If you want the absolute worse shave of your life and to finish with lots of cuts and missed stubble, then by all means use Gillette Venus Original with 3 blades. I actually ended up shaving my other leg with the men's Fusion because I just couldn't take the torture anymore.

You will feel every blade scrape down your leg, no matter if you use soap or expensive shaving cream. You will go over the same spot more than once and STILL manage to not get the stubble.

The fourth or fifth time I used the Gillette Venus Original with 3 blades my legs either toughened up or the blade dulled enough so as not to inflict me with anymore torture. but that being said, I will never buy the 3 blade Venus ever again. I don't think I'm even going to bother using my second cartridge. Maybe I'll give it to my mother-in-law to try out...
