8 Best Women's Razors 2021 | The Sun UK

WHEN looking for the best razors for women, you should ensure that they have ergonomic handles and flexible blades – that way, you can avoid cutting yourself shaving (we've all been there).

Bad quality razors just end up needing to be replaced too, so there's usually not much point in buying really cheap ones. Plus, some more high-tech designs are specifically made for certain areas of the body – clever, huh?

Of course, shaving is a personal choice and women shouldn't feel the need to at all, which is why many razor brands in 2021 are celebrating body hair, like super cool beauty brand Billie.

People are loving the old-school barber style razors at the moment – Harry's Flamingo range is a good example of this, as is FFS (Friction Free Shaving), another mail-order shaving brand with a recyclable metal-body razor, Vitamin E strip and six diamond-coated steel blades per head, which costs under £10 for a razor and four blades.

Your favourite drugstore brands like Gillette are continuing to innovate when it comes to designing razors that work for women, with styles like the Venus Snap, a mini handle razor that’s perfect for travel and weekends away – it’s tiny enough to throw in your handbag, too – and the Venus Extra Smooth Sensitive, designed for anyone susceptible to red bumps after shaving.

You can always go the route of electric razors for a quick, close shave – brands like Magnitone and Phillips have rechargeable and battery-powered razors suitable for shaving all areas.

1. Best women's razor for bump-free shaving: Gillette Venus Extra Smooth Sensitive Women's Razor

  • Gillette Venus Extra Smooth Sensitive Women's Razor, £10.99 at Boots – buy here

Gillette's women's razors are favourites for their effective blades and the latest design is so smooth it won't even feel like you're shaving.

Designed to prevent any nicks while shaving or bumps afterwards, the razor has five blades and a smoothing, hydrating lubrastrip of gel that glides over skin, leaving it nice and smooth.

It's great for sensitive areas like the underarms and legs. Note: the shape of the razor is better suited to allover shaving rather than hard-to-access areas.

Fans like that there are 'no bumps', it leaves skin 'smooth and silky' and it's really good for a 'smooth, clean shave'.

2. Best eco razor for women: Bulldog Original Bamboo razor

  • Bulldog Original Razor, £6 at Amazon – buy here

This isn't specifically a women's razor, but it is fabulous, and has fantastic eco-credentials to boot, thanks to a reusable bamboo handle you won't want to ditch like the plastic alternatives.

Bulldog's razor has five tempered steel blades, a lubricated aloe strip and a pivoting design, plus it comes in recycled packaging.

The brand has just launched a new Sensitive Skin razor – lubricated with Baobab.

3. Best rechargeable razor for women: Magnitone GoBare! Rechargeable Mini Lady Shaver

  • Magnitone GoBare! Rechargeable Mini Lady Shaver, £23.99 at Amazon – buy here

A wet or dry razor that's ultra-compact and gives a close shave, this electric razor has a detachable floating head and can also be used as a trimmer, so it works on the bikini line, legs or underarms.

It comes with its own travel pouch and cleaning brush.

'It is compact and just lovely to use. It wins hands-down for speed of charging – most competitors need a minimum of 8 hours and are a lot more expensive; in fact I initially forgot how rapid it is to charge (only 2 hours), and so thought it had arrived semi-charged, and then to last for 100 hours! Just brilliant', raves one reviewer.

4. Best battery-powered razor for women: Philips SatinShave Essential

  • Phillips SatinShave Essential, £19.30 at Amazon – buy here

A cordless design with added skin protection and a bikini trimmer attachment, this Philips battery-powered razor can be used wet or dry and has a convenient, ergonomic shape.

Customers say it's fantastic for not cutting you or leaving any nicks, plus it provides a really quick and close shave.

'This device is cheap, compact, comes with 2 batteries, and does the trick', writes one happy customer.

5. Best subscription razor for women: FFS Lotus razor

  • Lotus handle razor, £9.95 for four blades and handle at FFS – buy here

A mail-order company that's redefining the razor game for women (metal handle, no Pink Tax so you're paying less), FFS's stylish and award-winning metal razor has six diamond-coated steel blades per head, a lubricating vitamin E strip and a built-in bikini blade.

FFS also elevates the razor – they call it a Shaviour – to a coveted accessory with the option to personalise it for £6.

Christmas gifts sorted, then.

6. Best compact razor for women: Gillette Venus Embrace Snap Women's Portable 5 Blade Razor

The answer to every woman with a busy lifestyle's prayers, this ultra-compact razor slips easily into handbags, gym bags and travel bags.

8. Best facial hair razor for women: Tinkle Eyebrow Razor

  • Pack of Three Tinkle Eyebrow Razor, £2.99 at Amazon – buy here
