What To Look For
Ladies have issues that are different from men when it comes to shaving. While men shave more often, women shave legs, under arms and other sensitive areas that men usually avoid. Women should look for shaving heads that are flexible, a shaver that fits well in the hand, shavers that are submersible for easy cleaning and shavers that have specific desired extra features such as pop-up trimmers.
Common Pitfalls
The biggest mistake women make when purchasing shavers is only evaluating shavers sold for women. Smaller men's shavers should also be considered. Women should also decide if they want an electric shaver at all. Manual razors give extremely close shaves, and their light heads are very controllable. Finally, women should make sure the electric shaver they choose is battery operated so it can be submerged for cleaning and taken into the shower.
Where To Buy
Women's shavers are usually found at all large department stores and most electronic retailers. The best place to purchase a shaver, however, is probably from an online retailer. Amazon.com offers the Panasonic Close Curves at the best price and also offers free shipping. TigerDirect.com also offers this shaver at an extremely low price with same-day shipping.
Cost
Women's shavers are very reasonably priced. Top-rated women's shavers are available for under $30 including shipping costs, if required. Most women's razors include a pop-up trimmer as a no-cost option.
Comparison Shopping
Women should consider an epilator as an alternative to a shaver. Epilators pull hair from the skin at the root rather than cutting the hair. This means that there will be a much longer time before the next hair removal. Epilators require a period of time to become familiar with them, and some users say they are painful, but others are strong proponents. The top-rated epilators cost in the $70 range.
