Venus Razor

Feel stubble the next day. Back to men’s razors I go

Great razor. I've been using these for a long time and it does what it's supposed to, and I rarely get nicks and cuts, usually it's from me being careless while shaving.

The replacement heads are expensive, but most are. The good thing is that these last a long time, at least a month for me, and I shave every other day. I just make sure to dry the razor off and keep it …Read more

Worst razor ever. It's like the manufacturers don't take us seriously because we aren't using these on our face and they think we don't shave every day.

I like the flat handle - it's the best handle on a razor I've ever used - but absolutely hate the blade and the strips that completely bracket it. The strips get goopy and sticky and the blades seem to …Read more

I've been using this since 2002. I still use the original cartridges and aqua handle - I've never been tempted by any of the "new" varieties. The price is obscene (~US$20 for 8 cartridges), but it gives such a great shave, with minimal nicks, that I don't see myself switching any time soon. In a perfect world, I'd like to change the cartridge every week, but at that …Read more

These razors are absolutely wonderful! I originally used the Bic-Soleil Razor and always got nicked, so I decided to make the switch over to these Gilette-Venus shavers. I do not actually use the Venus shaving cream; I use just a regular body wash to lather up, and these razors are so gentle that I never get any cuts! NO CUTS = HAPPINESS. Loveee.

In terms of the head, it's …Read more

I love this. Tried eco razors to no avail. I also like the pop of blue in my shower.

My only razor since 2003. Getting a close, smooth shave is one of the most important things in my grooming routine, and I've never found anything that achieves that ideal better than the Venus. In the past I've used it with Lush Ambrosia shaving lotion to excellent effect; that's a bit expensive, though, so I now shave with Dove bar soap. This probably sounds like a recipe for …Read more

I'm on my way to buy another one right now. After trying all kinds of wax, straps, hair removals, as well as pretty much all the razors from Venus product line (I'm not hairy, but I can't stand even a tiny bit of hair on my legs :p), I'm still sticking with the original Venus blue razor. It is the most convenient to use out all and gives me soft glowing skin all year long …Read more

I agree completely with SashaMcK, I thought I was the only one until my sister told me it was like that for her too. My legs would be super smooth and nice for one night the next night I would feel stubble. I have to find a better razor because I can't keep using this. It is really good because it doesn't cut you and maybe it's just me but I shaved a little quicker with this razor …Read more

I must say, I live in Malaysia and this was the only Gillette Venus they have. If they had the Gillette Venus Embrace, I would buy it cuhs it has 5 blades and a really close shave, but sadly, no. So after reading a few reviews, I got excited (I'm 14 btw so I'm new to shaving) and bought it. When I first tried it, it kept me smooth for one day only and the next day I was already feeling …Read more
