There are regular women's razors (you know, the ones you can use in the shower), electric razors, and multi-blade razors that can all be used on thicker hair. Then, there are dermaplaning razors for small hairs.

If your dermatologist says you're a candidate, a face razor can make your skin smoother. "Shaving removes both dead skin cells and the fine vellus hairs that are also known as peach fuzz,” says dermatologist Lauren Penzi, MD. It helps your skincare products absorb easier and your makeup go on smoother.
Before you shave, make sure your hands, face, and the razor are fully clean. You can even apply a face oil before shaving so it feels smoother, says Dr. Camp. If you have particularly sensitive skin, Dr. Penzi suggests opting for a disposable razor or one with a detachable head that can be replaced, so your skin is never irritated by dull razors or exposed to infections.
