Many head and beard shavers are rated for wet/dry use or are waterproof and can be rinsed under running water. Common cleaning features include washable housings, one‑touch open heads for easy rinsing, and rinse‑clean designs. For maintenance: rinse removable heads under warm water, use the supplied brush to remove trapped hairs, open the one‑touch head for deeper rinsing if available, and apply blade lubricant only if the manufacturer recommends it.
Common blade materials include stainless steel and hypoallergenic coatings such as titanium‑gold. Some blades have lubricating strips containing moisturizers (for example, shea butter or jojoba oil), and glide coatings (e.g., micro‑bead SkinGlide formulations) to reduce friction and irritation.
