    The best razor ever. A little expensive but worth it. It is the only razor I will use on my bikini line no matter how desperate I am! My husband even loves to use them because they work better than a mens razor in his thick beard.

    This is a great razor, it has my wondering how I ever used any of razor, and for such a long time. It left my legs very soft and smooth. I also noticed that I have been nicking myself less with this razor, which is great because let's face it, who likes to get nicked shaving? That's right- nobody. I was also impressed with the price of this razor, it was competitively priced and at this price there is really no use in going back to regular old disposable razors. I have even caught my husband using this razor to shave his face, which is ironic because I used to always borrow his razor, now the tables have turned.

    I've been using the Gillette Venus Breeze 2-in-1 Razor daily for about 3 months now and am hooked. I must say as a busy Mom with a hectic schedule any product that makes my morning routine quicker, is GOLD with me! lol

    Here are my Pros & Cons on the Gillette Venus 2-in-1 Razor!

    Pros

    ~ It's Pretty! Let's face it, looks do matter. This product looks as nice as it is functional.
    ~ Scent. It has a very nice fragrance, I noticed this the second I opened the package.
    ~ It feels great in the hand, has a nice grip which makes it easy to use in the bath or shower. No slipping, which often leads to nicks and cuts.
    ~ The added shave gel strips mean no need for an addition shave gel. They work well, the razor glides smoothly. Tip! Wet the razor and legs well before use!
    ~ Provides a very close shave, leaving legs smooth. Works on even the shortest of stubble. Lets face it, that is what we all want from a razor. Tip! Do not apply pressure while shaving. Doing so will result in irritation. When I first used this system, I found myself pressing down thinking I needed to do so for best shave gel strip results. You don't, run it over skin gently and you'll love the results.
    ~ This razor comes with an in-shower storage caddy. It stores the razor and additional cartridge refills. No more jumping out mid shower because you need a new cartridge. It's a nice feature!
    ~ Replaceable cartridge heads are a nice eco-friendly option. Meaning you only have the cartridges to throw out not the whole razor like with disposables. Plus with the shave gel strips, there aren't any empty shave gel cans to dispose of either. In my opinion less waste is always good. I found each cartridge lasted me about 3-4 good shaves. May last you longer if you're not a daily "everything" shaver.

    Cons

    ~ Price! $14.95 (CAN) for the system (includes handle, storage caddy and 2 cartridges. It's one of the more expensive systems.
    ~ Price! $18.95 (CAN) for a package of 4 replacement cartridges. It can get expensive.
    ~ I found the shave gel strips will sometime run out before the razor itself meaning early replacement of the cartridge or the use of another shave gel which means more $ spent. Tip! Storing in humid or wet conditions will cause the shave gel strips to dissolve quicker. I suggest storing in a dry location. Storing in shower may not work for you if your shower is in constant use.
    ~ This is not the ideal razor for the bikini line. The head is rather wide, making it difficult to maneuver and get a full close shave. You may want a separate razor for this purpose, but that also mean more $ spent.

    All in all I really like this razor. I feel the pros outweigh the cons, for me anyway! Happy Shaving! :o)

    This is a good 2-in-1 combo. At first, because the shave gel bars come out further than the razor, you have to use it a few times to get a close shave [once the razor peeks through]. But after that, it's nice to not have to buy additional shave gel. The blades give a good shave. The price gets a 5/5 if you buy it at costco [i got the razor plus 12 refill packs for $18 on sale], but it's waaaay more expensive if you buy it at a regular major retailer. An overall good product.
