Branden · Answer 1

The iron uses more current. The razor only has to run a little motor

inside, but the iron has to make enough heat to heat water inside

and keep the bottom plate hot.

Allie Oneill · Answer 2

Heat takes much more energy than spinning a motor for tiny blades. The iron is also larger. The iron has a great resistance which is used to make heat.

Voltage (120) = resistance X current

With a greater resistance and the same voltage, the razor can draw more.
