Hello silky goodness!

PROS: Super smooth legs

CONS: Go through blades fast

I love love love the feeling of silky smooth legs & this razor makes it possible! It's easy to use and I've never cut myself using this razor. The one thing I don't like is I seem to go through the blades quickly. I am able to use it for awhile, but I feel like it gets dull fast - I do use it alot too, though.

Final Verdict: Love me some Gillette Venus

QUICK TIPS: make sure your skin is wet and lathered up with soap before using

A Premium Shaver

7 months ago

PROS: close and smooth shave

QUICK TIPS: Dry your razor with a towel when you are done. It prevents rusting and the blade will stay sharper. It will last longer!

This is an excellent shaver. The gel bar lubricates the legs so that the razor glides effortlessly over your skin. There is no razor burn at all. Plus, you only have to go over each area once, so shaving time is fast. They last a long time, and anything that makes shaving faster is great to me!

Final Verdict: One of the best

PROS: protects skin with moisture strip, 3 blades give a close shave

QUICK TIPS: keep razor away from water after your shower/bath so the strip dries up and lasts longer!! otherwise it gets wet and slimey and falls off

omg how many are there? just when i thought i reviewed one, i see another! i love the layer of film and the 3 blades. gets a nice close shave. annoying though because after a few uses the strip always peels off!!!!!

Gillette® Venus® Proskin™ Razor

8 months ago

PROS: No shaving cream needed.

QUICK TIPS: Keep your razor dry when not in use for longer usage.

The Gillette® Venus® Proskin™ Razor is amazing, it leaves your skin so soft and silky smooth. I don't ever have to use shaving cream when using this razor, my legs are never left irritated or dry, instead they are hydrated and ready to go.

Final Verdict: Cool razor, saves time.

Breana S.

Really love this razor

6 months ago

PROS: Great for a smooth shave.

CONS: Smoothness doesn't last long without a shaving cream or cream body wash.

QUICK TIPS: I recommend using OLAY body wash when using this razor.

This razor is pretty darn fantastic. It gives a smooth somewhat long lasting shave. I do recommend using a nice shaving cream or cream body wash like OLAY for an even better feel. Believe me, your boyfriend will be thanking you later when you plop on the couch and throw your legs in his lap. This razor feels just like using a men's razor and that's pretty good, huh? Say "NO" to cactus legs!

Recommend yes

I think the blades are a bit too sharp (which could be great for another woman!) but my skin is too sensitive and it gets burned :( but the soap on either side of the blade is really nice and moisturizing.

Decent Razor, but Pricey!

8 months ago

I've tried every razor in the book and while this one rates high on effectiveness, my main complaint is that the "shave gel bars" run out only after a few shaves. Not worth the price if I have to toss them out after a couple of days.

Final Verdict: Works well, doesn't last long.

PROS: close shave, moisturizing, protects skin

CONS: expensive

This razor comes with two big moisturizing bars that actually work really well. They are supposed to protect skin from little cuts as well as moisturize your skin after the shave. I usually get a really nice, close shave from these razors and have bought them the past few times in a row, even though they are a bit more expensive than the rest of the venus cartridges.

I prefer this one to the intuition. This one isnt as bulky but leaves your legs just as smooth!

Nyetta D. Answers:

I was using the intuition before I bought the Venus. Every since then I've never went back to the intuition. It just didn't conform to my legs right.

Yaisha D. Answers:

I HATE Schick intuition! Its so bulky and its weird for getting into places like my bikini area and behind my knees. The venus razors are much more sleek and adjusts perfectly to the curves of your body.

Brennah L. Answers:

The Venus is better. And the razors last longer than the Intuition.

Lisa G. Answers:

This one is much better, I used to use the intuition but I like that this one is smaller so it's easier to shave the bikini area and it is much better blade.

By using this razor your legs feel more moisturized and you do not need to buy a separate shaving cream, so you end up saving money.

Jessica C. Answers:

There is moisturizer built it. No shaving foam required to keep your legs soft. Especially good for the dry winter weather coming up.
Functionally, it the same as the rest of the Venus line (which is the only razor brand have used for the last 15 years)

Katie K. Answers:

I believe its the type of moisturizer above the blade that makes the difference. I know that is leaves your legs sooo smooth after you shave them. They are also not dried out or anything.

Lauren P. Answers:

This one is much more moisturizing and doesn't require shaving cream.

Valerie B. Answers:

This one provides more moisture since the gel bars have "a triple blend of butters" Sounds betters for your skin and you can certainly feel the difference.
