Over 4,700 five-star reviews don't lie: This classic razor from Gilette does it all. Users claim its one of the only razors on the market that actually soothes their sensitive skin, while others say it's virtually impossible to cut yourself while using one, even on trickier spots like your knees and ankles. "These razors are so great," wrote one reviewer. "You get a really close shave and I have yet to get any razor bumps/burn or accidentally cut myself with it."

Cocoa butter makes this four-blade razor feel super nourishing on the skin. Available in three colors, this razor is outfitted with a pivoting head for a closer shave.

The world of electric razors got better with this shaver from Phillips. It can be used wet or dry and is suitable for all hair types.

This handy-dandy dermaplaning tool has you covered when you can't make it to your salon for a much-needed wax.

Safety razors look a little different than others that you would typically find on the market, but they can actually be the key to a closer shave. Instead of a cartridge-style razor, safety razors use a single replaceable blade. They can be used on both the face or the body, and you shouldn't apply pressure as you go, which will cause less irritation. 

This razor from Hanni reimagines what a razor can do. It has an extra-long 5" handle, is coated in a powder that actually stops it from rusting in the shower, and has a curved cap design that makes shaving to tricky underarm spots a breeze. The slightly heavier base means that it will glide along your skin without leaving behind cuts here and there.

This razor's flexible hinge puts all other razors to shame; it glides so quickly and so easily, you'll wonder how you ever thought shaving was such a daunting task. Unlike other hair removal tools, Flamingo's handle is a little bit heavier than most due to its grip technology. Never face the annoyance of dropping your razor mid-shave again. Users say that this razor is also sharper than others on the market, so you'll get a closer shave. One reviewer said: "Such a smooth razor and love the five blades. And it looks nice and even comes with the holder that works well."

This wet/dry design comes with the usual trimmer and razor, but its best tool is the attachable rotating exfoliator. It'll help prevent ingrown hairs and razor burn. Also, if you're not looking for an entirely clean slate down there, it features an adjustable clip with four different trim settings.

Just because it's small and perfect for your travel cosmetics bag doesn't mean it can't pack a punch. This little guy features five blades encircled by a ribbon of moisture to double protect you from tiny nicks and cuts, all while giving you a perfectly smooth shave.
