Men’s razors usually come in blue, grey, orange colours, while women’s razors come in girly colours such as pink, turquoise, white, etc.
Difference 2: Shape and size of the head.
Since women use razors to shave large surface areas such as arms and legs, etc., easy navigation is more important than the precision of the shave.
That is why women’s razors have round heads that help women work their way around the contours of ankles and back of the knees, etc., comfortably.
On the other hand, men’s razor heads have boxy, rectangular shapes because this shape is better suited for precision in shave on a smaller area, that is, the face.
For the same reason (surface area), the heads of men’s razors are smaller than those of women’s razors.
Most women’s razor heads are flexible (they pivot and tilt) to allow the cartridge to follow the contours of a woman’s body.
Difference 3: Handle.
Women have to change their grip around the razor several times to reach different parts of their body, and their shave usually involves shower gels, water, and soap (these can make things slippery).
Because of these two factors, women’s razors come with bigger, slip-resistant grips (curves, rubber cushions, etc.).
Difference 4: Blade.
The quality and sharpness of the blades in both men’s and women’s razors are the same.
Just that in multiple-blade razors for men, the blades are tightly packed to manage better facial hair, which is coarser than women’s body hair.
Most women’s razors have two lubricating strips (instead of one, which is more common in men’s razors) to provide extra moisture to the skin.
