About our trial

Our four triallists regularly used electric shavers and had different hair and skin types. Two of them tried the rotary shavers and two of them the foil models.

Of the two who tried the rotary shavers, one had coarse hair and normal skin and the other had coarse hair and sensitive skin. Of those that used the foil shavers, one had medium hair and sensitive skin and the other fine hair and normal skin.
