Sick Of Nicks? These 14 Razors Will Give You The Softest Shave Of Your Life

Featured Image Source

Look, I’m going to be honest – shaving has not been a priority during a winter in COVID. But as the weather warms up in the Bay Area, I’m slowly easing out of my hairy hibernation.

One thing I’ve learned in my years of shaving: you need different razors for different body parts. I learned the hard way that razors for your legs shouldn’t be used for your bikini line, and you should definitely be using a specific razor for your face. These are the best razors for every need you have.

Best Electric Razor

RenFox 2 in 1 Shaver


I was scared of electric razors until I found this one. With a removable razor head and body-trimming head, as well as stainless steel blades, you can say goodbye to nicks whether your hair is wet or dry. It’s USB-rechargeable, lasting up for an hour on a full charge.

Best For Legs

Joy Razor


If you’re gonna pay the pink tax, you might as well pay for a cute, pink razor. This one has five blades, giving your legs a close shave; a non-slip handle, so it won’t fall out of your hands when going bottom-to-top; and a lubrastrip to protect from razor bumps.

Best For Travel

Alleyoop All-In-One Portable Razor


Going through TSA with a razor can be a nightmare — disposable razors are the only kinds allowed, which is horrible for the environment. This razor is TSA-approved, and it has lubricating pre-shave strip with chamomile, olive oil, allantoin, and propolis for a smooth shave.

My eyebrows are SO thick and bushy and honestly, I don’t want to pluck them all the time. Enter my new best friend: this dermaplane razor.

Flamingo is blowing up in popularity thanks to its $9 (yep, nine-dollar) razor, which has a weighted handle and five blades.
