Foil vs. Rotary Shaver... Which one is best for you? While both offer an unparalleled smooth and clean shave, they use different technologies, so your type of hair and morning routine might mean you are using the wrong shaver. We'll give you a quick run down of how they work, and which would be the perfect match for you.
With a thin layer of metal that covers the blades, foil shavers are designed to make shaving more gentle for guys who have sensitive skin. The foils capture shorter hairs whilst the intercept trimmers comb and trim longer, low lying hairs, offering a closer shave compared to rotary. A foil shaver also can be more practical in delivering a more precise finish when defining straight edges, such as trimming around sideburns. Those who would benefit from a foil shaver are guys who:
- Shave every day
- Have fine hair
- Have straight hair growth
- Are looking for more precision
- Have sensitive skin
Using Constant Contour technology, the Ultimate Foil Series combines flexing foils and heads for maximum contact and comfort. The flexing foils and heads on all 3 products retract as you work your way around the face, neck and jawline for maximised contact and comfort.
These shavers typically have 3 rotating circular blades in a triangular pattern and are designed to follow the contours of your face. As you move the shaver in a circular motion, hairs slip into the outer cutters within the shave heads and are shaved. The circular motion makes it easier to manoeuvre around difficult areas such as the neck and chin, which is perfect for guys who have hair growing in different directions. Men who would benefit from a rotary shaver are:
- Those who shave infrequently
- Have thick or coarse hair
- Have hair growing in different directions
With LiftLogic Blades and Multidirectional Shave Heads, the Ultimate Rotary Series can give you that closer shave by adapting to all of your facial contours. The heads flex over your jawline, cheekbones and chin for maximum comfort and complete contact. The Ultimate Rotary Series also has an Antimicrobial Defence System which helps to protect your skin while shaving.
