As electric razors grow in popularity, there is no denying the quality of a shave with today’s best disposable, manual razors. With fine metal handles, multiple thin blades, and much smaller heads than electric razors, treat yourself to a precise shave that gets more hair than an electric razor.

While it can take a bit of technique to figure out shaving with a disposable razor, you will be rewarded with simple cleaning and maintenance. Since you’ll be using a mix of water and shaving cream, cleanup is much easier. Unlike an electric razor, hair doesn’t fly everywhere. Simply tap the razor in the sink and rinse it off.

A disposable razor is much easier to throw into a gym bag or Dopp kit. You could even leave it at a destination where you often travel. There’s no need to worry about charging, or it taking up too much space. Blades last for numerous shaves, and are very easily replaced.
