Womens Shavers Reviews: Best Womens Shavers

Best razor for women

Despite the existence of dozens of electric shavers, epilators, waxes and creams, razors still rule as the most popular choice when it comes to women's hair removal. The three-bladed Gillette Venus Divine performs best in… tests, winning praise for its large pivoting head and lubricating strips. Users say it's easy to hold, and its three blades give a very close shave. More expensive versions of the Venus razor have vibrating heads and built-in shaving gel, but those features don't translate into a better shave. Keep in mind that aside from color, shape and packaging, the Venus Divine is virtually identical to the Gillette Mach3 Turbo.

Gillette Mach3 Turbo

*Est. $10 Compare Prices

Experts say that other than cosmetics and marketing, there's no difference between men's and women's razors, and many women say they use a men's razor rather than a blade designed specifically for women. Although… Gillette's latest model, the Fusion, sports five blades, experts and users alike give the three-bladed Mach3 Turbo better ratings. An added feature is an indicator strip that shows when the blade needs replacing. The Mach3 Turbo comes with a lubricating strip; the very similar Venus Divine has two additional lubricating strips (which reviewers say don't make much practical difference).

Panasonic Close Curves ES 2206AC

Although experts say electric shavers don't render as close a shave as blade razors, they do offer some advantages. They don't cause as many nicks and may be used dry and on sensitive underarms.

The Braun Silk-epil is the hands-down favorite of testers and users who say it works extremely well and delivers long-lasting results -- up to a month after repeat usage.
