First, I read the user manual. It’s actually important to do that with these because some can be used wet and dry, and some only dry; some with soap or cream, and some only without. I also took down the battery life and charge times (to compare them with my experience), cleaning and maintenance instructions, return policy and warranty so that I could see which ones of the bunch were optimal. Some charge times are really long—a full 24 hours. Editor testing and review notes: “My main takeaway for this razor is that it is a solid option for those who can’t be bothered with all the bells and whistles that you probably won’t use anyway. However, it did have one LED light underneath so I could see what I was doing and whether I needed to do a second pass or not, but otherwise, this is a simple, no frills razor that will require a few passes depending on the length of your hair. On shorter stubble, I needed to do three to four passes to eliminate the hair completely, but the razor caught the longer hairs quite well for trimming. I have sensitive skin and was surprised that even with multiple passes on my legs, there wasn’t any irritation.” You don’t have to use shaving cream with the Philips SatinShave for wet or dry shaving. If you prefer, you can use shaving cream or soap when using it for wet shaving. However, I’ve noticed that other razors’ instructions recommend avoiding the use of shaving gels or oils because they can clog the blades. For dry shaving, it’s best to start with clean, dry skin—no deodorant or lotions. Can The Philips SatinShave Prestige Be Used In The Shower?

Meridian is a mainstay in the electric razor space, offering just a few hero tools that are suitable for all genders and all areas of the body. The Trimmer Original may be the brand’s most basic offering, but it’s not short on special features. Let’s start with the ceramic blade —this material is safe for sensitive skin, unlikely to rust, and delivers good glide as it trims the coarsest of hairs. The Trimmer also comes with two guide combs (one 3 to 6 millimeters and another 9 to 12 millimeters) for customizable shaping wherever you’d like to groom. The waterproof design has a weighty feel and a matte finish for easy gripping and control if you’re using the device in the shower. Discover smoothness day after day*. Designed to glide smoothly for a skin friendly, close shave. The floating foil follows the contours of your body for a close yet gentle shaving experience.

If you’re new to dermaplaning — using a blade to remove fine peach fuzz and dead skin on your face —Dermaflash’s Luxe+ Advanced Sonic Dermaplaning and Peach Fuzz Removal kit contains everything you need to try it home safely. The brand debuted this new-and-improved dermaplane device last fall, and it’s complete with souped up sonic technology, sharper (but still safe!) razor edges, and multiple intensity settings. The included skin-prepping gel cleanser contains ingredients that remove excess oil from the surface of your skin, allowing a cleaner shave. Once you’re done dermaplaning, follow with a cold rinse and plenty of moisturizer —your skin will sop up all those ingredients with dead cells out of the way. Our testers evaluated a total of 25 women’s electric shavers, including a mix of razors, trimmers, and epilators. Each razor and hair removal device was tested at least twice during the course a three month long period (though some of these options are regularly used by our editors). Testers used these electric shavers — where directions allowed — on wet and dry skin, as well as on several different body areas, from legs to areas with pubic hair. Among other factors, we inspected electric razors for women for key qualities, such as their ease of use, safety features, blade materials, and how our skin felt after using the shavers. Pritech Lady Shaver: For those interested in an electric razor for legs, Pritech’s Lady Shaver is an exceptional option for the cleanest of clean shaves. Our testers were impressed by how smoothly and evenly the tool glides through coarse hairs. And the medium-sized razor head is just the right size for use on pubic hair, too. Those with sensitive skin can sometimes find that regular shaving can cause skin irritation. The Philips SatinShave Advanced has rounded trimmer tips that prevent your skin from scratches, leaving you with soft, smooth skin.

Braun Epilator Silk-épil 9 Hair Removal for Women: Our testers found this epilator difficult to operate, as the device has multiple settings that are difficult to understand without carefully studying the product’s manual. Braun’s newer epilator elbowed this option out, as the upgraded version has a more ergonomic design and practical attachments for prepping skin before use. Battery life: “The longer the battery life, the better,” says Dr. Chimento. Battery life is a common qualm with electric razors — ones that die on the job leave you stranded with stubble. We personally vetted each electric razor on this list, noting the battery duration during multiple shaves. Allow rechargeable options to fully charge before using them for the best experience. Yes, the Philips SatinShave Prestige can be used in the shower or bath. However, it can’t be submerged; you shouldn’t drop it into water or other liquids. How Do You Maintain The Philips SatinShave Prestige Electric Shaver?Dr. Nazarian says that electric razors "can be used on either dry or wet skin, allowing for more flexibility in your routine," she says. However, it's important to note that you'll get a closer shave with manual razors—Dr. Nazarian says that this is because they "have more surface tension as they glide across the skin," while electric razors don't cause the same surface tension. If you’re planning on using an electric razor in the shower, make sure that you buy one that is waterproof. Olivia Ciglianois the Commerce Writer and Producer at WWD and Footwear News.

