Peach fuzz? Sorry, IDK her.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: There is absolutely no rule that says you have to shave your facial hair (or any hair, for that matter). Everyone has their own relationship to body hair, and if you like yours, keep it! Show it off! But if you’d rather remove your peach fuzz from your face—whether you’re looking to prevent makeup from looking cakey, or you want the added bonus of smoothing your skin texture while you shave—there are tons of face shavers and peach fuzz-removal products to help.
But some of those products, like hair removal creams and at-home waxing kits, can be pretty intimidating, and as dermatologist Victoria Barbosa, MD, associate professor of dermatology at the University of Chicago says, “can include an itching or burning sensation, redness, or even a rash.” So if you have sensitive skin or just want to go down a gentler route, face shavers will be your BFF for DIY-ing your hair removal. And DW, I’m not just talking about a scary razor/shaving cream combo—I’m talking about face shavers that are quick and easy to use, including everything from budget-friendly dermablades to high-tech dermaplaning devices.
Yup! Just like it’s fine if you don’t shave your face, it’s also okay to shave the peach fuzz from your face if you want to (and no, the hair won’t grow back thicker—that’s a myth). The only thing to keep in mind? Safety and hygiene. “Any time you’re holding a blade to your skin, the biggest risk is irritation, cuts, or nicks to the skin,” says dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, MD, associate professor of dermatology and director of cosmetic and clinical research at Mount Sinai Hospital, who recommends using a dermablade for first-time shavers, which he says has “built-in safety mechanisms.” And, of course, always remember to rinse and dry your razor after each shave to prevent rust and bacteria.
Cool, so now that you’re a low-key expert on face shaving, keep scrolling for the 13 best face shavers, below.
“You have to remember that shaving is an interaction between the blade, the hair, and the skin,” says Dr. Zeichner. “You need to protect your skin barrier before, during, and after the shaving process.” Luckily, this face-shaving system—equipped with spare blades so you can switch them out when they get dull—comes with a cleanser spiked with aloe vera and a post-shave treatment serum to soothe your skin.
If you have sensitive skin, even the gentlest razor can still be irritating. To avoid any redness or razor burn, add this electric face shaver to your shelf of sensitive skin products asap. It has micro blades that spin around to catch the hair (but never directly touch your skin) as you glide it in circles over your face, leaving you hairless and glowing.
If you’re still more into straight-shaving than trimming, I get it—it’s the one method that’ll give you the closest shave possible (on your face and literally anywhere else). Yes, the price tag on this razor is heftier than a 10-pack of dermablades, but IMO, it’s worth it. Because if you take care of your razor (read: keep it clean and dry between uses), it’ll last you pretty much your entire lifetime. Btw, don’t put much pressure on it when shaving since it’s already weighted, and to avoid razor bumps, shave in the direction of your hair growth, rather than against it.
I’m all about multitasking when it comes to beauty—and that’s especially true when it comes to hair removal. This face shaver by Conair doubles as a nose-hair trimmer and eyebrow trimmer so you can get rid of unwanted hair all over your face without investing in a ton of facial hair removal products.
If you know me, you know I’m obsessed with safety razors. They’re eco-friendly razors (no disposable plastic here, tyvm), and they also last forever, more or less. Even better? This one comes with a ten pack of extra blades so you won’t need to stock up again for months. Just keep in mind that a safety razor, despite its name, doesn’t come with the protective plastic guard that dermablades do, so, like, pls be careful.
It’s no secret that I’m fully obsessed with these face shavers from Revlon (pls see here for proof). The blades are the perfect combo of gentle (like, won’t-irritate-TF-outta-your-skin gentle) and precise (you really only need to run the razor over your skin once to pick up any and all hair), and they leave your skin soft and peach-fuzz free in five mins flat.
Pro tip: Some people like to use a lightweight shaving cream or moisturizer to help the blade glide smoothly, but prepping with face wash works just as well for me.
There’s no question about it: These Tinkle Eyebrow Razors are the most popular face shavers on Amazon. Of the more than 35,000 glowing reviews, most fans seem to love them for their ability to quickly (and gently) pick up dead skin and peach fuzz. The price tag doesn’t hurt either—you get two packs (six razors total) for less than $5.
If you’re looking for something with a bit more oomph, you can’t really go wrong with this electric face shaver. It’s best used for shaping and trimming eyebrows, but reviewers note that it’s also great for targeting upper-lip facial hair (so long as you’re extra careful—’cause it is electric).
As much as I love disposable face shavers, it can feel a little annoying (and, TBH, wasteful) to buy a new one after a few uses. That’s where this metal face shaver from Sephora comes into play—it comes with three replaceable blades that you can swap in as soon as it starts to feel dull.
Here’s the thing: You can’t really dermaplane—aka when a dermatologist gently scrapes the surface of your skin with a surgical scalpel to remove dead skin—with an at-home face shaver. But when you use one of these multipurpose razors from Schick, you actually do get a nice amount of exfoliation, thanks to the ultra-fine blades.
Prepare to never run out of face shavers when you buy this pack of 40 razors on Amazon. And even though the price can make you wary, you aren’t sacrificing on quality—reviewers love the precise blades and lightweight handles (like, you can comfortably throw a few in your makeup bag for easy access).
It’s definitely pricier than most face shavers, but this tool from StackedSkincare does more than just remove peach fuzz and facial hair—the sharp blades also slough off dead skin cells, leaving your face super soft and smooth. Bonus: You can also buy packs of three refill blades for $23.
This eyebrow shaping kit comes with everything you could possibly need to maintain your arches, including a precision razor, four kinds of tweezers, and a two-sided eyebrow comb. Just a heads up though: Try to maintain the “less is more” mentality when shaving your brows—start small and build up as needed.
K, so this isn’t technically a face shaver—but trust me when I say it removes your facial hair with pure freakin’ ease. Whip out this bb once a week and it helps to exfoliate dead skin cells, remove buildup, and destroy peach fuzz with a sharp blade and sonic vibrations.
