Women's Health may earn commission from the links on this page, but we only feature products we believe in. My interest in hair removal started in elementary school when I snuck into my mom's medicine cabinet and dragged her razor across my leg like I was coloring with my favorite box of markers. Needless to say, I've learned the right way to shave since then (namely to apply shaving cream and gently glide my razor toward the grain with light pressure).
I've had a lot of help perfecting my technique—as a beauty editor with a decade of testing experience, I have access to the best dermatologists and aestheticians. Yet, no matter how on-point my new shaving technique is now, most women's razors never get my legs quite as smooth. And other hair removal methods are super painful, ripping strands out at the root.
But then, I upgraded to electric razors—and I've never turned back. This can lead to microscopic nicks and irritation. They’re typically less sensitizing,” says Dr.
Robinson, because the shave they provide is not as close. At-home laser hair removal devices, waxing, sugaring, and threading are all great options for hair removal if you’ve got the time (and the coin), but if silky-smooth skin sans irritation is what you’re after, the answer is electric. Over the past year, Women's Health editors have been testing popular electric razors to determine which seven are worth the investment.
Ultimately, we found that the Philips Beauty Series was the best multi-use product due to its five-blade razor and dual-sidedness that allows for a super close shave. Meanwhile, the Remington Smooth & Silky On-the-Go Shaver delivers on quality for quick touch-ups while being budget- and travel-friendly. Read on to see our other winners from our testing process.
A favorite of our editors, this hair removal device hits all of the targets we're looking for when buying an electric razor. For starters, it literally has 40 micro-grip tweezers in its motor to provide a super close shave, keeping your skin smooth for weeks at a time. While that might seem intimidating, it upgraded my in-shower shaving routine in a major way.
