5.0 out of 5 stars No more cuts!
If you are somehow managing to cut yourself, no matter how carefully you think you are shaving... and you are fed up with it, then these are the razors you need to try. Now, bear in mind this item is just the refill pack for the blades, but it is a good price. So, just get your Venus at the Target center on Amazon.com & then stock up on these blade refills. I...

2.0 out of 5 stars Was Revolutionary Once, Not Anymore
I've been using the Venus Divine for years but the replacement blades were out of stock at my store of choice so I had to downgrade to the basic Venus blades (all Venus blades work on all handles). I figured it was a couple bucks cheaper and probably just as good. Maybe I'd save some money in the long run.

Unfortunately, I won't be saving any money. Although...

If you are somehow managing to cut yourself, no matter how carefully you think you are shaving... and you are fed up with it, then these are the razors you need to try. Now, bear in mind this item is just the refill pack for the blades, but it is a good price. So, just get your Venus at the Target center on Amazon.com & then stock up on these blade refills. I actually do a great job with the Venus razor... no cuts at all! And verrrry smooth! :) And the color strip, also a moisturizer, tells exactly when it is time for a blade change.

This razor is great to use for men. I use the razor to shave my arms and chest and it gives you a smooth shave with no cuts.

4.0 out of 5 stars No cuts, mach 3 gets closer, June 23, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Gillette Venus Shaving Cartridges for Women, 8-Count Package (Health and Beauty)
I like the smooth feeling of the Mach 3, even if it is a masculine color. The Venus just doesn't get as close. Good on your knees, if you tend to nick yourself there. I'm sticking to the Mach 3 for a longer-lasting shave.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, June 30, 2006
This review is from: Gillette Venus Shaving Cartridges for Women, 8-Count Package (Health and Beauty)
Great addition to your Gillette Venus Razor. The cartridges are really gentle on a woman's skin and have a protective strip above the razor. I always shave in a hurry and ever since I switched to these, I have never cut my skin, and the shave is so smooth, I cant stop touching myself :)

2.0 out of 5 stars Was Revolutionary Once, Not Anymore, November 16, 2009
This review is from: Gillette Venus Shaving Cartridges for Women, 8-Count Package (Health and Beauty)
I've been using the Venus Divine for years but the replacement blades were out of stock at my store of choice so I had to downgrade to the basic Venus blades (all Venus blades work on all handles). I figured it was a couple bucks cheaper and probably just as good. Maybe I'd save some money in the long run.

Unfortunately, I won't be saving any money. Although both blades have the same shape and 3 blades, regular Venus blades cut me up without fail. Sometimes I wouldn't even notice and I'd find blood on my white towels or sheets. I noticed a major increase in irritation and even had some bumps become infected. Even my lower legs, which have always been the easiest place for me to get a perfect shave felt rough after using these blades. I'd always find patches I missed later, too.

I always use a very high quality shaving cream to reduce irritation but even it can't compete with the amateur performance of Venus blades and I can tell you exactly why. Regular Venus blades do not have the comfort coating, smoothing cushions or multiple moisture strips of the Divine. In my book, those features are definitely worth paying more.

I am so happy that I bought this on amazon than at walmart. It comes in 8 instead of 6 and it is about $6 less. Plus no shipping cost and under $25. What can be better than that?

4.0 out of 5 stars Smooth, October 27, 2008

Gilette Shaving Cartridges / B00005AUIE

Seems like no matter what I shave with, I get painful ingrown hairs afterwards, so I've pretty much given up on shaving unless I absolutely have to. However, for those times when I must, I feel that the Venus razors cause the fewest ingrown hairs, so I rely on these to minimize problems. These babies are sharp as can be - I'm not sure about the "no nicks" part, since they certainly can and do cut up my knees and ankles if I'm not super careful. Probably I'm just clumsy.

These refill cartriges work with the Gillette Venus Razor,.

These are quite a bit cheaper than the price at retailers near me, and they are the same product. You can expect exactly what you get from this product when you buy it in the store. It didn't seem any different.
