The best women’s razors for removing hair

Depilation with wax and electric epilator can be a long and painful step for those who wish to remove their hair. The simple, quick, painless, but also inexpensive solution remains the razor. However, it too has some drawbacks. It must also be handled with care because we must not forget that there remains a sharp blade which can cut if it is used incorrectly on the legs, armpits or bikini line.

Fortunately, brands have understood the needs of women and adapted to their curves to reduce this risk. Like many beauty products, not all razors are created equal. Some are much better thought out and make life easier. Here are our best razors for women and some tips for use, before, during and after your shaving session, especially to avoid ingrown hairs.

This 5-blade razor is perfect for a quick, simple and completely painless shave session. Its lubricated strips allow you to go everywhere without cutting. Designed for the most sensitive skin, it shaves short hairs and leaves legs feeling soft and light.

Choose your razor

First of all, you should know that the more blades the razor has, the less likely it is to cause you cuts. A 3-blade razor is therefore gentler and more respectful of your skin than a razor that has only one blade.

Then you can also do something for the planet and opt for rechargeable razors. Keep the handle and simply change the blades. A more ecological, but also economical way to shave.

Usage tips

The main disadvantage of the razor is the fact that regrowth appears more quickly but also some ingrown hairs. To make your shaving session easier, take care of your legs to delay regrowth and avoid those famous ingrown hairs that can be painful, here are some pre and post shaving tips.

How to prepare your skin before shaving

In order to be sure that the razor removes all your hair, the exfoliation step is very important. A coarse-grained exfoliant will get rid of dead surface cells, while releasing the hairs that are ready to come out. In addition, this step also allows you to keep your legs soft and smooth. For the most delicate and sensitive skin, you can just as well opt for a scrub with finer and less aggressive grains.

Then, it is essential to put some shaving foam or gel on the legs before shaving. It allows the device to slide more easily, to limit cuts but also to hydrate the skin so that the razor does not dry out the epidermis.

While shaving

Your movements must always be delicate, slow and wide enough to limit the risk of cuts. To ensure you get rid of all surface hair, remember to shave against the direction of hair growth. For the legs, for example, it is done from bottom to top, while for the armpits, it is done from top to bottom.

Also avoid going over the same area several times, at the risk of irritation. Be more delicate and slow on areas with curves like ankles or knees. Remember that the tight to be able to pass the razor blades without danger.

After-shave care

Once you have finished shaving, you now need to take care of your skin. You can perform a second post-shave exfoliation, more gentle this time, to get rid of small imperfections or residue remaining on the surface of the epidermis. Now that it is bare, the skin is much more vulnerable and prone to the risk of dryness and “crocodile skin”. The cream is therefore the essential step after using the razor. Preferably, choose it moisturizing, alcohol-free and fragrance-free. These last two cause tingling on potential micro cuts in your legs.

In addition, the moisturizer helps control the production of sebum and therefore somewhat delay the appearance of hair regrowth.
