Electric Shavers

Yes. You can bring an electric shaver in both carry-on and checked baggage.

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) lists electric shavers as allowed in both carry-on and checked bags in its official Electric Shaver “What Can I Bring?” guidance.

Packing tip: Use a protective cap/case and make sure the power button can’t be pressed accidentally in your bag.

Yes, absolutely. Because all Metz electric shavers feature an IPX7 waterproof rating and are designed for both wet and dry shaving, you can safely and comfortably use them with shaving cream, gel, or foam.

Best practices for "wet" shaving with your Metz shaver:

• Choose the right lather: Use a thin, easy-rinsing shaving gel. Very thick foams can sometimes gunk up the shaving head and reduce the efficiency of the blades.
• Rinse as you go: Since your Metz shaver is 100% waterproof, you can easily rinse the shaving head under running water during your shave to keep the blades clear and performing at their peak.
• Take it in the shower: Thanks to the IPX7 rating, you can comfortably bring your shaver into the shower for the ultimate convenience and a smoother glide.

To get the smoothest results from your Metz electric shaver, use light pressure, move slowly, and match your technique to the shaving head type.

Step 1: Prep your hair and skin

• Trim first if needed: If you have 3+ days of growth, trim it down before shaving. Electric shavers perform best on shorter stubble.
• Cleanse: Wash your face with warm water to remove oil and soften the hair.
• Choose wet or dry: Because your Metz shaver is 100% waterproof, you can either dry your skin completely for a quick dry shave, or apply your favorite shaving gel/foam for a refreshing wet shave.

Step 2: Use the right motion
Electric shavers generally fall into two categories, and your technique should match the design:

• Foil shavers (one long, narrow shaving surface): Work best with smooth, straight strokes (up and down).
• Rotary shavers (multiple round shaving heads): Work best with small, circular motions.

Step 3: Maintain consistent angle and light pressure

• Keep it flat: Hold the shaver so the entire shaving head stays flat against your skin.
• Don’t press hard: Let the precision blades do the work. Pressing down increases skin irritation and won’t actually make the shave closer. Focus on maintaining the correct angle and avoid doing too many repeated passes over the exact same spot.

Step 4: Refine tricky areas
For a flawlessly close finish:

• Revisit your jawline and neck with a gentle second pass, remembering to keep the pressure light.
• Use your free hand to gently stretch the skin tight in these tricky areas. This creates a flat, even surface for your Metz shaver to glide across, making it much easier to catch flat-lying hairs.

To keep your Metz electric shaver performing at its best and to protect your skin, clean it lightly after every use and perform a deep clean weekly. A clean shaver delivers a closer cut and a much smoother glide.

Quick Clean (After each shave)

• Turn the shaver off.
• Pop off the shaving head/cassette.
• Gently tap out loose hair (do not bang the delicate foil against the sink).
• Rinse it out: Because your Metz shaver features an IPX7 waterproof rating, you can easily rinse the head under warm running water. Using a drop of liquid soap can also help break down shaving gel and skin oils.
• Let all parts air-dry completely before reassembling and storing.
• Important Note: Never use a cleaning brush directly on the outer foil or mesh, as this can easily damage the precision cutting surface.

Deep Clean (Weekly)

• Disassemble the shaving head as far as your model allows.
• Thoroughly rinse the components under warm water with a small amount of liquid soap.
• Use your cleaning brush only on the inside cutter block area to sweep away stubborn stubble—again, avoiding the foil/mesh entirely.
• Leave the components apart to air-dry completely.

Key Takeaway: If your electric shaver suddenly feels “rough” or seems to be pulling hairs, the fix is usually a thorough cleaning to remove hair and oil buildup, rather than changing your shaving technique!

The best electric shaver is the one that fits your routine—travel vs. at-home, dry vs. wet, and how much you care about compactness and extras.

Below are four options, with a simple “who it’s for” breakdown (specs are taken from each product page).
