It's Electric: Motorized Razors for a Smooth Shave with Less Nicks or Razor Burn (2024)

Our Top Picks

We chose the Philips Satinshave Electric Razor as our best electric razor, because of its affordable price, accessories, and curved blade. The tool’s flexing foil blade reaches every contour of your armpit, knees, or bikini line to deliver a close, stubble-free shave. Since these areas can be particularly sensitive, the device also has a rounded-tip trimmer to prevent any cuts or irritation. The tool also comes with a blade guard if you’d like to trim, but not remove all your hair. Plus, the ergonomic design of the handles makes it comfortable to hold in your hand at all angles.

Designed with sensitive skin and delicate areas in mind, the Finishing Touch Body Shaver and Trimmer minimizes your chances of irritation with its gently gliding SenseGuard attachment and hypoallergenic (read: nickel-free) blades that can be used in both directions. Since it has a sleek build, you're in full control of each shave, allowing you to steer clear of nicks and cuts. It's even equipped with an LED light that illuminates your skin (so you don't miss any hairs) and two trimming attachments. If you're at a shave in the shower kind of person, this isn't the razor for you. It was designed for dry shaves only.

One look at Meridian’s The Trimmer and we knew it deserved a spot on our best electric razors list. It’s sold in several color options and looks chic (who knew that was even possible?!). It earns high performance points as well. The ceramic blades glide along the skin to trim hairs minus any tugging or ripping sensation, which allows for a close cut without irritation or cuts. The blade was also designed for shaving all hair types, including coarse and curly hair that is also prone to ingrowns. The fully waterproof design can be used in or out of the shower and with or without shaving cream. It also has a 90 minute battery life — ideal for travel or those who are forgetful to charge their devices (*raises hand*).

The Tencoz Electric Razor is a two-in-one model that removes every hair in its path. First, the straight blades cut the hairs off at the surface, then the floating foil head shaves any leftover strands for a closer shave in one pass. Its three-blade design features straight blades and a 3D floating foil for a closer-than-close shave. It also comes with a gentle shaving attachment for your upper lip, cheeks, neck, and jawline. The tool receives high praise for its versatility, sturdy construction, easy-to-use design, and razor burn-resistant blades. While the USB charging is quick and easy, the battery only last 50 minutes on each charge. If you’re traveling, you’ll want to bring the plug-in with you.

If your big issue with shaving is seeing the hairs that need to be removed, this razor is for you. The LED light feature is genius for spotting rogue hairs (and it could also be useful if your hair is blonde or especially fine). The light is extra bright, yet the razor is still 100 percent waterproof. A trio of blades, foil, straight, and curved work together to get a close shave on any area of the body. The long handle made it easy for us to hold and maneuver, too.The razor can be used on all areas of the body; however if you’re shaving an area that hasn’t been cleared in a while (think: your legs after a long winter) it may take several passes. We noticed that the blades, although sharp, were very short, making it difficult to get a close shave right away.

Able to tackle everything from pesky peach fuzz to upper lip hair and overgrown eyebrows, the Conair Precision Trimmer comes with four attachments to simplify your facial hair removal: a wide blade attachment, a nose and ear trimmer, and two eyebrow trimmers. The lithium battery means that this handy tool has endless charge (at least until the batteries die) and is small enough to shove in your purse or your glove box for a touchup. The wide blade attachment is great for full face shaving — like dermaplaning to remove peach fuzz — or even for the precise work of trimming your bikini line.

We named the Bush Balm electric razor one of our best bikini trimmers thanks to its five-hour battery life, waterproof design, and strong motor for easy hair removal. We also appreciated that this electric razor came with everything — and we mean everything — we needed for a detailed shave. The kit comes with a pre-wax or shaving guard to remove longer hairs before going in with the precision method, a mini cleaning brush, and lubricant to keep your trimmer in tip-top shape. Shave-wise, we thought this razor gave an incredibly close shave, without needing to go over areas multiple times (and bonus, we noticed exactly zero razor bumps or ingrown hairs after using this on the oh-so-finicky bikini line). The sleek shape was easy to hold and angle for all the nooks and crevices, if you’re aiming for a Brazilian effect. It looks and feels luxe with the white base and gold touches.

The Remington Smooth & Silky On the Go Shaver is a toiletry bag-approved electric razor that's the perfect size to bring on your next trip. It's powered by three blades that remove hair at every angle and a hypoallergenic foil that prevents nicks and irritation for a stubble-free finish. The device is designed to fit in the palm of your hand, which is a comfortable grip for shaving your legs and underarms. The angled head and dual trimmer types (foils and blade) ensures a closer shave than just one of the methods.

If you're searching for an electric razor with a premium trimmer attachment, you should go with the Conair Satiny Smooth All-In-One Shave & Trim System. Complete with three trimmer options and an adjustable comb for optimal shaping, you can effortlessly groom your underarms, bikini area, and more with precision and without worrying about razor burn, cuts, or nicks. We love how fast the device removes hair and how powerful its motor operates, as well as its lightweight feel and travel-friendly design, too. It’s a go-to method for trimming more precise areas, such as eyebrows, beards, and peach fuzz.

The Remington Smooth & Silky Body & Bikini Groomer Kit is a body shaver, bikini trimmer, facial hair trimmer, and exfoliation brush in one. The six-piece kit includes an angled foil shaver for your arms, underarms, and legs, a detail trimmer for precision touch-ups, a bikini trimmer for the bikini line, a wide blade for the face, and the gentle trimmer for delicate skin areas. It also comes with a bag to keep all your attachments organized.The variety of heads and areas it can be used on the body makes this kit a great deal for the money. The downside is that it is noisier than some of our other selects.
