What is a razor for bristles for?

An electric shaver with adjustable bristle length is a device designed to trim or trim the hair on the face, as well as other parts of the body. Using the device, you can leave exactly the length of hair that is required - this is the main difference from a standard razor. Thus, a two- or three-day bristle remains on the face, the hairs of which have the same length.

Features and description of the razor with adjustable bristle length

In a razor with adjustable bristle length, unlike conventional electric razors, two knives with teeth are used as a working tool, one of which is always stationary, and the other, on the contrary, is constantly in motion. Knives are located nearby each other. First, the hair falls between the teeth of a fixed knife, and then is cut off with a second knife, movable. There are a lot of teeth on the knives, therefore, the haircut is fast.

Like other devices designed for cutting and shaving hair, trimmers have their own characteristics. The main ones include the method of recharging and power and the quality of the blades. In addition, there must be a special adjustment to control the length of the cut hair.

Most modern devices for this purpose are powered by built-in rechargeable batteries. But some models can only work on mains or standard batteries. The latter option, although it seems less convenient, but under certain conditions is extremely necessary. Especially such a trimmer is useful to travelers and outdoor enthusiasts: even when fishing or hunting, where there is no electricity, thanks to the battery trimmer, you can take care of the bristles. In urban areas, devices that operate on a mains or battery are more convenient and economical. In the latter case, it should be noted that the trimmer model, which runs on battery power, may not turn on when the batteries are discharged until they are fully charged. This must be taken into account and always keep a fully charged device on hand.

Battery operated trimmer

Battery life on average is 40 minutes. Inexpensive models allow you to shave no more than half an hour, in more modern trimmers this value is increased to 75 minutes.In the latter case, charging the battery with confidence is enough for a few haircuts. The greater the battery capacity of the trimmer, the longer the device charges. Those who don’t like to wait should prefer models with a quick charge function, which will greatly speed up the process. The presence of an indicator on the case is also very convenient, as it allows you to evaluate how many haircuts have enough charge.

Blades are a very important element of any device for shaving and cutting, including razors for creating bristles. The higher the quality of the material from which they are made, the longer they can be used without the need for replacement. Now almost all models of such electric razors are equipped with stainless steel blades, and this is quite enough. In professional devices, ceramic blades are found. Sharpening the trimmer blades yourself, alas, is impossible. Replacing them with new ones will often cost almost the same as a new device. However, models with self-sharpening blades are also on the market. Such blades do not lose their sharpness, which means that the quality of their work does not decrease.

Another important feature that any razor for hard bristles has is the ability to adjust the length of the hair. In this case, two options are possible: removable nozzles or setting the blades. The first option is not very convenient, since it implies a constant change of nozzles to select the optimal length. Adjusting the length of hair cutting with the help of blades is more convenient. In most cases, this function allows you to select a length from 0.5 to ten millimeters, in some models the minimum value is 0.2 millimeters. It is extremely difficult to mix up the set parameter, since its value is displayed on the case.

To trim the bristles, a special nozzle is included in the kit of the grinder, which is worn on the shaving head and allows you to adjust the length of the hair left on the face. This is a convenient and practical device, as it can be used both for shaving and for trimming bristles. In addition, the possibility of dry and wet shaving in this device can significantly reduce the risk of skin irritation.
