What Are the Benefits of Facial Hair Removal with a Facial Razor?
Using a facial razor is one of the easiest and most effective ways to remove peach fuzz and dull skin whilst gently exfoliating; all in one step.
As the blade glides over the skin, it lifts away fine hair and dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion.
Ideal for sensitive skin, the Tweezerman Facial Razor offers a gentle, chemical-free alternative to waxing or hair-removal creams, making it perfect for those prone to irritation or redness.
Key Benefits:
- Smoother skin texture for seamless makeup application
- Gentle exfoliation, removing dead skin, excess oil, and debris
- Pain-free hair removal without pulling or tugging
- Minimises irritation compared to waxing or harsh hair removal creams
- Improves skincare absorption by clearing away surface buildup
Each Facial Razor includes three replacement blades , a protective safety cap, and is crafted from durable stainless steel for easy cleaning and long-lasting use.
How to Use Your Tweezerman Facial Razor
- Step 1: Prep Your Skin
Start with freshly cleansed, moisturised skin. You can also use the razor during your face wash routine - just leave the cleanser on to help the blade glide smoothly.
- Step 2: Shaving
Remove the protective cap and hold the razor at a 45-degree angle. Using short, gentle, downward strokes, glide the blade over areas with peach fuzz or dead skin, such as the cheeks, upper lip, and jawline. Apply light pressure and avoid going over the same spot repeatedly.
- Step 3: Aftercare
Rinse your face with lukewarm water and pat dry. Follow with a hydrating moisturiser or serum to lock in moisture and soothe the skin.
- Step 4: Clean and Store
Rinse the blade under warm water or wipe it with rubbing alcohol to sanitise. Once dry, replace the safety cap and store your razor in a clean, dry place, ready for your next use.
Frequently asked facial hair removal questions
Do I need to remove hair from my face?
Facial hair removal is completely personal preference. Many people choose to remove peach fuzz for a smoother complexion, better makeup application, or to enjoy the added benefit of gentle exfoliation. Using a facial razor also helps remove dead skin cells, oil, and debris for visibly brighter skin.
Will my hair grow back thicker or darker after shaving?
This is a common myth. Shaving does not change the thickness, colour, or rate of hair growth. It may feel slightly coarser as it grows back due to the blunt edge left by the razor, but the hair structure remains the same.
Is it better to pluck or shave facial hair?
It depends on your skin type and preferences. Shaving with a facial razor can be more comfortable—especially for sensitive skin. Plucking removes hair from the root and can last longer, but may cause mild discomfort as it removes hair from the follicle. Why not try our Smooth Finish Hair Remover to remove hair from the root?
Why do chin and neck hairs grow?
Facial hair growth is often caused by hormonal changes, especially during menopause or other shifts in hormone levels. It’s totally normal, and using a facial razor or tweezers are both effective ways to manage these areas.
Can I use a facial razor on acne-prone skin?
It’s possible, but use extra caution. Avoid active breakouts and use light pressure with a clean blade. Always follow with a soothing moisturiser.
Can I buy replacement blades separately?
Yes, you can! Tweezerman offers facial razor replacement blades. For optimal performance, Replace your blades every 2 - 3 months or as needed to ensure hygiene and safety with every use.
