Reviewers point out that you'll use it every day, so spending money on a good shaver now is better than continually buying cheaply made models. The two types of electric shavers are rotary and foil. Foils offer a closer shave, but are unable to cut longer hairs. Rotary shavers can cut long hairs, and are easier to maneuver around difficult areas like the chin and neck, but they don't get as close as the foils. However, foil shavers' surfaces are delicate, and though they're easier to clean, they're also easier to break.
Rotary shavers are sturdier than foils, but require more effort to keep clean.
Reviewers say this is the fastest, closest shave on the market, with blades that move 13,000 times per minute. The Linear's floating triple heads feature multi-direction inner blades and a center slit blade to ensure that every bit of stubble is clipped away. As a foil-type razor, it's best for those who shave every day. Though experts say they're considerably slower than other models, they feature a reliable 800-rpm motor. The faster the blades move, the closer the shave and the less irritation.
