Very overpriced. I bought these a few times only because I saw them at Costco. They have comparable versions at Target that are exactly the same. I will not repurchase.

Great razor. I've been using these for a long time and it does what it's supposed to, and I rarely get nicks and cuts, usually it's from me being careless while shaving. The replacement heads...

Worst razor ever. It's like the manufacturers don't take us seriously because we aren't using these on our face and they think we don't shave every day. I like the flat handle - it's the best...

I've been using this since 2002. I still use the original cartridges and aqua handle - I've never been tempted by any of the "new" varieties. The price is obscene (~US$20 for 8 cartridges), but it...

These razors are absolutely wonderful! I originally used the Bic-Soleil Razor and always got nicked, so I decided to make the switch over to these Gilette-Venus shavers. I do not actually use the...

I love this. Tried eco razors to no avail. I also like the pop of blue in my shower.

My only razor since 2003. Getting a close, smooth shave is one of the most important things in my grooming routine, and I've never found anything that achieves that ideal better than the Venus. In...

I'm on my way to buy another one right now. After trying all kinds of wax, straps, hair removals, as well as pretty much all the razors from Venus product line (I'm not hairy, but I can't stand...

I agree completely with SashaMcK, I thought I was the only one until my sister told me it was like that for her too. My legs would be super smooth and nice for one night the next night I would feel...

I must say, I live in Malaysia and this was the only Gillette Venus they have. If they had the Gillette Venus Embrace, I would buy it cuhs it has 5 blades and a really close shave, but sadly, no....

These razors are overpriced for what they offer. They don't last long, and after using just once, they fail to retain a close shave. They do, however, minimize the chances for nicks. Personally, I...

These are decent razors, but they are expensive and don't last very long. I can use 2-3X and then I have to discard. Schick Quattro blades do a better job, cost less, and last a lot longer.

Used to use this before I moved on to Schick Quattro...which I find is a lot easier to use. The Venus razor gave me cuts at curves and didn't have enough of that lubricant patch that I seem to like...

I got this Venus razor for free using coupons at CVS, but was very disappointed with its performance. It doesn't give a better shave than a disposable. I have been shaving my legs for 40 years...

These are the only razors that don't give me major razor rash. For some reason, all of the other razors do. It also gives a close shave and often comes in lots of pretty colors. (I'm a sucker for...

Best razor ever. It leaves a smoothing effect on me. Plus, it's the only razor that doesn't cause any cuts and bleeding, at least for me. The packaging looks good, but it's way to difficult to open...
