19 Best Razors for Women [Tested and Reviewed]

The Deluxe Smooth Swirl is the first razor to feature their "Flexi-ball" pivoting head in Gillette's Venus lineup. It claims to closely shave even hard-to-reach areas. We saw that almost all areas were shaved clean and beautifully when testing this razor. We recommend this razor to anyone wanting silky-smooth skin and no leftover prickly stubble.

The blades are surrounded by a lubricant, ensuring skin-friendliness and protection against irritation or cuts. Our product reviewers told us that they "shaved without any hairs being pulled on" and "it even fit into curvy areas," allowing them to shave the hair from their armpits and even their fingers. It's also designed to fit firmly in your hand with an anti-slip grip that wet hands won't drop.

The only downside we found was how easily hair got stuck in and around the blades. We were able to get the hairs out by blasting the back of the razor head with water, but it took some time. This razor is mybest's top recommendation for anyone looking for an efficient, smooth and close shave.

The Venus Extra Smooth Mini is a razor by Gillette that's great to bring on your travels. The included moisture bar will fulfill your need for a smooth gliding razor blade. The razor head can pivot in many different angles, allowing a perfect fit in the spots you need shaved. Our testers were able to remove all the hair they wanted gone. Our product reviewers said, "The handle is so small and round that it felt like an extension of my hand," and "The small size and light weight made it easy to use."

This razor is perfect to throw in your bag if you tend to fuss over any missed spots while out and about. This razor will glide gently over your skin thanks to the included moisture bar, which helps to stop razor cuts. We found during our ease of maintenance test that hairs will wash off under running water, but the moisture bar will end up a sticky mess. It will need some drying time outside the carrying case before you put it away. If you get bothered by stubble and want silky smooth skin while traveling, we highly recommend this women's razor.

These five-blade razors by Flamingo are designed to be easy to use for sensitive skin with a system that combines moisturizing aloe and shea butter around the razor blade. They received great ratings during our test for ease of use. Our product reviewers let us know that "it was a comfortable shave with the moisture bar" and "the flexible razor head made sure I could reach every spot."

However, we verified that some got a clean shave, while others had stubble that really stood out, so we're can’t say with confidence that it has good quality of finish. You'll need to keep it pressed firmly against your skin to shave well. This razor features bars with aloe and shea butter surrounding the blades that stop your skin from feeling dry and taut. You'll be able to use this razor even if your skin tends to get irritated easily.

Even though hair will get stuck around the blades, running this razor under some water will get rid of that quickly. With its flexible razor head featuring a wide range of motion and comfortable shaving sensation, we highly recommend this razor to anyone looking for something gentle on their skin.

This Joy razor is distinct for the slip-resistant handle that'll stay put in your hand. It received high ratings from our product reviewers, who stated,"You'll get a smooth shave without ever pulling at your hair," and "The handle is easy to hold and prevents you from dropping it." It has a straight handle which is wrapped in a slip-resistant material that gives you a secure grip even with wet hands.

We did see some stubble that bothered us a bit, so you'll have to shave over the same spot a couple of times for smooth skin. There was no noticeable skin irritation when we finished shaving, and many of our product reviewers said it would be very unlikely to cause razor burn. It was evaluated highly for its ease of maintenance, as clogged hairs came right off the blade after putting it under running water. This razor is best suited for anyone looking for an easy time cleaning up.

The Hydro Silk razor is the perfect razor for anyone with dry skin, as the included water-activated moisture serum will enrich your skin as you shave. It has some weight to it, so you won't need to press down too hard. The pivoting razor head is also great to fit in curved areas.

We rated this razor as outstanding for skin-friendliness, due to the moisturizing serum that gives you a smooth shave without ever pulling at your hair. This is the perfect option if your skin tends to dry out. The results of our quality of finish test revealed that overall it provides a good shave, but stubbly spots scattered throughout were of concern. Hair can get stuck in between the narrowly spaced blades, too, so be sure to run water through the back of this razor to clean them out.

Skintimate Sensitive Skin razors by Schick come with a strip made of an aloe-based moisturizer that claims to be gentle on sensitive skin. Our reviewers reported that, as advertised, the included skin conditioning strip made this razor glide seamlessly to offer a smooth shave. The razor head, with its rather small size, fits well into harder-to-reach spots.

