Hair removal is totally a personal choice – some of us religiously reach for one of the best women’s razors before hopping in the shower, while others swear by epilators, face shavers, IPL devices, or wax kits… and plenty of us don’t bother at all.
Clearly, whether you decide to remove your body hair is entirely your call. In fact, we’re firm believers that body hair is totally normal and natural. But if you do decide to go down the shaving route, let us remind you that today’s razors are nothing like the iterations of the past.
As someone with rather sensitive skin, using the right kind of razor has always been crucial if I don’t want to end up covered in itchy rashes and red dots (aka strawberry legs). Plus, I also happen to bruise like a peach, and I scar really easily too — so avoiding nicks and cuts is pretty high up on my list of priorities when it comes to picking the right razor.
So here goes, your definitive guide to the best women’s razors out there. Here’s everything you need to know.
How we tested
We know everyone’s skin and shaving preferences are different, which is why our women’s razor reviews cover a range of types – so you can find the perfect match for you. Our editors put each razor to the test on arms, legs, bikini line, and underarms in the shower, reviewing their design, how effortlessly they removed hair, and the handy extras that often come with them, from wall holders to built-in soap bars. We also considered value for money and packaging to see which ones truly deliver the best results.
