I used to love this razor... but I switched to Gillette Mach 3 turbo men's razors. Actually cheaper, and WAY better. The blades last so much longer too. These women's razors are such a marketing plow....Read more

In the five or so years I've used the Venus I don't think I can remember more than one or two nicks and cuts I've gotten, which is amazing considering how I abuse my razor. I hardly ever change the b...Read more

This doesn't give me a close enough shave. I used it for years. Then one day I decided to get a different type of razor, and I realized I was missing out on smoother legs. I so like that the head fold...Read more

I just love this razor! It goes over my knees and inside my armpits so smoothly and I can honestly say I haven't cut myself with it the whole time I have used it, which I think has been over a year --...Read more

This is the ONLY thing I can use for de fuzzing my under arms and legs with no repurcussions.

Only downside as is price of replacement heads, and the packet is a pain to get into.

I keep going back for the refills even though they are pricey. Best shave ever, and the handle is easy to hold onto and comfortable in my hand - no dropping or slipping around. The razors stay sharp f...Read more

I always get a great shave from this razor - silky smooth skin, very rare nicks and no irritation. My list of products to use with this, in order of first preference is: Lush Ambrosia, a natural exfol...Read more

The Venus works fine; the shave is close enough, and it doesn't give you razor burn or anything, but it is not worth the price of the replacement cartridges. They don't last too long, so you end up s...Read more

Just the best razor I've ever tried. The replacement blades are quite expensive, but worth every single penny. In conjunction with the Gillette Shave Gel for Sensitive Skin (see my review on that one)...Read more

Without question, this is the best razor I've used. It gives me the closest shave with the fewest nicks. I've been using this for years, and I won't give it up. I do think that the replacement blad...Read more

This gives a very close shave and leaves my legs very smooth! it is my favorite, but i find that the replacements cost alot so you might aswell buy a new razor each time.

Schick Quattro works much better. I found that Venus is harder to maneuver on my legs and doesn't give as close of a shave - I would end up with stubble and razor burn! I don't know if it's because I ...Read more

I like this razor, but I hate the fact that I only get about 4 shaves out of it. The moisture strips do absolutely nothing for me, but I get a close shave so I'll keep buying it. I wish the replacemen...Read more

Horrible! The gel only lasts for about 3 uses and I never get a close shave with this. Also, the blades are expensive and are junk. I hate to say it, but once again the men's products are better. I l...Read more
