Smooth shave
Ladyshave: you'll still feel stubbles
A ladyshave removes your body hair just above your skin. This provides a less smooth shaving performance than with a shaver blade. Even though you don't get a completely smooth shaving performance, it does have an advantage. Because the blades don't touch your skin directly, there's a lower risk of skin irritation.
- Blades don't touch your skin, so no skin irritation.
- No close shave, you'll still feel stubbles.
Shaver blade: close shave
Unlike a ladyshave, you can shave very close to the skin with a shaver blade. This ensures that you can enjoy a very smooth result, without feeling stubbles. Because the blades touch your skin, you have to be very careful to prevent small cuts and skin irritation.
- Shaves close to the skin, has a smooth shaving performance.
- Higher risk of skin irritation and small cuts.
Sensitive skin
Ladyshave: suitable for sensitive skin
If you have sensitive skin, a ladyshave is suitable for hair removal for multiple reasons. Firstly, the blades don't touch your skin directly, which prevents small cuts and skin irritation. In addition, most ladyshaves have a flexible head that smoothly follows the contours of your body.
- Suitable for sensitive skin thanks to flexible head and indirect contact with skin.
Razor blade: harmful to the skin
Compared to an electric shaver, shaving with a shaver blade stresses the skin more. The blades touch your skin when you shave, which increases the risk of a burning sensation and skin irritation. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend a ladyshave.
- Shaves close to the skin, so there's a high risk of skin irritation and small cuts.
Wet or dry
Ladyshave: both wet and dry
With a ladyshave, you can quickly remove hair without needing water or shaving foam. The big advantage of this is that you can quickly use the ladyshave and don't always have to be near a faucet. Is your ladyshave waterproof? You can also comfortably use it in the shower or bath tub in that case.
- Both wet and dry hair removal.
- Not dependent on a faucet.
- Not every ladyshave is completely waterproof
Shaver blade: always with water and shaving foam
If you want to comfortably shave with a shaver blade, you need water and/or shaving foam. This allows the shaver blade to go over the skin smoothly and gives you a fresh feeling after your shave. If you use the shaver blade dry, you increase the risk of small cuts and damages to your skin.
- Always a fresh feeling after you shave.
- Not suitable for dry shaving.
Trimmer function
Ladyshave: trim and shape with attachments
With a ladyshave, you can both remove your body hair completely and trim it. You can do so with a trimmer comb that you place on the head of the ladyshave. You can easily create details as well. That's done with a precision trimmer or bikini trimmer. It's a small attachment you can place on the ladyshave. There are also small products with a small trimmer comb specially for your face or bikini line.
- Various attachments to trim and shape
Shaver blade: no trimmer function
With a shaver blade, you shave your hair completely. There are no attachments you can click onto the shaver blade to merely trim your hair. There are shaver blades with a smaller head, which allows you to shave the hair on your have and bikini line with more precision. Don't always want a close shave, but want to trim as well? We recommend a ladyshave with timmer combs.
- Easily create clean lines and trim details.
- No trimmer function.
Conclusion
The biggest difference between a ladyshave and a shaver blade is the shaving performance. If you have sensitive skin, stubbles don't bother you, and you like to comfortably trim the hair on the most sensitive areas of your skin? We recommend a ladyshave. A shaver blade is suitable for you if you always shave wet, don't get skin irritation quickly, and a close shave is most important to you.
