Intimate shaving is a sensitive matter. You want a smooth shaving result, but even less than on the face, you want to avoid the risk of injury.

Shaving the intimate area is therefore something where many people spend a long time looking for the optimal tool.

A safety razor can be a good decision for the intimate area. We show you why.

Intimate shaving

Can you shave the intimate area with a safety razor?

First of all: The safety razor is absolutely suitable for intimate shaving. And yes, a safety razor is also a good choice in the intimate area of a woman.

However, before you start in such a sensitive area, you should have already gained some experience with wet shaving and not be holding such a tool for the first time.

We therefore recommend that you only use the safety razor for intimate shaving once you have already used it on other body regions.

What are the benefits of safety razors for the intimate area?

If you want to shave the intimate area with a safety razor, you can look forward to several advantages:

  1. The safety razor shaves clean and smooth. So you get a really good result. And a smoothly shaved intimate area not only looks nicer and more well-groomed, but also has carrying and hygiene benefits, for example, during sports.

  2. The safety razor is not only suitable for a smooth shave, but also for trimming hair or precisely shaving contours, such as the quite popular “landing strip.”

  3. The safety razor is zero waste and therefore sustainable and environmentally friendly.

  4. Most users love the handling of the safety razor - it fits well in the hand and can be guided precisely.

Cost comparison of razor blades

What characteristics should a safety razor for the intimate area have?

However, which razor you choose for the intimate area can make an important difference:

  • Choose a safety razor with a closed comb. This means that the blade is protected and recessed. This gives you safety.

  • The comb, i.e., the lower part of the razor head, should be rather narrow in design. This allows you to better reach the more inaccessible areas and shave more accurately.

  • The handle should be made of high-quality material and fit well in your hand so that it does not slip out of your hand while shaving.

Our Störtebekker safety razor has an extra ribbed handle so that it does not slip out of your hand when used under running water.

 

Shaving the intimate area correctly with the safety razor: What you need to pay attention to

But how do I shave my intimate area as a woman? Especially for women, the term "safety razor" is often somewhat daunting.

We have a small guide for you:

  1. Moisten the skin in the shower with water and wash yourself normally with soap or intimate wash lotion. This softens the skin and hair, making the shave smoother.

  2. Place the razor at a 30-degree angle to the skin.

  3. Gently glide over the skin without applying pressure.

  4. Proceed slowly and do not make long shaving strokes - this way you can always see exactly how far you can work along the skin.

  5. It is best to work under the shower, i.e., under running water. This way, you can clean the safety razor under water after each shaving stroke and then start again.

The direction in which you shave the intimate area is up to you:

  • If you have sensitive skin and are prone to pimples, it is advisable to shave in the direction of hair growth.

  • If you want the smoothest result possible, you should shave against the direction of hair growth.

Can you also shave the chest with a safety razor?

Yes, definitely! A safety razor is not only suitable for the face or intimate area but also perfect for chest shaving.

Thanks to its precise blade and stable handle, it allows for a thorough and even shave, even on the contours and curves of the chest area.

With the right technique and preparation, chest shaving with a safety razor becomes a true pleasure.

How to properly shave the chest area?

  • Preparation: Start with a warm shower to soften the skin and hair. This makes the blade glide more easily.

  • Apply shaving foam: Use high-quality shaving foam or gel. Apply it evenly to the chest.

  • Correct technique: Hold the safety razor at the correct angle (about 30 degrees) to the skin and shave in the direction of hair growth.

  • Gentle pressure: Apply only light pressure and let the blade do the work.

  • After shaving: Rinse the chest with cold water and apply a moisturizing after-shave balm to soothe the skin.

How can I avoid shaving bumps with a safety razor?

You can avoid shaving bumps in the intimate area by regularly changing the blade of the safety razor. You should do this at the latest when you notice that the blade becomes slightly dull and no longer glides as easily over the skin as at the beginning.

A bump-free intimate shave is also easier with a safety razor, i.e., a safety razor with a recessed blade. It is gentler on your skin.

To shave the bikini area without skin irritation, you should also always use shaving gel or foam.

Products without artificial or chemical additives, but with nourishing ingredients like shea butter or aloe vera, are particularly recommended.

We would like to recommend our Störtebekker shaving soap - it is free of artificial additives and is therefore particularly gentle on your skin.

How often should you shave the intimate area with a safety razor?

How often you should shave the intimate area cannot be answered in general terms.

Most people want a consistently well-groomed and smooth result and therefore shave every few days. This is basically okay if you follow all the care tips and your skin does not become red or inflamed.

We would rather advise against daily shaving. Give the skin a few days to recover. If you have shaved cleanly, it will take some time for new hair to grow back anyway.

Conclusion

Intimate shaving and safety razors definitely go together, both for women and men. Have you tried it yet?

FAQ

Is intimate shaving with a safety razor dangerous?

No, shaving the intimate area with a safety razor is no more dangerous than with any other shaving device. There is always a certain risk of injury when a blade comes into contact with the skin.

Do I need shaving foam or gel for shaving the intimate area?

We would definitely recommend shaving foam. This way you can better avoid skin redness and bumps and shave the skin more gently.

Safety razor or system razor? Which is better suited for intimate shaving?

We recommend the safety razor. You can work much cleaner and more precisely with it than with the system razor. This makes shaving much gentler.
