Best Face Razors for Women
1. BEST OVERALL FACE RAZOR
Finishing Touch Painless Hair Remover
PROS
- Built-in light illuminates targeted area
- Works quickly
- No skin prep or rinsing required
CONS
- Not as detailed instructions
Touting more than 140,000 reviews, this electric face razor gets a lot of hype for being tiny but mighty. Its compact size gives you a better grip for curving along the contours of the face. All it takes: Simply switch on the device to activate the spinning head and light, then gently press it against your skin.
A GH editor added it to her daily skincare regimen and says it’s painless and non-irritating even on sensitive skin. She also swears it trims down on time while giving an impressively close shave sans nicking. Amazon shoppers felt similarly but wished for more detailed instructions on when/how often to empty the chamber that holds the trimmings.
2. BEST VALUE FACE RAZOR
Tinkle Eyebrow Razor Pack
PROS
- Great bargain
- Doesn’t cause irritation
CONS
- Not meant to last
Shape eyebrows and remove dark upper lip hair with the GH-editor and esthetician-favorite. Pfropper appreciates their “precision and versatility in shaping eyebrows.” One of our staffers adds: “They’re affordable and come in a pack of six, but I still get a lot of use out of one razor.”You receive two packs of three razors, and each comes with its own protective blade cover.
A makeup artist left a review calling it a great tool to help her achieve flawless makeup application since it removes dead skin and peach fuzz. And she’s noticed no irritation on her sensitive skin with the razors. While shoppers found that they lasted several uses, know that they’re disposable and will become dull with each use.
3. BEST FACE RAZOR SUBSCRIPTION
Billie Dermaplane Starter Kit
PROS
- Easy to get replacement blades
- Wider head for fewer passes
- Curved handle
CONS
- More difficult to reach tighter crevices
Amazon’s Choice and GH editor-favorite Billie razor service comes with a starter kit of a razor handle and two refill cartridges. The refillable razor features a curved handle that’s easy to hold and a wide blade head that covers more surface area. You’ll never have to worry about running out of blades for this one — the brand will send you new blades in monthly increments as you please.
One of our editors recently got their hands on the Billie. “I really appreciate the angled head — it makes it so much easier (and safer) to remove fuzz around my mouth. Plus, I love the super cute design.” Just keep in mind that because it has a wider head, you may sacrifice precision when it comes to shaping eyebrows and tighter crevices.
4. BEST FACE RAZOR FOR EYEBROWS
Schick Silk Touch-Up Facial Razor
PROS
- Great value
- Works quickly
- Protective cover allows you to safely shape eyebrows
CONS
- Doesn’t leave skin as soft feeling
Amazon’s #1 best-selling face razor hails from top-tested razor brand Schick and touts a 4.6-star rating from 180,000 reviews. Pfopper names it a favorite because of its “high-quality blade and a built-in guard to prevent nicks and cuts while exfoliating the skin.” That tiny opening is particularly helpful when touching up eyebrows.
Users online marvel that shaving takes mere minutes and that the razors provide a close shave. While many agree it takes an excellent whack at dermaplaning, several recommend following up with a toner and a face moisturizer for softer results.
5. BEST DISPOSABLE FACE RAZOR
Schick Quattro Disposable Razor
PROS
- Ergonomic handle
- Non-irritating shave
CONS
- Not as economical
GH Beauty Lab experts found that Schick’s disposable razor performed better than most refillable razors during testing. Consumer testers liked the pivoting head and the fact that the handle was easy to hold, allowing for total control around hard-to-reach areas.
Testers reported seeing long-lasting smoothness after using it, along with “no irritation, whatsoever.” Otherwise, an online shopper reiterated that you’re getting a disposable razor: “Some other disposables I have been able to get another use out of, but these I trash after each use.”
6. BEST MINI FACE RAZOR
Kai About Face Eyebrow Shaper
PROS
- Small head makes for better control
- Great for travel
- Affordable price
CONS
- Takes practice
These bargain About Face eyebrow shapers feature a shorter razor head compared to similar brands, which provide more control with each stroke. Many fans of the discontinued Noxema razors turn to this alternative because they find that the Kai razors perform almost exactly alike. Overall, the razors are very lightweight and great for travel.
“This [razor] is tiny and fits well in my makeup bag,” one reviewer says. “Totally recommend it to make your face silky smooth for easy makeup and sunscreen application!” Quite a few shoppers found the mini razor had a pretty sharp cut, so exercise a lighter hand.
7. BEST FACE RAZOR FOR DERMAPLANING
StackedSkincare Dermaplaning Face Exfoliating Tool
PROS
- Easy to use
- Creates a smooth base for makeup
CONS
- Expensive
This sleek dermaplaning tool from Stacked Skincare was created to bring a professional hair removal and exfoliating treatment into your own home. The easy-to-hold aluminum handle and large blade surface allows you to safely remove peach fuzz and dead skin using small, gentle strokes. Shoppers enjoyed the way makeup and skincare looked afterward.
“The dermaplaning replacement tool may be a bit pricey, but it’s undeniably worth the investment,” attests one reviewer. “It does an exceptional job of removing all the unwanted fuzz from my face, leaving my skin smoother than ever. It’s become an essential part of my skincare routine, and the results make it well worth the cost.”
8. BEST DOUBLE-EDGED FACE RAZOR
Bevel Safety Razor for Men
PROS
- Great for coarse hair types
- Less likely to cause irritation or bumps
CONS
- Pricey upfront cost
The double-edged blades on Bevel’s safety razor are designed to prevent irritation and bumps on skin, while effectively removing even the most coarse, curly hairs. It is a pricey option, but is meant to be used many times and thanks to its sustainable design, it can be recycled when you are done with it.
“As a woman who was accustomed to using plastic razors, I had to get used to the weight of this shaver, but it is worth every penny,” shares one Amazon reviewer. “I haven’t had a razor bump since I started using this razor and my skin doesn’t feel irritated after using it.”
