Sunny Women's Razor Blade Refills, pack of 4

Product Information

The best razors for women go a long way to ensuring a smooth, close shave, but your technique is just as crucial. Follow Dr Toni Philips, Group Clinical Director at DestinationSkin's tips: Use shaving gel, foam, or cream: "It is vital to getting a close shave and minimizing bumps and redness. What’s more, conditioning your skin before shaving will soften the hair and the hair follicle, leading to a smoother shave." Moisturizing: "Helps to seal moisture within your skin for that silky-smooth feeling. The best moment to apply is within three to five minutes of showering, while your skin is still damp."

Let's face it—it's shaving your legs, not saving the world," said Sunny on launching this bubblegum-sweet and budget-savvy razor—amen to that. While this brand clearly has its sights set on a millennial and Gen-Z audience with their sassy chat and color palette, there is much to love here for anyone seeking a good, straightforward razor at a not-exorbitant price. Materials: Despite an estimated 5.5 million people in the UK using disposable razors, single-use plastic is not only appalling for the environment, it's also pretty poor for shaving with. Sturdy re-usable handles made with metals, grippy rubberized coatings, or recycled and recyclable plastics are much better shout. And now for something completely different. This handheld device bills itself as a 'dermaplaning tool' which translates to: absolutely one of the best razors for women to remove facial fuzz with. Attach one of the six—generously included—blades, and run at an angle along your upper lip, chin, or anywhere you require precision hair removal. Shaving women's faces still has some taboo attached to it but honestly, this is way less complicated than figuring out how does Nair work and way less messy and smelly than even the best depilator creams. It also isn't remotely painful like waxing, and can be done in all of three seconds, so is worth considering. Take the pressure off: "It might feel like you’re getting a closer shave if you press down with your razor, however, the harder you press down, the more uneven the skin surface becomes, leading to a less even shave." Go in the right direction: "Go against the hair: on your legs for a closer shave–beginning at your ankle, slowly and carefully shave upward for the best results. However, when it comes to your bikini line, shave in the direction of hair growth and hold a cool wet cloth against your skin afterward to reduce ingrown hairs and redness."

The verdict: Environmentally friendly razors

Is it possible to fall in love with a razor? Asking for a friend. Estrid has incorporated everything you could possibly want from the best razors for women into one cute design. Firstly, it looks great. Smooth and fluid lines, chunkier than most in a choice of six lovely matte colors to suit whatever bathroom trends you're following. It's made of steel with a tactile rubbery coating on the underside, meaning it's sturdy, pleasantly weighty, and very easy to control. Shaving with Estrid is pretty dreamy. Mainly due to the heavier weight and a far more-moisturizing-than-most moisture strip. This lubricating layer surrounds the blades, top and bottom, and means you can get away without shaving foam in a pinch. It also means that if you leave it somewhere wet it can go all soft and gunky, so use the included wall mount (also in your chosen color, which is a nice design touch) The fact Estrid is a subscription service may be a plus or a negative to you. But it is a low-obligation one. You can cancel any time and choose how often the good-value replacement head deliveries happen—plus, you'll never cut yourself using a far-too-old razorblade again.

While the pigments are on the lighter side, they aren't as sheer as your typical tinted moisturiser. Rather, the coverage level falls somewhere between a tinted moisturiser and a light foundation, and can easily be built up to medium coverage if you add additional layers with your fingers or a brush. What is really magical about this formula, though, is while it covers up redness and pigmentation issues, you definitely still sense the natural texture of your skin underneath, and the high points of your face — cheekbones, especially — don't lose their natural luminosity. FFS, a subscription-based razor, was one of the first to be designed with a metal handle specifically for women, while also being vegan-friendly and 100 per cent committed to being animal cruelty free. We love the rose gold look of the razor handle, which is made from zinc alloy metal, while the grip, which has grooves for your fingers, is also well designed. Shave in the shower: "Rather than in the bath as hot water isn’t good for your skin particles. Hot water can also dry out your skin, stripping it of necessary natural oils."