When she’s not writing shopping content at WWD and FN, she can be found searching for a holy grail in a Brooklyn thrift store, surveilling newsstands for fashion magazines, or scrolling TikTok to zero in on new beauty trends to try —hair removal techniques, included. Cigliano tested multiple electric shavers for women on coarse and fine hair to select the best options for different needs. Versatility: Some electric shavers are designed for a singular area of the body, but still, our testers noted if these options were friendly for use on wet or dry skin. Others include attachments that retrofit the device for use from head to toe, however the versatility of these devices depends on their ability to remove hair effectively and safely in all of the suggested areas of use. We tested each electric razor on the intended areas of use, and any that fell short in certain areas were removed from our list.

Impressively lightweight, yet effective, Krovena’s Electric Shaver is an excellent choice for those new to the electric razor category. Where some trimmers have multiple settings and attachments, this razor has just one three-blade shaver head and a singular on and off button. On top of the simple razor design, Krovena’s shaver includes a built-in LED light that illuminates the area you’re shaving, ensuring you don’t accidentally miss a spot or slice your skin. Because of the streamlined design and safety features, our testers rate it as one of the best electric shavers for teenage girls or tweens. According to New York City dermatologist Dr. Hadley King, there are many additional benefits to using a women’s electric razor — including less of a risk of pesky ingrown hairs. “Ingrown hairs (skin-colored or red bumps that contain a trapped hair growing down into the skin) are more likely to occur when hair is curly, and/or when skin covers the area where hair is growing,” Dr. King explains. “Therefore ingrown hairs can be decreased by not shaving closely — for example, use an electric razor rather than a blade so that the hair, even at its shortest, is above the skin surface.” Fur Bikini Trimmer: Our testers were impressed by this trimmer’s elevated design and range of trimming and shaving attachments. However the trimmer resulted in some pinching and pulling that could results in discomfort for those with sensitive skin. The Philips razor also comes with an efficiency cap, an attachment no other razor in my testing included. This piece snaps on over the regular shaving head and serves to comb hair up so you can remove more of it in one pass. I found it to be effective and helpful for sensitive areas like my underarms. I let them all charge up and then put them to use on my blond, relatively fine hair and sensitive fair skin. I tried two at a time on my legs, underarms and bikini line to compare the results directly and eliminate the lesser one. I then pitted (sorry) that one against the next in the lineup, setting razors aside until I had four that performed relatively well. Finally, I tested those on my brunette husband’s coarser leg hair to give them a new challenge.The Philips SatinShave razor has two foil blades and a cutter made of hypoallergenic stainless ... [+] steel. Elyse Moody For Forbes An Efficient, Long-Lasting Battery This tool uses three floating blades for a super close, painless shave every time you use it. It can be used either wet or dry and comes with a travel pouch for on-the-go use. It has a cordless design and one charge warrants 35 minutes of continuous use. Available in two colors (lime green or lavender), it’s beloved by reviewers who claim it’s given them the closest shave while still being gentle on the skin. It’s recommended to be used in most areas of the body like on the legs, in the bikini area, and under the armpits and it has a pop-up trimmer for longer or unruly hair.

Thanks to technological innovations, women’s electric razors have come a long way, and it’s easier than ever before to find suitable shavers for all your needs. To help you navigate the endless options on the market, our team of beauty shopping experts put dozens of women’s electric razors to the test from top shaving brands like Braun and Philips, assessing ease of use, battery life, and overall shaving results, as well as noting whether or not the blades caused irritation for sensitive skin. The results: our curate guide to the best women’s shavers for all your needs and budget. You can also choose between plug-in or cordless razors. “Cordless razors provide convenience and freedom, however, you may have to charge them frequently,” Dr. Chimento explains. “A plug-in razor will provide you with maximum power at all times, but you may not like having to spin up the cord and set it away.” Bottom line: This is another small detail that could make a big impact on your overall shaving experience.
