Those suffering from sensitive skin know that shaving is often a nightmare, with overly sharp blades causing nicks and scratches, and cheap plastic curved designs causing scrapes and nicks. I’ve tried several women’s razors over the years and dealt with the uncomfortable after effects, but once in a while comes one that works really well on sensitive skin. Schick, Gillette, and Conair have individual razors designed for women that meet different shaving needs, but all are gentle for sensitive skin.
At first glance, Schick Intuition razors seem like a crazy idea, with a large block of Sensitive Care moisturizer built around them. triple blade cartridge. These moisturizers are miracle workers though. Out of the water, it suds and tightens the leg, allowing the sheet to slide easily onto the sensitive skin. Under the shoulder moisturizer under the umbrella softens and protects the skin from further irritation. The razor feels ridiculously close to shaving and at the same time provides a sensitive skin condition, so your feet will feel silky smooth.
The regular Schick Insight razor has two blades and a solid structure for sensitive skin. Most stores, however, have migrated to the three hinged blades of the Intuition Plus head. The Plus version isn’t enough of an improvement to warrant the extra two dollars for replacement cartridges, but it still offers a comfortable shave for sensitive skin. The thick, supportive handle provides an easy, non-slip grip that’s perfect for use in the shower or tub.
Use the Schick intuitive razor under running water for very soft and smooth results. Direct water causes the moisture block to run faster, however, so getting your leg wet and the occasional shower-wet shaver will help you get more use out of your blades. Once the sensitive skin dies is removed, the razor will slide right into your skin and it will need to be. are stored The expensive sensitive skin replacement razor cartridge only lasts about 2 full shaving legs or 4-5 touch-ups, unfortunately without all the cuts and scrapes handed down by the razors, I want to give you a little extra.
Note that Schick’s intuitive razors are designed for sensitive leg trimming, and its padded structure is not useful for trimming the underarm or bikini area. Make sure you buy sensitive cartridges in stock for best results. For those with super sensitive skin, we recommend that you apply Curel Ultra Healing moisturizer after showering – the combo of razor conditioners and Curel will soothe any irritation and lock in moisture.
For a more versatile razor for sensitive skin, look no further than the Tissot Friday Divine Razor. Almost identical to the popular Mach 3 Turbo razor, Friday Divine rates among users the most at Amazon, eBay, Drugstore.com, and AmericanRx. The three hinged blades provide a close shave head, and the round head prevents the most annoying scratches on sensitive skin that sharp rectangular razor heads inflict.
The Gillette Venus razor combines divine razors with a chic razor feel, between shaving above and below the shoulder blades and conditioning sensitive skin. Unfortunately, these bandages wear out much faster than a large block built-in humidifier. But Venus allows the divine razor to continue to use the shoulder blades even after it has been removed. Add moisturizing shaving gel to protect the sensitive skin after shaving.
The smaller, oval head design of the razor and the ergonomic handle of the Gillette Friday Divine Razor works well for trimming the underarm and bikini area as well as the legs. Signature razor cartridges for Gillette Divine Friday are also expensive, but with the added shaving gel they can last a lot longer than Intuition blades. The Venus Divine Razor is more versatile and better than the Intimation Razor for everyday use, but nothing beats the Intimation Razor’s intense moisturizing and silky smooth results for sensitive skin.
A third option for sensitive skin care is the Conair Satiny Gentle Ladies Wet/Dry rechargeable razor. Most electric razors require a long break in period before sensitive skin is tough enough to use. This is the first time I have used an electric razor and it was smooth from the start. The trick is using the razor in a light, fluid motion–rushing or dragging the Conair razor across the skin can lead to scratching from the extensive layers.
The Conair Satiny electric shaver is perfect for those suffering from sensitive skin, especially for the underarm and bikini area. Its narrow design fits curves better than larger razors, and the safety blades make it hard to cut. Conair extendable tweezers work wonders in the bikini area, smoothing longer hairs without snagging or pulling. Razor bumps and rash are common after shaving the sensitive bikini area, but with this razor there is minimal skin irritation.
Electric razors don’t achieve as smooth results as straight razors, but the Conair razor produces a silky smooth shave that excels in bikini and underarm areas. A narrow head and smooth razor can go a long way to trimming the entire length of your hair, however, I recommend it for sensitive areas and touch-ups rather than a regular all-hair shaver. For Conair, like all electric razors, dry use works best and with the addition of a little brush baby powder prepares sensitive skin. Laminaand lifts the shoulders.
I’ve never been into rechargeable razors, since they don’t hold a charge all that well and batteries usually go first in electric razors. I leave the Conair Silky razor in the charging case all the time so it’s ready to go when I need it. Constant charging has not completed its performance for over a year, and the inexpensive price tag means it’s easy to replace.
