Disposable razors do not cost much, but because they only last for a while, the money you spend for each disposable razor adds up. There is also the temptation to get the more expensive brands, with extra-comfort handles or triple blades. The marketing for disposable razors make sure that consumers are constantly shedding cash just to afford the best ones.

If you are sick of always changing razors, get something that will really last. An electric shaver will get the job done quicker. You do not need to wash with water and you do not need to use shaving foam. This means you will have more time to prepare breakfast, pack a lunch box and prepare for the working day ahead if you can cut your shaving time by using an electric razor instead of a disposable one.

Electric shaving is also convenient. Instead of hitting the convenience store to buy disposable razors every time you need to travel somewhere for business or leisure, you can simply pack your electric shaver, some batteries or the charger. You may need to buy a cleaning solution to clean your electric razor, but apart from this minor inconvenience, an electric razor is extremely handy to have around. As far as safety goes, it is almost impossible to cut yourself shaving if you use an electric shaver, as the latest models have safety covers and features to prevent this.

Admittedly, electric shavers are expensive. The best ones come with a case, a charger, an adapter and some batteries. It is also difficult to use an electric shaver when you travel to places where there is little or no electricity supply. However, for ordinary Americans who want to speed through the morning rush and get to the office quickly, an electric shaver is a great grooming equipment to have around. Choose an electric shaver with a battery indicator. Make sure that the unit uses rechargeable batteries.
