Those with sensitive skin can sometimes find that regular shaving can cause skin irritation. The Philips SatinShave Advanced has rounded trimmer tips that prevent your skin from scratches, leaving you with soft, smooth skin. Battery life: “The longer the battery life, the better,” says Dr. Chimento. Battery life is a common qualm with electric razors — ones that die on the job leave you stranded with stubble. We personally vetted each electric razor on this list, noting the battery duration during multiple shaves. Allow rechargeable options to fully charge before using them for the best experience.

There are two main types of electric shavers: The first is foil shavers, which Dr. Chimento explains are “made with a thin curved metal foil that covers cutting blades.” The second is a rotary shaver which “uses circular blades and has three round heads that work to conform to your skin.” So which is the best electric shaver for women? Dr. Chimento tells WWD it really comes down to personal preference. Choose an option that feels comfortable for you and caters to your hair type. Foil razors are best for fine hair and generally lend a close shave, while rotary shavers are your best bet for coarse, curly hair.

Elyse Moody For ForbesAccording to New York City dermatologist Dr. Hadley King, there are many additional benefits to using a women’s electric razor — including less of a risk of pesky ingrown hairs. “Ingrown hairs (skin-colored or red bumps that contain a trapped hair growing down into the skin) are more likely to occur when hair is curly, and/or when skin covers the area where hair is growing,” Dr. King explains. “Therefore ingrown hairs can be decreased by not shaving closely — for example, use an electric razor rather than a blade so that the hair, even at its shortest, is above the skin surface.” An electric razor also can be easier to control the amount of hair you want to remove, which can differ from person to person—some may opt to only trim around the “bikini line” and keep hair everywhere else, in which case an electric razor is a great choice for,” she continues.

Some charge times are really long—a full 24 hours.
