This Is the Real Difference Between Men’s Razors and Women’s Razors
Who among us hasn’t used a blue razor instead of a pink one? I know I have. Sometimes it’s out of necessity. And other times, you have to wonder about those close-shave ads for men’s razors. Don’t we deserve the same close shave that the guys get? (Watch out for these seven ways you’re probably shaving wrong.)
“Many women assume men’s razor blades are sharper and better than women’s, because men tend to have coarser hair on their face and shave every day,” says Dr. Jody Levine, celebrity dermatologist and director of dermatology at Plastic Surgery & Dermatology of NYC.
Should you use a men’s razor on your legs?
The difference in the razors aren’t about dullness or the ability to cut hair close to the skin for a smoother feel. It’s about the head, handle shape, rotation and how it fits within the contours of the skin, says Levine, also a spokesperson for Gillette and Venus.
Men’s razors vs women’s razors, according to Levine.
“The handle on women’s razors are very different from the handle on a razor for men. When you think about all the ways women have to hold a razor to reach those tricky spots and then add in a shaving gel or soap and water in the shower – things can get slippery. It’s no wonder women need a different kind of handle.”
“The razor blade cartridge shape on women’s razors is typically different from men’s razors. The oval shape suits women’s shaving better than the square head of a men’s razor because it fits better into the curves such as behind the knee and underarms. It helps pull the skin taut, so even areas like underarms get a close, smooth shave. The women’s razor head also pivots with individually adjusting blades that flex, so it’s easy to shave hard-to-reach spots.” (This is why it’s so important to consistently change your razor head.)
“The pivot of the razor head is also designed differently to allow the cartridge to follow the contours of a woman’s body – which are very different in comparison to the contours of a man’s face.”
What about the moisture strip?
And last but not least—the lubricating strip. On men’s razors, there tends to be one moisture strip that goes over the skin after the blade does, says Levine. For women’s razors, we get the blades encased in a head with a solid moisturizer or between two strips. Besides, our skin isn’t as coarse as men’s. We need that extra hydration and soothing so our skin doesn’t become irritated with razor burn—the worst! (Try these tricks to prevent razor burn.)
So if you’ve swapped back to women’s razors and still find your skin gets irritated, Levine suggests you swap soap for shave gel. “It creates a layer between the blade and your skin, allowing your razor to glide easily and help to protect you from nicks, cuts, and razor burn.”

Parents, This Is How to Introduce Your Tween to Makeup—Safely
A little dusting of sparkly powder or glitter nail polish mani may seem like a fun way to introduce your kids to makeup. But there may be a dark side. Recently, cosmetics sold at a popular retail store, Justice, was recalled for containing potentially unsafe ingredients. Does that mean all makeup should be off limits for the younger set?
Not quite. “Most of the more well-known cosmetic brands conduct numerous safety tests on their products,” says Lauren Ploch, MD, an Augusta, Georgia-based dermatologist. “But you should avoid buying cheap, no-name palettes and makeup kits, such those that you may find near the checkout counter at the store for tweens.”
Dr. Ploch tells all of her patients with allergic tendencies to spot-test new products before using all over the face—and your tween should do the same. “A spot test consists of daily application to a small area under the jawline for one week. Also, read the ingredients in products before purchasing and avoid anything that’s caused problems for you or your child in the past.”
Chances are your tween won’t bother reading the ingredients on their makeup, or remotely understand the terminology. So, ask to see their makeup before they use. “I recommend complete avoidance of formaldehyde releasers, including DMDM hydantoin, Quaternium-15, Imidazolidinyl urea, and Diazolidinyl urea,” says Dr. Ploch. “The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has a great database for researching different chemicals.”
Consider making your own beauty products
Even in adult women, makeup can be the source of acne, eczema, irritation, and infection, warns Mona Gohara, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in Danbury, Connecticut. She suggests tweens seek out food-grade lipsticks/pencils/tints. (Look into brands such as 100% Pure and RMS Beauty.) “With kids and teens, start slow. A little lipstick or rouge is usually OK, nail polish is a go, too,” she says. “Avoid mascara, and glittery eye shadow. Although they are fun and exciting, they can cause inflammation around the eye.”
According to Dr. Gohara, teens should also avoid cosmetics with fragrances. “They are a common cause of allergic contact dermatitis. Also, consider using food such as berries, to create color on the face. It’s how ancient Egyptians applied makeup, and it can give a vibrant color. Plus, it’s fun to make!” (Just be sure your tween’s not allergic to the food-based makeup if they have a specific food allergy! Spot test first.)
Avoid dark shades
Tweens should also stick with lighter makeup colors. As funky as they are, deep reds and blues, says Dr. Gohara, are a more common source of allergic reactions. “Definitely steer clear of fake eyelashes and nails because the glue weakens the natural structure, and the earlier you start, the worse it is. Also, I would not introduce glitter to young kids. The tiny, sharp shards can make acne worse in tweens, and can also cause little micro-tears in the skin, making inflammation a lot more likely.” Skip the glitter altogether or encourage your tween to wait until they’re older.
Safe removal is also important
For makeup removal, tweens should use a cleansing bar such as the Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar to wash off the products. “It’s hydrating, and it helps keep the skin barrier intact in the cleansing process,” says Dr. Gohara. “It’s great for any skin type, especially the delicate skin of young ones!”
Overall, says Dr. Gohara, always research the beauty brands your tweens are drawn to, or call the company for more info about the brand’s ingredients. “You can also visit the FDA website to proactively gain a better understanding of ingredients.”
