Which car is better to choose?

For home use, you better get a vibrating or rotary machine. The vibration device is a budget option, respectively - it has a number of disadvantages:

• Too noisy.
• Auto shut off after 20 minutes of cutting.

• During the haircut, the machine should be pressed firmly to the head and removed only when moving from one zone to another.
• Make sure that the angle of the machine is the same in each of the areas of the head.
• The more movements, the better the result, so drive the machine over the head until all the protruding hairs disappear.
• Always make a visor for eyebrows and eyelashes, in case you want to trim the bang with a machine.
• If the man’s head is uneven in some areas, then they should be treated with a longer nozzle in order to hide these irregularities.
• Try to change the nozzles, because if you shave the whole head with the same one, it will look like a ball.
