Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Choose a razor for designed for your gender. Many women's razors are made for the contours of the female body and include a lubricating strip for sensitive skin. Men's varieties often have additional blades and are intended for use on the face.
Step2
Pick a disposable razor with a long or textured handle. These give you better control when shaving to reduce nicks and cuts.
Step3
Consider the number of blades. Single blade razors do not perform as well as ones with multiple blades, either on the face or the body. Multiple blades offer a closer, more precise shave.
Step4
Look for disposable razors with pivoting heads. As you shave, the head moves to form to the curves on your body or face which ensures you don't miss any hard-to-reach hairs.
Step5
Buy a disposable razor with a lubricating strip if you have sensitive skin. Often made with aloe and vitamin E, these offer relief from the tugging and scrapping effects of shaving.
