Achieving the perfect shave can often be undervalued, but your jawline should never be neglected. Here is our comprehensive list of razors you shouldn’t be without…
KING OF SHAVES HYPERGLIDE
, The aptly-titled King of Shaves Hyperglide may appear to be a simple razor, but don’t let that fool you. Dubbed “revolubetionary”, the razor has a super-hydrophillic cartridge that is self lubricating, delivering an intensely smooth shave. When it comes into contact with water, the cartridge produces a HydroGel, which adds ease and comfort to the close shave. This razor laughs in the face of the common, all too messy lube strips that accompany your run-of-the-mill razor blades.

EDWIN JAGGER CHATSWORTH DOUBLE EDGED RAZOR, , Erring on the side of sophistication, there’s always a place next to your toothbrush for the Edwin Jagger Chatsworth razor. First created in 1916, this razors is the ultimate classic. As Europe’s leading manufacturer of handmade shaving equipment, they are your go-to guys for fine British craftsmanship in the form of razor blades. An elegant addition to your bathroom.

GEO F. TRUMPER SAFETY RAZOR , , If you’re a traditional man, then Geo F. Trumper makes the razor blade for you. Their double-sided chrome razor combined with the Warwick Handle makes for the perfect close shave – think Cary Grant in The Awful Truth. A true gentleman’s razor.

PHILIPS NORELCO SENSOTOUCH 3D, , If you’re looking for ease of use, an electronic razor is probably the way to go. The Phillips Norelco SensoTouch pivots, flexes and tilts to make your shave quick and nick-less. While not intended for those with fuller beards, the SensoTouch uses minimum pressure to avoid irritation and provide a clean, close shave.

REMINGTON R8150, , The Remington R8150, while it may sound like a character from StarWars, is an investment worth making. Easy to travel with, and with a head that swivels 360 degrees and a trimmer incorporated into the design for stray hairs, the Remington R8150 is a great companion.
