What is the difference between a reciprocating shaver and a rotary shaver

Update:19 Feb 2022

Comparative analysis of reciprocating shavers and rotary shavers
1. Comparison of sound and vibration
The rotating sound is frivolous and sharp, and the vibration is small; the reciprocating sound is dull and strong, and the vibration is strong in the hand;
2. Shaving effect
The rotary type is slightly worse, and the skin always feels a bit astringent to touch. The reciprocating type makes the skin a bit slippery. After careful testing, in fact, the rotary shaver can still shave smoothly as long as it takes more time to carefully grind the beard. Just time-consuming. One of the advantages of rotary shavers is that long beards that grow close to the skin can be easily removed.
3. Shaving time
The single-head reciprocating type is superior because the contact surface is large, the surface is smooth, sliding on the skin without hindrance, and the shaving is very fast, usually in half a minute. The rotary shaver feels time-consuming. The two knife nets are at right angles around the edges, and the sliding resistance is large. It has to shave slowly and repeatedly, so the movement cannot slide smoothly. It is estimated that it will take more than two minutes to complete at the earliest. Shaving tasks, mainly the upper lip beard is not easy to shave with a rotary razor, it is always rough, and the chin is better to shave,
4. Floating veneer effect
After you are proficient, the comparison between the two is of little significance. You don't need to decide whether to win or lose. As long as the angle, technique, and strength are correct, you can shave comfortably. Of course, the skin will feel hot when the two are too hard.
5. About washing evaluation
The reciprocating shaver is a complete victory. When washing, you can go to the knife net and turn it on to wash quickly. It only takes a few seconds for the dirt to disappear. After washing, it is easy to shake and dry the water. To clean by the impact of water flow, it is best to use warm water to wash, dismantling the cutter head is also a tedious task, and it is laborious to wash. After washing, you can only manually dry the water droplets.
