The 12 Best Electric Razors You Can Shop on Amazon

Using one of the best electric razors for women makes it a breeze to get smoother, hair-free skin with minimal irritation. While there are seemingly endless options to consider for hair removal—from at-home waxing kits to high-powered laser and IPL devices—our editors almost always come back to these rechargeable or battery-operated razors.

And contrary to what some may believe, shaving or trimming your hair away doesn't mean you'll eventually end up looking like Chewbacca. According to the Mayo Clinic and board-certified dermatologist Lawrence E. Gibson, "Shaving hair doesn't change its thickness, color or rate of growth. Shaving facial or body hair gives the hair a blunt tip. The tip might feel coarse or 'stubbly' for a time as it grows out."

Whether you're in the market for a portable device that packs away nicely in your carry-on, or a versatile, dual-purpose razor that easily does away with hair on both your body and face, there are plenty of expert-approved options to choose from.

Here, we've rounded up some of the best electric razors (a handful of which are on sale right now) shoppers swear by for baby soft skin in a flash.

What electric shaver gives you the closest shave?

The great thing about electric razors is how they provide a close shave, both in or out of the shower. As for which model to use, it depends on which area of the body you are shaving, although many of the razors listed above can be used on the legs, underarms, swimsuit line, and even the face. Some do have different attachments for different areas of the body, so be sure to read the directions to ensure you're using it correctly.

How do you use an electric razor?

First, be sure the electric razor is fully charged. For dry shaving, simply run the shaver over clean, dry skin to remove hair. In the shower, you can use shaving cream for added hydration and slip. Again, be sure to read the directions on your individual product for any additional things to know before shaving.
