How to choose a razor with blades or cutters
Do you shave every day? If so, you should use a quality razor with replaceable blades or a classic razor with cutters, which will give you an especially smooth shave without irritation or injury. These razors are an excellent alternative to electric shavers. We'll advise you on what to consider when choosing a razor with blades or cutters to achieve a truly smooth face.
Keep a few basic rules in mind
Among Czech men, razors with replaceable blades and classic razors with multiple cutters are very popular. These handy tools serve them well for daily wet shaving of the face and neck. They also guarantee a much smoother shave than electric shavers.
Are you currently looking for a new razor with blades or a classic razor with cutters? If you want these shaving tools to fit you perfectly, try following several rules when choosing them.
Choose quality from proven brands
Do you want to choose a truly high-quality razor with replaceable blades or a classic razor with cutters that will serve you for years? Then invest in products from proven brands that guarantee quality.
These include especially MERKUR Solingen and DOVO Solingen, which produce top-quality products. The MERKUR brand is a subsidiary of the German company DOVO Solingen. This company was founded in 1906, when it focused on manufacturing grinders, then began producing hair-cutting scissors and razors. Since 2006, DOVO Solingen has been dedicated to producing top-quality products for the barber industry, thus manufacturing razors of the highest quality.
Top quality is also represented by razors with blades and classic razors with cutters from the British brand Captain Fawcett. This world-famous brand not only produces quality tools for shaving and beard grooming, but also focuses on care products and men's fragrances.
Other criteria for choosing a razor
What else should you focus on when choosing a razor with blades or cutters? The following criteria are important for you.
- Weight of the razor
The razor you use should be heavier. This will give you a steadier hand while shaving and you will feel safer, especially if you are a beginner. The weight itself will set the razor in motion better, so you don't have to press too hard while shaving.
- Handle length of the razor
This criterion does not affect the quality of the shave, but it is about your comfort. According to your own preferences, choose a razor that feels good in your hand.
- Texture of the razor handle
Prefer razors with a textured handle. This feature will ensure a firmer grip on the razor, even when you are using shaving oil.
- Shape of the razor head
Choose a razor with a thinner head shape. This will make it easier to shave in less accessible areas, such as the skin under the nose.
The type of razor head also matters
For a classic razor, choose a head containing several Mach3 system blades. This feature will ensure a faster and more efficient shave. As for a razor with blades, a head with a closed solid bar is especially suitable for beginners. A head with a toothed comb is also very popular, which is great especially for men with long or very thick beards.
You can also choose razors with adjustable distance between the head and the blade bed. Thanks to this feature, you can change the blade angle and the size of the gap, and thus decide for yourself how thorough your shave will be.