The handle is narrow in the middle so you can grip it with ease. Quality of finish testing produced moderate results, as we saw smooth skin on some of our test subjects but noticed stubble on others. Hair can also get jammed between the razor blades and won't budge doing a simple rinse, so expect to spend some time cleaning this razor.

These four-blade razors by Amazon Basics require no preparation before shaving, thanks to the included moisturizing bar surrounding the blades. We barely noticed any razor burn or skin tightness. We also love the slip-resistant grip that's easy to keep hold of in wet hands.

Results for quality of finish showed that stubbly hairs were left behind on our test subjects, resulting in lower ratings. This razor may not be best suited for those days you need silky smooth skin. We also observed that it will take you some extra time to clean this razor off. One of our product reviewers said, "It isn't easy to clean off the hair that sticks to the moisture bar."

This five-blade razor comes with a moisturizing lubricator surrounding the razor head containing botanical oils that promise a smooth shave. Although there was some concern over prickly hairs left behind, we were able to get a close shave on our test subjects, which resulted in high quality-of-finish ratings overall.

The razor head is flexible, but the blades themselves are set a little too deep, causing you to press it against your skin even harder. While there is an included moisture strip, we felt it wasn't the most skin-friendly, since the blades have difficulty reaching your skin. This razor did not rate well for ease of maintenance due to hair being stuck in between the blades and moisture strip. Make sure to rinse thoroughly to get every hair out.

The Soleil Glide five-blade is a disposable women’s razor by Bic that comes with a shea butter-infused moisture bar for a smooth shave just by wetting it with a little water. It really does give you wonderful smoothness as advertised, and has a razor head that feels so slick that it doesn't even feel like it's touching your skin. It glides across skin beautifully and was ranked highly within our test for skin-friendliness.

It was also very close to getting great ratings for quality of finish, because although most test subjects shaved down to lovely smooth skin, there were a few with some stubble left over. We also found that this razor is not the best for taking care of small or curvy spaces because of the larger sized moisture bar. That being said, you'll have no issue with shaving flat areas. Our ease of maintenance test found that the moisture bar can be quite sticky, which means you'll be spending more time cleaning out the hairs stuck to this razor.

These four-blade disposable razors by Equate come with a vitamin E-infused moisture strip. They also feature a soft-grip handle that'll help prevent you from dropping it even if your hands are wet. We weren't able to see smooth skin in one attempt when using this razor on our test subject, so there’s some concern over stubble. You'll have to go back over the same spot a couple of times to get a close shave.

Hair clogged the back and edges of the razor blades quite easily and was pretty difficult to remove. Overall, it took a while to clean off. On the other hand, it glides smoothly with the included moisture strip. Our product reviewers loved how well this razor fit into curvy areas, too, thanks to the flexible design. They said, "The thick handle made it really easy to hold."

Intuition razors by Schick won't require you to put on any shaving gel, as they come with a soap bar surrounding the blades made using organic cocoa butter. Although you'll be able to shave larger flat areas just fine, our product reviewers mentioned, "It's pretty difficult getting into any curvy spots," because of the large size of the attached soap bar. This razor is best suited to shaving your arms and legs rather than areas requiring more detailed work like your toes.

Quality of finish testing results found that it wasn't able to shave in a uniform fashion, and prickly hairs left our test overseers bothered. Press down firmly with this razor if you want a close shave. We didn't have any concern over razor burn or taut skin thanks to the large-sized soap bar around the razor head. We recommend this razor to anyone with sensitive skin. Be aware that hair will get stuck in both the soap bar and between the blades, which will lead to more time needed for maintenance.

The Venus ComfortGlide is a razor that includes a gel moisturizing bar by Gillette. Just going off the large size of the moisture bar, we saw that it won't fit into tight areas well, and in quality of finish testing we found that some stubble was left behind. This razor wasn't able to give our test subjects a close shave to provide a silky smooth look and feel.

