I've been using it for years and I haven't found a better razor yet. Irritation on my very sensitive skin is minimal and I like the cute, new pink razor. The refills are a little bit pricey but not...

This is awesome!!! I thought my friends were crazy to spend so much money on a razor, but the results are well worth it. I have *no* razor burn anywhere, and no cuts. I shave my entire bikini...

I looove this razor! It makes my legs so smooth, and gives me such a close shave, and I don't have stubble for 2 days (which is a record for me)! I just wish it were cheaper, and I wish it came...

I am not prone to razor burn and always use shaving gel when doing my legs. The venus has given me razor burn on the three separate occasions thatI have tried using it. After my first attempt I...

I've been using this razor pretty much since it was launched and I haven't bothered trying anything else because this works well for me. As other reviewers have said already, the razor is well...

I got this a couple years ago when it first came out (although the price tag did startle me, esp. the refill cartridge prices), loved it, thought it was THE razor for me - close, nick-free shave,...

I've been using this razor since January of 2004. I have no complaints, except for the high price. I think once you try disposable blades, you never go back to cheap razors. I used to TEAR UP my...

I hate to be just about the only person who dislikes this razor...but it sucks. It *does* do a nice, close shave on my legs EXCEPT for along my shin bones. Then I look like Freddy Kruger got a hold...

The price can be steep, especially for the disposable cartridges, but it's well worth the price. No nicks or razorburn and the design makes it easy to hold and navigate.

I really like this razor. The wide head makes shaving quicker and it is awesome on the knee area. I have not cut myself once since I've been using this, and that has been about a year now. Too bad...

I purchased this like I purchase all new razors that come out. My conclusion: Not that great. It is very expensive. I don't feel that I got a close enough shave and I don't like the pivoting head...

I love this razor! Yes, I too have jumped on the Venus bandwagon, and I'm glad I did. After bad results with the Schick Intuition, I almost gave up on changeable blade razors (I'm not sure of the...

What a godsend for sensitive shavers. I used to get horrible razor rash and this along with Jergen's Naturally Smooth have completely changed my legs for the better. The cushions keep the nicks at...

Knock on wood, I’ve been using the Venus for over 18 months and it’s the only razor that hasn’t given me nicks. It’s so easy to use, it just glides up my legs and leaves them silky smooth. It...

Wow! I just used this for the first time and I think it's the closest shave I've ever had! I am a Greek-American, so the hair/stubble on my legs is incredibly dark and thick and dense, plus my...

This is a mixed review. First, the Venus "Divine" blades. I hate them. The strips get goopy and slimy in the shower. Plus I cut myself. I never cut myself with the regular Venus blades. I did...

Holy Grail Razor. Nothing compares for a smooth comfortable shave anywhere you want to shave. I haven't nicked myself once since using these. I would never be without.
