These razors handle easily and the pivoting head easily glides over knees and under the arms without cutting. They also don't leave painful razor burn under the arms like some razors do. Overall, this is a pretty safe razor and it does the job.

really like the size and the handle grip, glide is easy, no cuts but find the price is a bit high

I enjoy using this product. The handle feels great to hold and it gives me a nice smooth shave. It shaves close enough to the skin to make it smooth, but at the same time it does not dry or harm the skin. The only negative thing I have to say is the area around the razor could be smaller, considering you have to use shaving cream and it doesn't have the cream strips.

These razors are easy to handle, and shave the hair easily.

I've always been a big fan of Gillette's Venus product and this one is no exception. As always, this is a great product. It has a great slip grip handle and the razor glides really well on your legs and armpits. The ribbon of moisture makes it last longer without having to use much, is any, shaving cream for the 1st few usage.
I love that it comes with a holder and 2 extra blades.

I've received these from ChickAdvisor Review Club (thank you Chickadvisor) to test out & here is what I think:
So I first started off using the Venus Breeze razor and I did enjoy how it had that nice feature of being a gel bar. It was an easy glide and it did leave my skin feeling extra soft because I think it was the gel. But when I used either Venus Spa Breeze with White Tea or ProSkin I had a little accident where the blade cut me. I was quite surprised that that happened because razors never cut me.
The handle I liked the most out of all these razors was the Venus & Olay one. I found it had a really good grip to it and the scent, especially the sugar berry one was amazing! I liked how it did have 5 blades. But I don't like how it only had one extra cartridge in it. I think razors like this are great especially for the winter when your skin is so dry or if you're like me and don't have time to moisturize because you are in such a rush in the mornings. I did prefer those that had a moisturize bar or gel bar vs. ones that did not because it helped me get less in grown hair and it just felt much more luxurious. But it looks like the Venus Spa Breeze gel bar is going to come off because of the way its warring down.
I loved the razors that came with a shower hook. I've never owned a razor that came with this and I thought it was such a smart idea and it lets the ones with the moisturizer bar to dry quicker.
The Venus Original 3-blade my least favorite because it did not leave my skin as soft and it felt like one stroke was not enough. That is why I sometimes preferred the razors that had 5 blades compared to the standard 3. But with that being said, it does get the job done. The Venus Embrace had a good grip, but not my favorite, it would be if you liked simple razors, the same thing goes with Gillette Venus one.
But my favorite thing about these razors is they are reusable and come with refills. The Venus & Olay razor is now becoming my new favorite razor. Price could be better but worth the splurge because the quality is great, better than schick quattro one I use.

I was really surprised when this parcel arrived, I was not expecting that many razors! Which in turn meant lots of testing and little excuse to not shave over the last few weeks ;) I had to be sure to use every last one of these so I could give a proper review of the products. Prior to this I had no idea there were so many different varieties of Venus Razors!

Just a little bit of a background of what I was using previous to these razors and my hair type/growth (for those interested)
I have been using men's razors for years now, since they have in the past performed much better than women's razors which I had previously used.
I have fairly fine hair, that does not grow back very quickly (probably need 4-6 days between shaves before I start seeing any re-growth) My hair also tends to grow in very sparsely and fine in texture

These razors that I had tested varied by blade count and different types of moisture/shave gel bars. I would have to say I preferred the 5 blade razors over the 3 blade. I found myself going over spots multiple times to try and get rid of the hair completely with the 3 blade razors, the 5 blade definitely did a better job but did require to go over the area more than once to get a close smooth shave. I love that these come in so many different varieties, there truly is something for every one with this line of products

In terms of the moisture/shave bars, I really liked the Venus Breeze (Pink) it smelled divine & didn't goop too much like some of the others while shaving. I like the idea of not having to prep my skin before shaving with either conditioner or baby oil (I don't use shaving gel), and my skin was surprisingly hydrated after I got out of the shower regardless of which razor was used. Usually my skin does dry out after shaving and I have to moisturise like crazy. The handles to me didn't make much of a difference but I did think it was pretty cool that you can swap out different tops with bottoms, it's fun but not completely necessary. I think they could improve a little on the little device that holds the razor to the handle, I had a couple of the heads fall off while in the shower but maybe I was being a little rough(?)