Our product testers only had positive things to say for this razor's skin-friendliness, like "the gel bar made sure my skin didn't become irritated and made shaving comfortable," and "my skin didn't feel at all rough when I was done." Problems arose when testing ease of maintenance due to the gel bar, which gets quite messy. It can trap hair along with those already stuck between the blades, which was troublesome during clean up.

This five-blade disposable razor by up&up features a moisturizing lubricated strip containing shea butter and jojoba oil. However, each strip doesn't appear to contain much of these moisturizers, which caused us to rate it as only average for skin-friendliness. The razor head fails to shave curvy areas well and some unshaven prickly hairs were quite noticeable. This was made worse by the large razor head size as well.

During our ease of maintenance test, we found that any hair stuck between the razor blades came right off with a rinse. Our product reviewers did say, "I had no idea where to put this down afterward," though, because the area around the lubricated strip became so sticky. Make sure to reattach the included cap after you're done with it.

This triple-blade disposable razor by up&up comes with a lubricated strip containing shea butter and jojoba oil. After using this on our test subject's hair, we saw some parts that shaved down beautifully, but we also found some areas where prickly hairs remained. The razor head isn’t flexible, so it'll be a little more difficult to take care of the tight spots or curvy areas to achieve a uniform, clean shave.

You'll need to grip this razor tight, as the handle gets slippery and can be dropped easily with soapy hands. Skin-friendliness is lacking, even with the included lubricated strip. One of our product reviewers said, "It felt like my skin was being scraped off." Cuts and scrapes are most certainly a concern, so be sure to moisturize properly after you're done. The hair stuck between the blades wouldn't easily rinse away under running water, so you'll find that maintenance requires extra time and effort.

The Venus Simply 3 Disposables by Gillette come with a strip that'll produce a lubricant the moment it comes in contact with water. Although we saw some stubble left behind, this razor still earned great ratings for quality of finish, as we were able to see smooth skin in most areas. We were also pleased with its handle design and how easy it was to hold.

However, one product reviewer said, "It hurt me even when using the lubricant strip," so anyone prone to razor burn should apply a shaving gel or soap prior to using this razor. There's plenty of space between each blade, so our assessment for ease of maintenance found that hairs can rinse off with water. This option is the best if you're looking to spend the least time on cleaning your razor after use.

Equate's razors have a coated blade edge that contains shea butter, vitamin E, cocoa butter, grapeseed oil, and jojoba oil. Our test for quality of finish showed that a close shave wasn't feasible, with some areas still covered in prickly hair on our test subjects. Even though the razor head pivots and will fit into hard-to-get-at spaces, we didn't see smooth skin, which caused us to lower its evaluation. You'll need to shave over the same areas several times to get a complete shave.

It received low ratings for skin-friendliness, because even though the razor head has the included lubricating strip, it felt like shaving the skin directly. The handle is also slippery, so use it with care. This razor is not meant for anyone looking for a quick cleanup, either. Our product reviewers told us during our ease of maintenance test that "the lubricating oil spreads and makes it harder to clean," even if the hair between each blade come out when rinsed with water.

This razor by Amazon Basics has an included moisturizing bar surrounding the razor head made with botanical oils. When used to shave the arm hair on our test subjects, we mostly achieved silky smooth skin, but some had stubble left over. The blade design prevents close shaving and we believe it even causes the pivoting razor head to have reduced flexibility.

Even though it comes with a moisture bar, this razor got low marks for skin-friendliness. Our product reviewers raised concerns stating, "It felt like my skin was being ripped off," and "It was a painful shave." When we tested for ease of maintenance, we found it was easy to get hair out from between the razor blades, but it was the opposite for any hairs that were stuck in the rather slimy moisture bar.

Soleil Smooth Colors by BIC includes a soothing moisture strip made with aloe vera and vitamin E. These razors were rated highly for quality of finish. We saw many test subjects who were left with silky smooth skin, but on others we noticed prickly hairs left behind.

The moisture strip is unfortunately narrow and holds this razor back from a smooth shave, as it may nick your skin. Therefore, we couldn't give it high marks for skin-friendliness, as it could cause razor burn. You should protect your skin by applying a shaving gel before use. It received decent ratings for ease of maintenance, as some of our product reviewers let us know that it took no time to get out the hair stuck between each blade.
