Nothing special

I've been a bit disappointed with this product to say how much it costs. I dont find it does an effective job of shaving my legs and underarms and find im always still stubbly after my shower.

Feels Divine - Poor Bladelife Though

I hesitated to try Venus Swirl before just due to the expense. However, a combination of sensitive legs due to neuropathy and dry skin, made me decide to give it a try when I saw it on sale.

First, it feels so much more comfortable on my skin compared to razor alone or razor and shaving cream. I find that it was quite effective, 2 strokes per area sufficed, and my legs were left soft and smooth. The scent was just an added bonus. I really like the little storage thing going it comes with so you can hang it up and keep away from water flow to prevent loss of the lotion bar when not in use.

The main con is really that the blade goes dull a lot quicker than others. I did not get the amount of uses out of it that the package claims. I shave my legs about three times a week and if I remember right the chart on package said I could expect blade to last 4-6 weeks. Not even close. At the fourth shave (not use) it gets a little uncomfortable as the blade drags a bit and catches on skin. On sixth shave its actually tearing my skin and isn't comfortable anymore. I can in best of circumstances, go to four uses, possibly to five, but definitely not to six. That means for me a blade lasts around week and a half. It gets pretty expensive at that blade use rate.

It's a little bit depressing, I won't lie. It works so great but only for a short time and for quite a bit less than they say it does. A few things though. They are way cheaper per blade at Costco. They sell a pack of 9 pack there that is gentler on the budget. It goes on sale once in awhile so it's an opportunity to stock up for more value if it's in your budfet to spend more now to save later. If you have an loyalty points programs you are part of you can save money by redeeming points.

I love how they work, just wish they were more durable and blades stayed sharp longer. My recommendation for these, if you don't mind razors and shaving cream you might get more bang for your buck, or in this case, more blade for your buck, by sticking to that. However, if your legs are sensitive or you want to shorten shower time by shaving legs quicker, and it's in your budget, I recommend Venus Swirl. I think I will be sticking with them now that I know I can get a good price at Costco.

Just a razor

I've only bought this on sale. And would only buy this on sale. The razor itself lasts for about a month. Which is pretty good. I don't find it much of a smoother shave than other razors. Love the purple handle. But that about all I love.

Same old, same old.

The razor works well and the handle is a pretty purple but it is pretty basic. I didn't find the blade stayed sharp long. The price is crazy and I don't buy reusables for that reason. They do have a nicer, longer lasting handle though, so I splurged. I don't find it gets as close to my skin as I would like. I feel stubble after a shave with the new blade and I have pretty fine hair.

Could Be Better

Honestly I didn't like this razor.. I very rarely cut myself shaving but with this razor I did Everytime .. I didn't find it worked very well.. I wasn't long getting a new one.. I honestly wouldn't Reccomend this razor to anyone.

Junkie

I am not satisfied at all. the first shave was good, but all in all hair still appears the very next day! Does not slide with my body curves. Quite a few Nicks and cant reach spots without going over it 4 times. Irriated my skin and created Rash on Bikini line, and armpits still missed alot of hair. Does not Slime in the shower, that is good. Have to apply pressure, I am uncomfortable with that..It is a Razor. Price is okay but not to purchase new heads once a week. Disappointed with Gillette this time around

I was gifted these blades for Christmas and tried them out. I find the moisture ring around the edge so wide that it makes it difficult to get a close shave in any curved areas (underarms, bikini line). I do like the 5 blades but prefer men's razors over this one.

I usually use a regular Gillette Venus razor but decided to give this one a try.
I cannot compare this to a disposable razor, because it has multiple blades (I've never found a disposable with more than 3 blades), but I can compare it to my usual razor.
I love the color of the razor - it is beautiful and purple and goes well with my bathroom décor. The first few shaves were good, but no better than any other razor I have used. The blades seem to get dull faster than my usual Venus razor, maybe because you have to PUSH to active the roller ball? The roller ball idea is a flop. You have to push SO HARD on the razor to activate the roller ball. Shaving with this razor hurt my wrist. This idea is a flop. Stick with regular Gillette Venus, it is less expensive and works better. This gimmick is not worth the extra cost.

I based my purchase on the ad I had seen in a magazine and it was not worth the money, the first few shaves were alright but it needed a new blade by the time the week was up. I would personally not recommend it for those of us who have to shave legs and underarms daily.

This is a good product i will say go for it ... similar to other or this company's previous products... cleans well .. and hygienic product i would say ..
