Shall I Choose Foil or Rotary Shaver?
Quick Links
Foil shavers are preferable for those who have straight hair growth and keep their shaver in fine form, cleaning the blades often. Rotary shavers, meanwhile, fit those with rough and curly hair. They do not need to be cleaned quite as often as foil shavers.
If you are a person who has coarse hairs, foil shaver is the best type you can go for. Rotary shaver is very efficient too especially if you want high-end shavers. Different people have different taste and preference when it comes to their skin and hair type. The only way you can find which type works best for your hair and skin, is by using both type of shavers. However, have in mind that the quality of the shaver will highly contribute to the efficiency of the shaver and not because it is a foil or rotary shaver.
