Making Use Of Electric Shaver Reviews
There’s no question that the Web has enabled us to search for and research products far more thoroughly than ever before; shavers are no exception with electric razor reviews and Top 10 lists aplenty.
We look at the features of good review sites and give an opinion about what you should be looking for with each feature, so that you get the best information possible.
Information and Education
The best review sites will provide you with information and education about products, not just benefits and prices of models; that’s the essential difference between a quality review site and an affiliate marketing site.
Of course websites have to make money too, so often they need to be making their commissions from links; but if you are clicking on review expecting to find independent analysis and specs about a particular model and all you get is a picture and a price then this is misleading and will probably leave you feeling a little cheated.
Type of Information You Need About a Shaver
You should be able to examine and search a particular brand or model thoroughly on the review site in question. Ask yourself whether the site allows you to:
. Search through foil head and rotary head models
. Search through all the main brands
. Search by price
. Search by other features
. Gather more detailed information about the specs
. Easily identify the features and benefits
. Gather warranty information
General Information
As well as the ease of sorting through the various models, you may want general information about shaving or types of shavers.
The best sites will have sections including general shaving information such as features and articles on:
. Shaving tips
. Buying guides
. FAQs
. Introductory guides for the beginner
. Tips and advice on shaving with sensitive skin
. Differences between types of shavers
. Different methods of shaving
. Shaving accessories
. Tips on maintaining and cleaning a razor
All this information is aimed at educating you, the reader, and helping you make an informed decision.
Cross Section of Brands
Check whether your review site features all the major brands. Any review site wanting to give a rounded picture of the options available should feature razors from Braun, Philips Norelco, Panasonic, Remington and maybe Wahl too. All have their advantages, so all should be included.
Independent Opinion
The best review sites are not geared to promoting a particular manufacturer or brand; they will offer opinion but it will be based upon the merits of particular razor rather than the fact they make more commission from one than another.
This can be a little hard to pick up on at first, but the more sites you have experience of the more you will see which are most trustworthy.
Information for Ladies?
Complete electric razor review sites will have sections on ladies’ shavers and body groomers, clippers and trimmers, as well as the standard men’s shavers.
Top 5 or 10 Lists
Too much emphasis on Top 5 or Top 10 lists detracts from the information that is really important about a razor. People may like an at-a-glance solution to all their problems but it doesn’t usually exist!
Top 5 or 10 lists will only tell you want one person regards as the best; it probably won’t match your own opinion; they also frequently omit the latest models because few are updated regularly. We suggest treating these lists with a grain of salt.
Summary
Sites offering electric razor reviews come in many shapes and sizes and it takes time to get to know how to use them to your advantage; we hope that you have enough information here so that you can recognize when a particular site is offering you valuable and independent information, enabling you to make a more informed decision when you buy your razor.
