Women's Razors vs. Men's Razors: What's the Difference?

Like so many other products, razors often reinforce the gender binary through color stereotypes. Pink or other pastels for women; some combination of blue, gray, and orange for men. The differences between men’s and women’s razors don’t stop at color, but it’s less about the gender identity of the person wielding the razor and more about what they’re shaving.
Women’s razors are designed for people shaving legs, armpits, and pubic areas. Since that adds up to a considerable amount of surface area, the head of a women’s razor is often a little larger than the one on a men’s razor. It’s also often rounded, so you can more easily navigate it around contours like ankles and knees. The handle might be rounded, too, or shaped in some other nonlinear way with grooves that help you keep a good grip on it throughout the process.
