Women's Razors and Blades
Women's razors and blades include simple, manually operated disposable razors, cartridge-based razors, safety razors, electric razors and trimming devices. The best women's razor for you mostly depends on the parts of your body you want to shave and whether your skin is easily irritated by shaving action.
Are Women's Razors Different From Men's?
Since women's razors and blades are generally used for body hair removal and men's razors are generally used for facial hair removal, their designs have some minor differences. Women's razors for facial hair share more attributes with men's razors than other razor selections for women:
The heads on women's razors have slightly more surface area and are better able to swivel or pivot during use. This allows for more effective use when shaving legs, armpits and bikini areas. Men's razor heads aren't as large since they're intended to be used on smaller patches of skin.
The blades on men's razors are often more tightly packed together than those of women's razors. This allows men's razors to cut coarse facial hair more effectively, but they're slightly harsher on sensitive skin.
Since women generally need to use their razors to shave difficult-to-reach areas, the handles on women's razors are usually slightly longer than those of their counterparts.
Most women's razor heads have built-in lubrication strips above and below the blades, which helps provide skin hydration and, therefore, a smoother shave. Some men's razors also include a lubrication strip, but in most cases, they're intended for use with shaving cream or gel.
Which Women's Razor Gives the Closest Shave?
A safety razor, which uses a single straight razor as its blade, provides the closest shave possible. This design offers less built-in protection against nicks and cuts than traditional disposable or cartridge-based razors, but once you've mastered the art of using it, you may find it to be the most convenient of all options.
Razors with multiple blades usually provide the fastest shave since they're cutting hair multiple times with each pass, but that effective cutting action can be problematic if you have sensitive, easily irritated skin.
What Is the Best Women's Razor for Sensitive Skin?
Electric razors don't provide quite as close a shave as manually operated razors, and they're also somewhat more expensive. However, their design doesn't tug on your skin in the same way that cartridge-based and disposable razors do. You might also consider groomers and trimmers for hair removal. They're similar to electric razors but meant for the precision shaping of hair, making them a good choice for sculpting your eyebrows or perfecting your bikini line.
