For board-certified dermatologist Dr. Hadley King, M.D., this Gillette Venus model is the only women’s electric razor she recommends.

“[It’s] designed to work with thick hair, and it has protective fins on the sides to protect the skin. It’s cordless, so that's convenient, and can be used wet or dry. It’s also easy to clean because it can be rinsed under running water,” says King.

The Harvard-trained doctor says electric razors, sometimes called trimmers, help prevent ingrown hairs because they don’t shave as closely as a razor, ensuring the hair, even at its shortest, is above the skin surface.

“Using a trimmer may not provide as close of a shave compared to a blade, but it does decrease [the] risk of ingrown hairs. Ingrown hairs occur when a cut hair starts to grow but instead of growing out above the skin, it grows back down into the skin. This is more likely to happen with curly hair and if there is skin covering where the hair is growing,” she explains.

Q. How should I use an electric razor for women?

A. Don’t worry, this is a straightforward and easy process. To ensure you’re using the electric razor correctly, we asked both doctors to share their go-to tips.

• Trim hairs longer than 2 inches because it prevents your razor from clogging.
• Use shaving cream with a wet electric razor because it creates a barrier between your skin and the razor blade and helps it glide across your skin.
• Shave after a shower to help prevent irritation.
• Pull your skin taut and shave in the direction of your hair growth to prevent razor bumps.
• Use light pressure or the razor will flatten your hairs, making them difficult to remove.
• Do a second pass in the opposite direction of hair growth for a closer shave.
• Always apply a moisturizer afterward to help keep the skin barrier intact and prevent dryness.
