When choosing a razor for sensitive skin, it is important to consider the number of blades, the razor handle/head material, blade edge material, blade edge coating, lubrication strips or reservoirs, and the number of blades mounted in the head/cartridge and the angle they are set to. Some razors come with sample packs or blade samplers to make the process of finding the best razor for sensitive skin easier.
It is also important to avoid dry shaving and to prep the skin with a gentle cleanser before shaving. Using shaving cream, aftershave, and other products formulated for sensitive skin can also help prevent irritation.
