Electric razors, also known as electric shavers, offer an alternative to using disposable razors for daily shaving needs. In general, electric shavers are offered in two varieties. Foil-based electric shavers use a flexible metal covering over oscillating cutting blades while rotary shavers used spinning cutting blades to trim facial hairs.http://www.consumerreports.org/health/healthy-living/beauty-personal-care/personal-care/electric-shavers/overview/electric-shavers-ov.htm, Most electric shavers are rechargeable and some allow use while they are plugged into the charging station.http://www.which.co.uk/home-and-garden/bathroom-and-personal-care/reviews/electric-shavers/page/features-explained/ Some models, like the Panasonic Vortex are designed for wet or dry use and can be used in the shower. Electric razors come with a variety of cleaning methods including self-cleaning systems on higher-end models such as the Braun Series 5 shaver. Most razors require occasional blade changes about once a year, depending upon use.http://www.overstock.com/guides/faqs-about-electric-razors

Electric razors for men vary in price based on features, but generally range between $50 and $200http://www.amazon.com/Mens-Shavers-Personal-Care/b?ie=UTF8&node=3778621 Features to look for on electric razors include an easy cleaning method, quick-charge battery option, long battery life and a comfortable grip. Flexible or pivoting heads can help bring the cutting blades closer to the contours of the face and may make shaving awkward areas such as the chin easier. Selection should depend on the preferred price point and personal shaving preferences. Many electric razor manufacturers, such as Philips Norelco, offer a money-back guarantee on their products so shoppers can test out razors without a long-term commitment.http://www.consumerreports.org/health/healthy-living/beauty-personal-care/personal-care/electric-shavers/overview/electric-shavers-ov.htm,

The foil-based Braun Series 5 shaver uses a close cutting blade technology design for one-stroke shaving. The rechargeable battery allows for 50 minutes of cordless shaving and offers a quick charge option. The contour head allows for automatic adjustment for facial contours and a power comb helps lift hairs that lie close to the skin for a smoother shave. With an automatic cleaning system, the Braun Series 5 shaver can be lubricated, cleaned and dried with one button touch.http://www.amazon.com/Braun-Series-5-Mens-Shaver/dp/B000G1785S/
