a different approach to electrical shaving. Their shavers consist of a series of knifes hidden under a rectangular metallic foil, designed to raise the hairs and guide them close to the vibrating knifes. Long, even movements of the shaver is the key to success here.

Which to choose?

So which one should you buy? Well, for me the answer has been quite clear. I need both! For the last 7 years, I have used a combination of the two types.

Honestly, I must have a strange face... For my face and cheeks, the rotary blades really do a great job. But on my chin and neck, where the skin is slightly looser, the foil shaver is so much better for me.

If I use my Philips shaver for the entire shave, I will have to spend much more time shaving my chin - and I will eventually end up with irritated skin. Using my Braun foil shaver for the entire shave, will result in a beautiful chin - but will leave the cheeks less soft compared to the Philips shaver.

Not for everyone?

Compared to shaving with a razor, the electrical shavers win by far when it comes to convenience and time. It is so much easier to just pick up the electrical shaver, switch it on and get the work done, compared to preparing the razor, foam and water and slowly working your way across your face and chin.

But the dry shaving methods used by most electrical shavers may cause some irritation to your skin. If your shaver allows you to shave on a wet face, you could apply loads of warm water or a good pre-electric shaving oil just before shaving.

If your shaver cannot cope with the wet face, you could try to put a warm, wet towel on your face for a few minutes and then dry your face afterwards. This will warm your whiskers a bit, and probably lessen the skin irritation.

You should expect the skin irritation to be worst in the first few weeks of using the shaver. This is true if you have never used an electrical shaver before - OR if you are trying to switch between a rotary blade and a foil blade shaver (or the other way around).

In Denmark, where I live, both Braun and Philips offer a 30 or 60 day money back guarantee. You can buy the shaver and use it for some weeks before deciding if it's the right one for you. This is fantastic, as it will allow you to try out the different methods before deciding which shaver to use for the years to come..

How will I know when to replace my Braun foil and cutter block?

I purchased a Braun Activator Shaver model 8585 last year, and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, it got very noisy. It still shaves OK, but makes a ton of noise compared with about a week ago. I am thinking it it too early to replace the foil and cutter block as one website suggests one should replace them every 18 months. It has not been near 18 months yet, and you know they tell you to replace them sooner than needed just to make more money. I went to the Braun website, and it was useless. I am wondering whether I need to replace the foil and cutter block or send it in as it is still under warranty? I hate to send it in as I don't want to be without it for long.

I used to work in a drugstore and I sold these items to men regularly. In my experience I noticed in talking with these customers, that how coarse their beards were, and how long they went in between shaves, determined when they changed their elements. I suggest that if you are experiencing any nicks and cuts, or any other abnormality it's time to replace.
