Men's Electric Shaver Information

Despite all of the research and interest in electric shavers, studies say only 30 percent of men who shave use electric shavers. Most men say electric shavers don't work as well as manual razors. Waxing, electrolysis and laser hair removal are all methods used by women but are so rarely mentioned in reference to men that they haven't yet become viable alternatives to shaving. ConsumerSearch has a separate report on manual razors. The best models cost as little as $8.

Two shaver forums, the Electric Shaver Page and the Electric Razor Rap are the best sources for news, frequently asked questions and surveys.

"The Complete Book of Men's Health" provides interesting information about the differences between shaving with an electric razor and a manual razor as well as tips for using both.

In a slideshow, Esquire magazine points out the latest trends in facial hair and how to achieve the best looks.

In addition, manufacturers' websites are the best places to compare features within model lines:
