Women have been struggling for ages to get rid of the facial hair. The peach fuzz can sometimes be difficult to deal with. When the face is as clean as a canvas, i.e., hair-free, it glows more, and the results of makeup are excellent. While earlier, face shaving was a taboo for women, and they would resort only to threading, in the past decade, women have become open to the idea of face shaving. As a result, many brands have come up with amazing razors that offer a safe and effective shaving experience.
- Shaving is pain-free as compared to threading.
- There is no skin pulling in shaving, unlike threading.
- Face shaving can be done on your own, unlike threading, which needs a professional.
- Shaving is quick and effective when done carefully.
- Face shaving also helps get rid of the dead skin and promotes glowing skin.
Here’s a look at the top picks in the affordable segment and my experience with different face razor brands:
Tinkle
Tinkle was the first brand I came across when I decided to shave my face and started looking for the best brand. It was recommended by some makeup and beauty influencers as well. It is a cost-effective option wherein you can buy 3 face razors for approx INR 100. Though it did offer great results and helped in getting rid of the facial hair, it was not very smooth to glide. The Tinkle razor is too sharp, which leads to cuts while shaving. Earlier, I thought that the cuts were a result of my negligence and poor technique, but every time I used the razor, it would cut me, especially around the curves of my face, such as my chin. The blades would also rust within 2-3 uses. I stopped using Tinkle blades after that and never intend to use them again.
Carmesi
Carmesi is yet another face razor brand that I tried after Tinkle. The pack of 3 was available between INR 170 to 200 on Amazon and Nykaa. It gently helps remove the hair from your face. Carmesi is a good brand that has positive ratings online which adds to its credibility. It removes the hair quickly without any cuts. The stainless steel blade of Carmesi razor is hygienic and easy to clean. The blade doesn’t rust for a long time. The curve head of the razor offers a close shave while being gentle on the skin. The razor has a moisture strip that keeps the skin hydrated and there is no irritation. The handle is easy to hold and the stainless steel blade lasts for a long without getting rusted. It is a durable razor that can be used for several times.
Sanfe
Sanfe is by far the best choice of face razors that I came across and used. There are other products from the brand as well, such as nose strips, which are equally good. It adds to my trust in the brand. The reusable sharp razor is suitable to remove unwanted hair from the face and eyebrows. The handle offers a firm grip, which makes it easy to hold and glide the razor. The stainless steel blade is sharp enough to do its job well but doesn’t cut or irritate the skin. It’s easy to shave the face as well as glide the razor through the chin. There is a storage cap that covers the blade to protect it from dust, dirt, and rust. It is gentle on the skin and offers a close shave. It is my top favorite brand and I buy it from Nykaa, Amazon, or Myntra. For around INR 200, you can get a pack of 3 razors.
Sirona
If you are looking for a top-quality reusable face razor, Sirona is the best choice for you. The stainless steel blade can easily last for up to 6 months, which offers excellent value for money. The plastic handle offers a comfortable grip and the blade prevents nicks and cuts. It comes with a travel case that helps you keep the razor clean and protected when not in use.
You can also find some expensive face razors in the market that claim to be more gentle and claim to do the job better. If your budget permits, you can go ahead with them. However, in my opinion, these affordable brands do their job well and offer satisfactory results. In my experience, Sanfe and Carmesi have an edge over others in terms of safety and preventing cuts on the face and neck. It has been my top favorite for a long, and I completely trust it with my weekly face-shaving ritual.
P.S.- Irrespective of the brand of face razor you use, it is important to be gentle, slow, and careful while shaving. You must learn to apply the right technique for safe and best results. The tips are available on the web.
