5.0 out of 5 stars Great shave, no rash/bumps/nicks!, April 7, 2008

(What's this?)

I really enjoy this razor. I have extremely sensitive skin and every shave usually equates to a miserable bout of rash and irritation. This is the first time I have shaved in years without any problems.

The razor is easy to grip and has a very light nick-free action. I got a very smooth shave the first pass (didn't have to shave the same spot twice). It worked equally well on my legs and underarms. It rinses effortlessly thanks to the design.

The suction cup shower holder did not work on my walls. Irrelevant to me but that might be of interest to others. I'd definitely seek out and buy this product again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Eh, not bad, but not great!, April 10, 2008

This review is from: Gillette Venus Embrace Womens Razor, 1 Razor 2 Razor Refill Cartridges Kit (Health and Beauty)

(What's this?)

I'm not that impressed with this razor. I am one of those people that can go about a week in between shavings. My hair on my legs doesn't grow fast and when it does it's not that coarse. After using this razor several times the results were that I always felt or could see hair the next day or two days later. That leads me to believe that with 5 blades, it's still not a close shave.

I also felt the razor head was surrounded on all four sides with way too much plastic; making the shaving of more delicate areas, bikini line, etc, a little more challenging. I felt I was doing some serious contorting in the shower this morning, and felt if I could have removed some of the bulky plastic, I would have been much better off.

I did like the shower case that suctioned to the shower wall, I liked that a lot. I also enjoyed the fact that I didn't have any razor burn or bumps.

All in all I just don't think it's worth the hype. The 5 blades didn't do anything more or extra that I could tell, and the surrounding plastic hindered anything the blades could have possibly done.

3.0 out of 5 stars very good, very bad, June 15, 2008

there are definite pro's and con's with this razor, and their all pretty big in my opinion..

Pro:

5 blades give you a super close shave

squishy grip makes it easy to hold onto and control

moisture strips seem to hold up alot longer than the original venus

the shower caddy is small and blends in with tile

Con:

extreamly expensive!! replacement blades are $12+

large head is difficult to manuver around crevices and does not get all hair from bikini area

shower caddy only holds two blades

moisture strips and rubber around head hold onto hairs, hard to clean

overall the razor is ok, its good for leg shaving but very difficult to do any underarm/bikini areas, not to mention its probably the most expensive razor i've ever seen.. its been good while i've had it but i doubt i'll purchase it again, its way too expensive to not be able to shave all areas of the body i'd like.
