Hair removal for women doesn't have to be a painful procedure. Pick the right razor and you'll get smooth legs, underarms and bikini lines without having a "hair raising" experience. Whether you dig disposable razors or still love the electric version, the tips below will help you choose the razor that's just right for you.
Disposable Razors
Disposable razors are the most common razor used for shaving. You can purchase disposable razors, which allow you to throw the whole razor away, and those that you just dispose of the razor head. Both are great options for shaving, although razors that have disposable blades tend to have a longer life. When shopping for a razor, look for one that has three or four blades, which will get a closer shave with less cuts than a single or double bladed razor. Many razors have a moisture strip that contains aloe or shea butter, reducing friction while you shave and thus avoiding cuts. There are razors with flex or ergonomic handles to help you shave the contour of your body and body parts. Some razors even have scented handles to make your bath time smell like the beach! Look for disposable razors and razor heads in packs of three, five, eight, ten or even twelve. You will also find razors with smaller blades meant for delicate areas like the face, neck and bikini line.
Electric Razors
These days electric razors are nothing like the one your mom may have used. They are sleek, slim and usually come in a cute color. The benefit to the electric shaver is that you don't have to use shaving cream, there is minimum risk of injury, they are better for the earth as there is no waste to discard, and many electric shavers are made for use on delicate areaswithout the risk of razor burn or bumps. Some electric shavers are even appropriate to use on the eyebrows and face. Look for electric razors that plug into the wall, those that are battery powered and rechargeable. Many electric razors are wet/ dry razors meaning they can be used in and out of the shower. Look for electric razors that are easily washable.
