Few of us love to shave. But the right razor can speed up the process and leave a smooth shave without irritation.<\/p>\n

Over the last decade, we have bought and tested nearly 100 razors. Our team of grooming experts has multiple facial hair types to throw every conceivable razor at: three blades, four blades, five blades, disposables, safety razors, electric, rotary, and foil. <\/p>\n

The Gillette ProGlide Shield is a 5-blade model that won us over for its build quality and pivoting head, which provides an extra close shave. If you’re on a tight budget, the Schick Quattro Titanium is much more affordable but still offers a reasonably good shave.<\/p>\n

We’ve added a few of our favorite electric options to the mix here, but we also have a full lineup of just electric razor recommendations you can check out. If you’re not one to sport a clean-shaven face, we have also tested beard trimmers, and if you need to tame other types of facial hair, a nose hair trimmer could come in handy.<\/p>\n

Editor’s Note: We updated this review on March 13, 2025 by rewriting our award sections to be more concise, with more insights from testers.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Top precision trimmer blade is average<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    The Gillette ProGlide Shield is our top pick for its smooth, high-quality shave. It has a low-friction glide and blade that pivots in multiple directions to hug facial contours. It’s five blades, guided by a micro-thin comb-like strip, cut stubble cleanly without tugging. Our test team raves, \u201cIt’s unmatched in side-by-side tests<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Enhanced lubrication strips minimize irritation, outshining the otherwise stellar Gillette ProGlide. Blade swaps are effortless, and the unobstructed design simplifies rinsing, solidifying the Shield as a standout. \u201cI’ve never had a closer shave,<\/em>\u201d one tester adds.<\/p>\n

    The ProGlide Shield delivers consistently superior shaves across multiple uses, outshining most rivals in our tests. Its minor flaws–a slightly less ergonomic handle, a need for grippier rubber accents, and a so-so precision trimmer–pale next to its high performance and durability. \u201cI barely noticed the blade dulling after a week,<\/em>\u201d one tester says.<\/p>\n

    While the Schick Hydro Sensitive matches it in some areas with a longer, lighter handle, it’s trickier to clean and swap cartridges, losing out overall. The budget-friendly Schick Quattro Titanium<\/strong> offers a solid four-blade shave, but the ProGlide Shield’s ease and quality win. \u201cIt’s worth every penny for the smooth finish,<\/em>\u201d another tester insists.<\/p>\n
