Getting rid of unwanted hair is never fun, and for men and women with sensitive skin, finding a razor that provides a close shave without causing nicks, cuts, or irritation can seem impossible. The options on our list are designed to be gentle, yet effective, and many of them also provide soothing and moisturizing ingredients to prevent dryness, itching, and other discomfort.
