Define "best", please

Ease of use unaided
Painless
No nicks and cuts

Gotcha.
The only shaver which didn't give me nicks was Harry's system. I'd say it is as easy to use unaided as any razor. My mum helped me once or twice and I was able to then shave independently. Make sure you get her a shaving cream as well - don't bother with pink "lady" one's, just a regular shaving cream from LIDL is best.

We got DD12 an electric Phillips shaver, no issue so far.

The Venus olay ones are good as they have a wee soap bar.

And men's shaving gel as its cheaper. I did help dd to start with

They’re all much the same, in my experience. They aren’t difficult to use and nicks and cuts don’t really happen with electric shavers. It’s not like using a wet razor.

Edit: Do you mean an electric shaver, or an ordinary razor? A ‘shaver’ is an electric razor. A wet razor like this > 🪒 isn’t a shaver.

Electric ones are rubbish
An olay razor and shaving gel is what I showed dd how to use

I've got a Phillips shaver, not sure of the model but it's probably middle of the range. It works well (not as close a shave as a razor, but fine for a quick fix when I can't be bothered to wet shave/Veet). I tend to use it in winter when I don't often have bare legs and it's perfectly adequate.
