Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Know how sensitive your skin is before you pick a razor. If you have overly sensitive skin, the wrong razor could cause you great discomfort or even cut you.

  2. Step 2

    Decide how much you’re willing to spend on a razor. It may sound cliché, but the more expensive a razor is, the better it is. However, if you don’t want to spend too much, you may want to stick with store brand razors.

  3. Step 3

    Read product reviews on different razors. This is a good idea when it comes to buying anything, especially a product that you’ll be using on your skin everyday.

  4. Step 4

    Consider buying an electric razor. These can be more of a hassle than disposal razors but can also give you a much closer shave.

  5. Step 5

    Don’t be afraid to try several different razors until you find the one you like. The only real way to know for sure that you’ve found the perfect razor for you is to try several alternatives.

  6. Step 6

    Buy a store brand replica of a more expensive razor. Doing this will help you decide whether you want to spend the money on the expensive name brand razor or not.

  7. Step 7

    Once you do pick a razor, try to stick with that same razor. Your skin will eventually get used to the razor that you use, especially if you shave everyday. Not switching types of razors will limit discomfort and cuts that come from everyday shaving.
