Best Razors for Men for a Close, Safe Shave

HeadBlade Moto Head-shaving Razor

Get It

Godspeed to anyone who wants to shave his head with a standard-fare razor or safety blade. You should use something ergo-friendly, and designed for the spherical task, rather than the same device you use on the contours of your cheek and jaw. HeadBlade is exactly that, and in turn, it always works exceptionally for your face and body, too. It expedites the process—not that you need to go fast, but it certainly spares you from taking 20 minutes too long on the rear of your head. And at $12, there’s no reason you shouldn’t say yes. (Though the limited-edition, $75 gold-plated and polished GoldFinger Moto is a worthy gift to any bald man in your life.)

Harry’s Truman Razor Set

Ever since it leapt ahead in the subscription-shaving game, Harry’s has been the brand to watch. For just $15, you can get your starter Truman kit—the foundational razor with its weighted, rubber-grip razor and those German-engineered 5-blade cartridges (with the ability to receive replacement blades routinely by mail). Plus, the brand is constantly partnering with others to issue limited-release colors and designs. If you don’t fancy the orange, blue, or green standard picks (though they’re all sharp, in our opinion), just wait a month or two and you might score something one-off and fabulous.

BIC 5-Blade Disposable Razor With 6 Cartridges

There’s no need to buy cheap, flimsy, disposable razors when BIC is out here making 5-head, flexible-blade, aloe-enhanced, ergo-grip razors. We question the notion that you even need to dispose of the razor as you cycle through its cartridges, since it could compete in efficacy against some of the best “non-disposable” razors.

Parker Semi-Slant Safety Razor

By angling and slanting its safety-blade razor heads, Parker guarantees a safe, smooth shave. They’re double-edge razors with less blade exposure, thus less worry for wear on your precious skin. A little pressure goes a long way with these chrome-finished, brass-framed baddies.

Philips Norelco electric shaver + trimmer + detailer

Makers of some of the best beard and body trimmers around, Philips Norelco also leads shaving innovation with this hybrid shaver + trimmer + detailer. You can get a close shave (not all the way to the skin, which some guys prefer; it’s a barely-there scruff), as well as the ease of cleaning up your cheek lines, neckline, and even your body hair. The device is rechargeable and shaves wet or dry, if you prefer an in-shower cleanup.
