There’s not a woman on the planet that enjoys shaving her legs. It’s a long process, and getting nicked every once in a while is not something to look forward to. But, that smooth velvety skin feels nice afterwards, and who doesn’t love flaunting sexy, tall legs with heels and a cute pair of bottoms?
To make the shaving affairs more likable, we decided to research some razors that provide ease and efficiency. These five options will turn a dreadful experience into a pleasant one. We’re sure of it.
Most Affordable
Our Pick: Joy Razor ($12.94, shop here)
Do you want a super close shave at a very reasonable price? If the answer is “yes,” Gillette’s creation called Joy has you covered. Women of all ages find this to be the best budget razor on the market. Coming with a razor and two blade refills at five-blade cartridges each, this is a real bang for your buck. The thick, rubbery handles just put the need for this baby on overdrive.
Best Splurge
Our Pick: OUI the People ($85, shop here)
Single blades never attracted us, until we tried OUI the People. This flattering design offers a weighted handle with indentations for easy gripping, a gentle slide for sensitive skin, and 10 replacement blades. It may be on the pricier side, but zero bumps, cuts, and irritation is high on the “wants” list when it comes to shaving – and this slightly different option omits all three from the equation. Highly recommended.
Best Disposable
Some women prefer disposable and reusable razors; we get it, they’re inexpensive and get the job done. Plus, they’re not one-use, you can actually use them several times before switching. And most come with refill blades now. Specifically speaking, this Schick Quattro option is perfect for gliding over the skin easily. No irritation here, no nicks, and long-lasting smoothness for days. Let’s just add that it’s easy to maneuver around all areas of the leg, and that’s the cherry on top this sundae.

Best Safety
Do you get unwanted skin irritation and razor burn every time you try a new razor blade out? We think it’s time to throw “experimentation” out the window and go with something a little more reputable. Enter: the Kitsch Safety Razor. This great option is super comfortable, showcasing a stainless-steel handle that’s easy to control. Just be careful the first few uses, because safety razors don’t have the typical pivoting head. You’ll want to hold this baby at a 30 degree angle – and don’t apply too much pressure! The blades will work their magic so you just have to glide the stick up and down your leg.

Best Electric
We had to throw an electric option in the mix! This beauty is great at shaving down hair on large areas of skin, like the legs. Also great at those sensitive areas, like the armpits and bikini line (added bonuses). This uniquely designed rounded shaving head knows just how to get down to the skin with zero stubble leftover. Some reviewers call it the holy grail for an electric razor. Also pretty great accessory package included in the purchase, with an exfoliating glove, trimming comb, cleaning brush, storage pouch, and more.
