How to Buy a Disposable Razor

If you don't shave very often, or need something for on-the-go, a disposable razor is your best bet. With the bountiful selection of razors available at stores today, it's often difficult to choose. Follow these easy steps to buy a disposable razor.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. 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.

2. Pick a disposable razor with a long or textured handle. These give you better control when shaving to reduce nicks and cuts.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

Tips & Warnings

• Use your disposable razor a maximum of six times to maintain blade performance and prevent skin damage.
• Use plenty of lubricant such as soap or shaving cream when using your disposable razors to protect skin and get a close, clean shave.
