The Essentials of Razor Shaving

3 Main Types of Razors

There are basically 3 types of razors that you can use when you have your next razor shaving appointment. This is usually done by a barber, however, you can also do it yourself. You can probably find one at your local drugstore. But there are also some at the beauty supply shop.

Straight Razor

This is the classic shaving razor. It is also the type of razor that has been around for a very long time. It is made of either stainless steel or carbon steel. This razor is extremely sharp, which is why it has to be handled with extreme caution. It is not only expensive and difficult to use, but, it is also dangerous if done incorrectly.

Double-Edge Razor

This type of razor has two blades. The head of the razor is a razor and the second blade is exposed and can be used to shave wherever the first blade is used. They are also called safety razors which are manually sharpened so they are easy to use, however, they are also more expensive.

Trimmer Razor

Trimmer razors have 3 blades, which are exposed at the front. This makes it easier to use, as you only need to press a little harder to get a closer shave. Trimmer razors are usually the most affordable razors, and that is because they have a lesser blade gap.