Overall I was impressed with the razors, they definitely will replace the spot of my usual man razor's for the time being as they do a pretty good job but I am not convinced that I would switch over to these just yet. I will definitely be sharing and recommending these to my friends as it was a good quality product at a fair price & in comparison to the other razors for women on the market I would say that these would be the best bang for your buck based on previous products I have used. I will definitely consider purchasing these in the future! Thank you ChickAdvisor team for this fantastic opportunity!

I received this razor a sample from Chick Advisor as part of the Review Club. I've always loved this 3 blade razor ever since they came out with it. It has ans will always be a go to when in need!
It has a great slip grip handle and the head is nice a smooth and follow the curves of your legs very well.

I tried these products free of charge courtesy of the Review Club.

I am already a regular user of the "embrace" so it was nice to get to try new scents and blades.

The main selling point for venus razors is how awesome it is to have interchangeable razor heads! We no longer have to worry about buying the same razors to use with our existing handles. When I took out all the packaging to compare the handles, there was no wow. The handles are pretty similar. It is only a matter of personal color preference.

The number of blades vary from 3-5. I definitely prefer the razors that had 5 blades as I am not as scared of getting cuts. The 3 blades are ok...pretty standard but I feel like it is a thing of the past! lol

I like the fact that cartridges are individually sealed.

The moisture bars are handy when you're in a rush and shower/shave because there isn't a need for a separate product. The scented bars were a nice touch. Definitely not used to scented razors!

For a starter kit, definitely get the one that comes with a shower pod that includes the suction cups! Super handy! Not only do you get a place to stash the replacement cartridges...you also won't have to leave your razor lying around everywhere.

Favourites:
cartridge: olay featuring the sugarberry scent.
handle: "breeze" purely because its my favourite color
shower pod: "embrace"

For years I used Venus razors but eventually switched to men's razors as I found they gave a closer shave.

I just recently switched back to Venus razors when I discovered their shave gel bar lines and was glad to get the chance to test out some of their other razors.

First off with the handles, personally I found them all pretty much the same. I couldn't tell the difference between them when I used them. I must say they do look great though, I love the colours, especially the green and blue Embrace.

I first started by testing the Venus Original and Divine. Neither of them really wowed me. They're both pretty standard, no frills. I found they didn't give me that close of a shave and I didn't notice the moisture strips on the Divine being anything to rave about. I probably wouldn't buy the refills for these two.

The next two I compared were the Embrace and Proskin. Again I like the colours of the Embrace, but that's about it. I found the razor head to be too big (which oddly enough I didn't feel that way about the other 5 blade razors) and a bit awkward to shave with. I am in love with the shave gel razors that Venus has come out with so the Proskin got top marks in my books! I just love how convenient these razors are, no shaving cream needed is a major plus. They're great for a quick shave in the morning and for traveling! I also found that despite only having 3 blades like the non-shave gel razors I felt like I got a closer shave.

The next two I compared were the Breeze and Venus & Olay Razor in Sugarberry. Seeing as they both have the shave gel bars I knew I would love that part of them. The razor I was using before getting this product review was the Venus Spa Breeze, as far as I could tell the Breeze was the same thing, just a different colour/scent. I really like the smell of the Spa Breeze bars, but found I wasn't a big fan of the scent of the Breeze, it was too flowery for me. I probably won't buy the Breeze refills because of the scent, but will continue to use the Spa Breeze.

I am completely in love with the Venus & Olay razors. My first experience with the shave gel bars was last year when I got the original Venus & Olay razor from a monthly beauty box. The 5 blades give a very close shave and this was the razor that brought me back to Venus razors after using men's for a long time. Since I've used the original one before I decided to test the Sugarberry version. I must say I am in love with the scent of this razor!


Out of all of the razors, the Venus & Olay are my favourite. Though I do find the Olay refills cost more than the others, and I did have an issue for a while when I first used them with finding them in stores (which is why I switched to the Spa Breeze).


That being said, I love that the razors are interchangeable, when I buy I like to see what's on sale/cheaper, but always just stick to whatever line I have a handle for. I am glad that they offer a variety of different razors with the moisture bars, I love them all so now I can change things up between them whenever I choose!
