What is the benefit of electric shaving?

Electric shavers are designed to give you the best balance between a close and gentle shave. They shave close and efficient due to their cutting element. Yet, electric shavers are very soft to your skin as the blade does not directly touch the skin, but is protected by a thin foil that goes in between the cutting element and your skin. Further, electric shavers are durable. Braun shavers are designed to be long lasting and provide you with a quality shave every day.
