I had this as a sample I just got around to trying - Wow I would NEVER buy this product.

It claims to have moisture-rich shaving cream bars so you don't need to use actual shaving cream. And it sort of works at first, though no visible lather is produced.

This razor works 5 times, for full legs, armpits and bikini area, and after that the shaving cream bar is so diminished that the plastic base it sits on is exposed and scrapes your skin! You can actually hear it scraaaappee in that terrible dry-shaving way we all are familiar with.

Adding shaving cream doesn't help either because the plastic bit is still there, and actually adding more shaving cream just clogs up the razro blades.

That's another downfall - you have to rinse the razor as you're shaving, but rinsing this one just further diminishes the soap!

So I am now left with a perfectly sharp, pretty unuseable razor - I will continue to use it on my armpits until the bottom bar exposes the plastic because my armpits are curved enough that the bottom bit of shaving cream bar still hits my skin first in that area. But yeah, so happy I didn't actually shell out money for this waste of plastic and metal.

I picked this new Venus Pro-Skin Moisture Rich razor up only because it was on sale for $8 and I had a coupon for $3 off. Other wise I don’t think I would have bothered trying it and not because of the price, because I haven’t had much luck with they’re other razors that have shave gel bars. They always seem to melt away long before the razor has lost it effectiveness. This new Venus Pro-Skin Moisture rich razor has two gel bars that are enriched with a triple blend of body butters for a comfortable shave, each cartridge has three blades and the handle is nice and sleek and sits in your hand comfortably. The refill cartridges are made to be interchangeable with they’re other razors; this one comes with a shower hook for your convenience and two cartridges per new razor package. All you have to do is add a little water to the razor and you are ready to shave. I found it quit comfortable in my hand and had no fear of it slipping out of my grip. The bars left a silky feel and the three blades gave me a close comfortable shave leaving my legs silky smooth, just the way I like them. How ever my fear of the gel bars melting away came true with these blades as well leaving me disappointed ounce again. I’m not sure if this was because it was left in the shower and the heat from everyone showering caused the shave gel bars to melt away, or if they’re just not made well. I was only able to get one good shave out of this razor. The next time I went to use it the shave gel bars were melted back past the razor blades and I almost took a chink out of my arm pit with it. I had to turn the razor over to be able to put the shave gel on, then turn the razor back over to shave. It still shaved very well, but who wants to go though all that especially when they were suppose to made so you didn’t have to use shaving cream, or shaving gel. The new Venus Pro-Skin Moisture Rich Razor gets a big thumbs down from me!.
