    This razor is the best I have used. It leaves your body feeling smooth, and it doesn't nick and cut. I highly recommend you pay the awful price to get one. It is so worth it!

    I used to use the original Venus razor a few years ago, until I got a free Gillette razor one day and I sort of forgot about Venus. But I just tried Venus Embrace in the disposable razors and they reminded me how great Venus is! There is some gel surrounding the blades that coats your skin so I didn't even use shaving cream with it, I just wet my legs and went for it! And the results were really great. My legs felt oh so smooth all day long!

    I'm going to purchase this in the "non-disposable" version and recommend it to my friends.

    This is definitely the best razor I've ever used. It leaves my skin really smooth and it gets every single hair in one shave. One blade lasts me for quite a long time, compared to Schick intuition.

    The only downside is the price. The cheapest sale price I've seen is $6-$8, but I think it's still worth it.

    Im going to say this, Venus Embrace is 100 times better than Intuition. i used to think the the thick slab of shaving gel was really a plus side, but i guess smaller is better in the case of Venus embrace.

    the first time i used it, i didn't have to use it again for about 1 week. thats how long it took for the hair to regrow. with other rasors, it takes 3 days. so yes i am a keeper when it comes to this.

    with the number of blades and the swilleing head, i love this product, and would vouch for it in my sleep!

    This is by far one of the best razors I have ever used. It is a good size and the design suits quite well. The price is good, and the blade are some of the cheapest out there. Doesn't require shaving cream, but I like to use both anyhow. This is my blade of choice.

    Best razor, hands down. I don't get ingrown hairs, it's very easy to use, gentle and gives a close shave.

    I love this razor! It is by far the best razor that I have tried. It makes my legs so smooth and silky feeling. It normally just takes one stroke of the razor to achieve a smooth shave. I very rarely get razor cuts, burns or bumps and the cartridges last for many uses. When I do need to replace the cartridge, I simply push a lever up on the back of the razor and the cartridge pops off easily. I then reach into my handy storage compartment and take a replacement cartridge out and pop it right on to the top of the razor until I hear a little snap. The storage compartment not only holds the refills, it holds the razor as well. I just snap it on to the front cover when I am done and forget about it until next time.

    It hits the right spots and leaves my legs feeling softer than they've ever been.

    This 5-bladed razor is amazing. When I first held the package and looked at the razor from outside, the blue moisturizing strip surrounding the razor head seemed like just an appealing decoration, and the grip looked rock hard, but when I actually opened the prouduct I realized that I was wrong...I see that the razor simply sat on the shower pod. Easy to lift the razor up from it's seat, and simple to place back.

    The grip was NOT rock hard, in fact, it was pretty fun to hold and squish the flexible grips on the handle. The colors were very summery and it just makes you feel good. The razor head can be removed easily by pushing a small button-- it just pops out!

    When I actually used Embrace, despite reviews mentioning the razor head being so large it became awkward to use, it isn't true. The size is perfect and when used with any amount of shaving foam, glides incredibly smoothly thanks to the thick moisturizing strips, while removing every single hair. What can I say? Venus Embrace is THE PERFECT RAZOR.

    Just an update- 4 years later and I'm still using the same razor. I haven't even had to replaced to handle, I only ever needed to replace the blades.
