The difference between epilator and shaver

The difference between epilator and shaver: working principle
The working principle of the electric epilator is the same as how girls usually use tweezers to pluck their eyebrows. It plucks each hair from the hair follicle as a whole. The hair removal head is a rolling wheel. This rolling wheel is covered with precision clamping wheels. The gaps on one side of these clamping wheels are open and the other side is clamped, just like small tweezers. When working, the rolling wheels will rotate rapidly, driving these small clamping wheels to push the hair on the skin surface from the opening side into the narrowest gap, and then pull them all away.
The working principle of an electric shaver is actually similar to that of a reciprocating shaver. The hair is cut by the interaction between the knife net on the outside of the cutter head and the blade inside. When working, hair enters the mesh of the knife net, and the blade inside will quickly move sideways and left to cut off the hair in the mesh. The blade at the top of the product is generally smaller. Because girls’ skin is more delicate, the design will pay more attention to skin care and the appearance will be slimmer.

The difference between epilator and shaver: hair removal cycle
The hair removal cycle of a female epilator is about 4 weeks, and the cycle of a female hair shaver is only about 2 weeks. From the time point of view, the female epilator takes longer, but it is a little uncomfortable when using the female epilator. From this point of view, each has its own pros and cons.

The difference between epilator and shaver: scope of application
The applicable range of electric epilators is relatively small. Because the hair needs to be removed, very sensitive parts, such as private parts, are not suitable for this type of product. When removing armpit hair, you must first cut the hair to a certain length.
The electric shaver is applicable to a wide range of areas. It can be used on all limbs and underarms, and even the bikini area can be easily treated. As long as you don't rub the skin too hard when using it, it won't cause irritation. Moreover, the shaver can shave a large area, so it is very fast and quick to use. If you have an impromptu appointment and have not done any hair removal work before, it is very suitable to use an electric shaver.

The difference between epilator and shaver: price
Due to different working principles, the price of electric shavers is relatively low, and there are many Chinese and foreign brands, ranging from tens of yuan to more than a hundred yuan. Electric epilators are relatively expensive. The brands of electric epilators available on the market include Philips, Panasonic, and Braun. Prices range from more than 100 yuan to more than 1,000 yuan.
It is not recommended to buy products under 300 yuan. On the one hand, these products have very few clamps on the rolling wheel, making it difficult to remove them quickly. The cutter head is also relatively short, and the hair removal area is small. Moreover, most of them are driven by dry batteries or need to be plugged in before they can be used. They are not suitable for use in the bathroom and are quite troublesome. Higher-priced epilators generally come with replaceable shaving heads, smart lights for capturing hair, massage and vibration functions to reduce pain, etc. In short, you get what you pay for. If you care about enjoyment, you can choose an epilator product that costs more than 800 yuan. If you just want to remove hair, buying a product with a price of 300 to 400 yuan is enough.

The difference between epilator and shaver: power supply
The female epilator uses a 220-volt power supply, so you don’t have to worry about running out of power during use;
Women's shavers use batteries, making them easier to use without the tether of a power cord.

The difference between epilators and shavers and how to use them
Do not use any moisturizing lotion before using a female epilator. Apply it only after hair removal. When using a female hair shaver, you can apply some moisturizing lotion, bath lotion, or some lotion that inhibits hair growth before use.
