bright pinks and girly packaging give away the ladies’ options&comma; while somber greys and blacks permeate the rugged men’s section of shaving accessories&period; Shopping for razors is typically simple&period; You buy the pink ones if you are a woman&comma; or the black ones if you are a man&period; It gets a little more complicated if one gender’s razors are cheaper than the other’s…who wants to pay more for something that will just be used and thrown away after a few uses&quest;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">It can be tempting to buy whichever razor is cheapest&comma; whether it’s for your gender or not&comma; but is this really a good idea&quest; Are men’s razors really all that different from women’s razors&comma; or will either one do the job&quest;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Besides the fact that most men wouldn&&num;8217&semi;t be caught dead buying pink razors&comma; there are a few other reasons why the feminine shavers aren’t ideal for manly beards&period; Women don’t have it any easier&comma; although most women are happy to use a male razor if they are cheaper&period; The differences between the two styles of razor are real&comma; and understanding them can help you get the best shave out of your disposable razors&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;"><strong>Angle of the Blade<&sol;strong><&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Men’s razors are angled more sharply than women’s because they have to cut coarse beard hair&comma; which is tougher to cut than women’s leg or underarm hair&period; The angle of the blade helps men cut the hair on their face while ideally avoiding the skin&period; Of course&comma; this doesn’t always happen&comma; but men are tough enough to handle a few nicks here and there&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Alternately&comma; the blades of women’s razors are angled to cut less aggressively to help avoid the blade’s contact with the skin&period; Razor manufacturers aim to reduce cuts and red spots on ladies’ legs&comma; things which most women don’t particularly like to show off under hosiery or skirts&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;"><strong>Handle and Head Design<&sol;strong><&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Women’s razors tend to be made with more curves than men’s razors&period; This is not because ladies are curvier&comma; but because the razors are used to shave a much larger area than men’s razors are designed to shave&period; Higher arches in the handles of women’s razors allow for better sight of the area being shaved to help avoid cuts&period; Larger heads cover more space in a single swipe and often have added moisturizers to keep skin soft&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Men’s razors tend to be straight&comma; sleek and visually appealing to guys&period; They don’t have as much surface to shave and generally don’t worry about having added moisturizer when they shave&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;"><strong>Frequency of use<&sol;strong><&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Women don’t have to shave as often as men&comma; especially during winter months&comma; when long trousers and long sleeves cover up any unshaved areas&period; Most women don’t shave every day&comma; even in warmer months&comma; so their razors are designed with this in mind&period; This is likely the reason many women claim to get a better shave from male razors&comma; since the sturdier cut and sharper blades are a little more aggressive than their female razors&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">The bottom line is that&comma; apart from marketing differences&comma; those pink and black razors are actually designed differently&comma; providing different results for both genders&period; While manufacturers urge men and women to stick to their own sex’s shavers&comma; many women still prefer men’s razors for shaving their legs and underarms&period; Whether it’s the closer cut or the sleek and stylish design of male razors that attracts women&comma; one thing is certain&period; A close shave is appreciated by both sexes&comma; every time&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;"><strong>Author&&num;8217&semi;s Bio&colon;<&sol;strong> If you enjoyed reading this guest post&comma;
