Electric shaver - history of creation and advantages

September 17, 2019

Men and shaving have been associated since time immemorial. Cave paintings dating back 25,000 years prove that even then, people removed their hair with sharp stones and shells, although it was many decades before the classic shaving tool became a blade.

Before the invention of razor blades in 1901, people used shark teeth and the first knives made of bronze, and sometimes even gold, not to mention the finest steel, to prevent hair growth.

A revolution in men's grooming was the dry razor. First introduced in the United States in 1915 by German Johann Bruecker, it used rotating blades, powered by a mechanical engine, to shave facial hair.

Bruker's device has nothing in common with today's high-tech Braun devices. Nevertheless, Braun and shaving devices are a success story. In 1951, the electronic dry shaver S 50 became an absolute worldwide hit.

The S50 operated with a rotating drive. The drive was secured by a vibrating armature motor driven by a mains. Since then, battery models have become the standard and Braun is one of the experts in the power cord.

Before we reveal the new Braun cruZer series, Gentleman Blog offers the cruZer beard & head, cruZer body, and the classic Braun series 795cc. Before we reveal the winning model, here's just a quick rundown of the individual controls:

BROWN - The ultimate beard and head trimmer - shaves, styles and trims - gives your head and facial hair the desired and individual look. With the adjustable comb, the beard can be given six precise lengths. The unique sliding trimmer creates precise contours. The razor can be easily washed under the tap.

BROWN CRUZER BODY - Provides the desired style for the entire body. With electric heat and various fun attachments, body hair can be processed in three lengths.

The integrated Gillette Fusion blade provides a smooth and clean shave. The comb mode allows you to shave long hairs in six different lengths.

BROWN Series 7 795CC - The Series 7 is Braun's advanced shaver for outstanding results. Inside is a sonic motor that produces thousands of micro-vibrations per minute.

At the touch of a button, these micro-vibrations are transmitted to the skin via the dynamic shaving head. It consists of two zones of differently shaped holes and makes shaving even easier, even in problem areas of the face, such as the chin or neck.

The cleaning station cleans and dries it at the touch of a button. The Series 7 does all of this fully automatically and simultaneously.

Stiftung Warentest confirmed: Very gentle on the skin and awarded it the title of Seies 7 winner in December 2009.

In recent years, Philips beard trimmers, with their various series , have been very popular and have been winners of virtually every exhibition.
