10 Best Razors for Men (Review) in 2021

Today on our Best Razors review we’ve got a product for the hairy mammoths rather than the men among you! The ones that are blessed with a generous coat of glossy hair! All over their backs! We’ve just made you sound more like a Labrador haven’t we! The BAKblade has been specially designed, you got it, to help tackle that back hair with its longer style handle and patented BAK blades. These deliver the flexibility of a straight razor but in a lighter and less rigid product than a traditional blade meaning you can enjoy a pain-free shave and far less irritation when your hair does start to grow back. It’s a little bit like derma-planing if any of you have heard of that facial phenomenon that so many women are currently going crazy for. So if you’ve got unwanted back hair guys, BAKblade quite literally, has got your back!

Schick Hydro have thought of everything in their innovative range of Men’s Razors with a Sensitive, Energize and Hydrate head, each specifically designed to meet your personalized needs. We’re looking at their Energize blades today that have been uniquely designed with menthol in the strip to wake up and refresh tired and dull looking skin. There is nothing more exhilarating than the fresh hit of menthol, and it’s an active ingredient found in many men’s facial skincare products.

The Shick Hydro 5 range all feature shock absorbing technology which auto adjusts the pressure delivered when you shave so that you get the right amount of targeted contact for your skin. They claim that it’s the only razor currently available that can be customized in this way and it certainly does help minimize unwanted irritations. Not only can you auto-adjust the pressure, but that Shock Absorb Technology also contours around the curves of the face for a more angled and close shave where you need it most. Each razor features 5 blades as well as a precision flip trimmer which again, uniquely puts you in full control of your shaving experience. As well as that menthol lubricating protection, the blades also feature skin guards which further minimize irritation to deliver a close, smooth and comfortable shave. Be sure to also check out our list of the best safety razors for more great items like this.

We love the look of this sleek, vintage-inspired black razor from Shave It Grand which is based around an interchangeable docking station to which you can attach either a 3, 5 or 6 blade cartridge. The handle is sophisticated and ergonomically designed to comfortably fit in your hand and is super easy to operate. Let’s talk about the blades as they are the real stand out feature of this product. The six blade version comprises of ultra-sharp, wafer-thin blades, which when combined with that non-slip grip handle, deliver a superior and exceptionally close shave. A wider guard bar than usual means that the razor glides effortlessly over the surface of the skin, putting the hair follicles in the perfect position for a precise and clean cut.

The open blade housing design of the blade also means that you can quickly rinse and remove any residue like shaving gel and trapped hairs. There’s also a separately integrated trimmer which is perfect for tidying up sideburns or shaping a beard. When you’re ready to change your blade, there’s an easy to operate eject button. The blades also contain a moisturizing and lubricating strip for an even smoother shave which will help you stay looking younger for longer! You love that idea right? It includes skin-friendly properties like Vitamin E, Aloe and Lavender Oil so your skin really could be smoother than the proverbial baby’s bottom. You can combine this with a good shaving cream from our list.

Weishi Nostalgic Long Handle Butterfly Safety Razor is a very elegant and sophisticated looking razor up next on our review which makes us a little bit nostalgic for our Grandfathers and the good old-fashioned way of shaving. There’s something reassuring, and very gentleman like about this Weishi razor with its long style handle. At Weishi they believe that shaving is an art form and we are inclined to agree. They pride themselves on manufacturing technologically advanced wet shaving products with attention to detail, skill, and artistry bestowed upon them by their craftsmen.  Their safety razor features a Butterfly Open and Double-Edge to deliver a super clean, sharp and precise close shave. The technique is different from shaving with the more popular cartridge style razors but more effective once you get the hang of it.
