Shaver Accessories & Replacement Parts for Electric Shavers

Practical Accessories for Shavers & Hair Clippers

Since many people were unable to visit the hairdresser during lockdown, some had to cut and style their own hair. But even after hair salons reopened, many people have continued to use the skills they taught themselves. Understandably, sales in the accessories for shavers & hair clippers market have therefore risen sharply.

Shaver Cleaning Brushes

If you regularly use your shaver with an attachment, you will also need to clean it frequently. For exactly this purpose, our shaver shop at Electropapa offers a wide selection of different shaver cleaning brushes from our own brand vhbw. By cleaning your shaver regularly with our cleaning brushes, you can extend its lifespan. This helps prevent bacteria from accumulating and your shaver from becoming clogged, allowing you to achieve the best possible shave every time.

Shaver Attachments

Almost everyone owns a shaver with an attachment, as these devices are extremely popular among both hairdressers and private users. When purchasing a shaver, a shaver attachment is usually included. However, anyone who wants a really thorough and neat shave – whether for their head hair or beard – will soon realise that the standard accessories supplied are often not enough. Even if you already own a shaver with replacement blades made of ceramic, there is still plenty to learn from this article. The importance of attachments becomes particularly clear when you look at the different beard trimmer attachments needed for trimming a beard. For this reason, we will first focus on this important topic.

How Do You Use a Shaver Correctly?

Shaving with an electric shaver with a long-hair trimmer combined with the right trimmer attachment is popular for good reason – the result is smooth enough for most people, the process is quick and the risk of injury is considerably lower. But before choosing a shaver attachment, you should make sure that your beard is dry. It therefore makes sense to shave before showering. You can then start shaving by moving the shaving head over the skin with a little pressure, but evenly. Thanks to the design of modern electric shavers, injuries during shaving are relatively unlikely. This is why factors that are important for wet shaving, such as the direction of shaving, are irrelevant here.

By the way, if you want to maintain the contours of your beard and generally keep it below a certain length, it makes sense to use attachments for your beard trimmer. Once you have finished, you can apply aftershave if necessary. It is also beneficial to clean the usually removable shaving head together with the shaver attachments immediately after shaving to ensure the longest possible lifespan for your shaver. For thorough cleaning, a suitable trimmer attachment and much more, it is always worth visiting our shaver shop and exploring our range of shaver replacement parts!

How Do You Use Hair Clippers?

If you want to cut the hair on your head using hair clippers, you may still need several different attachments. Fortunately, this is not a problem, as there are many attachments for hair clippers – usually available in seven different sizes: 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12 and 15 millimetres. This gives you plenty of flexibility if you are not entirely sure how long or short you want your hair to be. You can, for example, start with 9 or 12 millimetres and then adjust the length gradually.

It is beneficial to cut from front to back when using an attachment for hair clippers. Start in the middle at the front and move the cutting head across the entire head. Then work on both sides before finally trimming the hair at the back of the neck – you will find tips on trimming the neckline further below. This approach helps you achieve the most even cut possible.

Another method is to cut the hair to different lengths. For this, you will naturally need various shaver attachments. Start with the areas where you want the hair to remain longest. Once these sections have been cut, the next step is to change the cutting length of the hair clippers or replace the attachments for hair clippers and move on to the shorter sections. It is important to blend the transitions between different hair lengths carefully so that the finished hairstyle looks good. First, remove the attachment for hair clippers to ensure the most precise cut possible. For this technique, it is helpful to use a comb by placing it against the transition area and guiding the cutting head over the comb – at a slight angle away from the head – to create a smooth transition. Finally, you can move on to the neckline, where there are a few things to consider: if you have a rather short but wide neck, you should trim the hair into a tapered shape. For a longer, narrower neck, a straight line makes the neck appear wider.

If you follow all the tips above and make sure your hair clippers and their individual components are always in excellent condition, with a little practice you will achieve the best results with your shaver every time. Is your shaving head broken or your blade blunt, and do you need replacement parts for your hair clippers? Then take a look around our online shop – you are sure to find the right accessories for shavers & hair clippers among the products from our own brand vhbw!

Shaver Batteries

Convenience is often an important factor when it comes to shavers. The lifespan of the device depends heavily on this. It is therefore beneficial to buy a waterproof device with a battery life of at least 50 minutes. An electric shaver with a long-hair trimmer, in particular, tends to lose its charge considerably faster. Cleaning such a device and the shaver attachment is easy when you are already in the shower.

By the way, a large proportion of cases in which electric shavers suddenly become unusable are actually caused by a battery that no longer works. That is why it can often be worthwhile taking the device to a specialist in shaver repairs, who can first check whether the shaver battery is defective. This is particularly advisable for expensive shavers. If you already know what is causing the problem, you are sure to find suitable shaver replacement parts in our online shop.

Shaver Power Adapters

The shaver power adapter is almost as important as the battery. If the device is used while connected to the mains, make sure the cable is flexible and long enough. Ideally, your power adapter should also have a fast-charging function that compensates for small mistakes, such as forgetting to check your electric shaver's battery level.

Shaver Cutting Units

If a pleasant shaving experience matters to you, you should not forget about your shaver's cutting unit. Only when it remains in near-optimal condition most of the time will your shaving experience be smooth and free from frustration. After a successful shaver repair, you will notice the difference every time. If the cutting unit is also of high quality, this naturally offers additional advantages. However, if it contains a relatively large number of components and these are not properly maintained, irregularities during shaving and even injuries can still occur.

Shaver Heads

The shaving head is the part of the shaver that combines the blades, shaving foil and often the frame. It therefore forms the unit that comes into direct contact with sensitive facial skin and plays the most important role in the shaving experience. You should pay particular attention to changes in the sound of your shaver, as these could indicate possible damage. In rare cases, you may also be able to see defects while the shaver is operating.

Shaver Blades

The blades are among the most important factors for a successful shave. It is often worthwhile choosing ceramic replacement blades, of which you can find a wide selection in our shop. Such blades are extremely durable and hardly become blunt – offering a clear advantage over conventional steel blades. Your “new” shaver with replacement blades can now get straight to work and perform beautifully. However, it is especially important to exercise caution with very sharp blades to avoid injuries.

Shaver Protective Caps

The protective caps of your shavers are usually the most neglected components. They help keep the blades sharp and protect them from accidental contact with pointed objects. Such contact could compromise not only the sharpness of the blades but also the safety of your skin. Fortunately, there is plenty of choice from established brands online, making this small obstacle easy to overcome.
