I have no idea why this razor would get anything less than 4 or 5 lippies. This is an amazing razor. Yes, at first, the price seems a bit high, but let me tell you--I've used one single Venus razor...

The blades are really, really sharp. This may sound weird, I just use this to shave my arms and underarms, since I use veet anywhere else. It gets the job done, and does it well. I find I don't...

This is nothing but a joke. The gel bars ( both sides ) are so bulky, I couldn't get the razor to penetrate in order to get it to shave. I even beared down on the razor to get any kind of shave -...

I would never pay this much for a razor unless it was amazing. And it is. I have tried pretty much EVERY razor on the market, and this is the only one that makes my legs smooth and doesn't irritate...

I used to think that all double-, triple-, quintuple-bladed razors were pretty much the same. As long as they were new, they were good. So wrong. After 30-some years of shaving my legs, I finally...

So it really is impossible to cut yourself with these razors. I've always used the super cheap pink plastic ones you get in a bag of 20 for like 3 dollars... and now I know that those razors were...

I have been a loyal devotee to the Venus for years. I have gone back and forth between the regular cartridges and the breeze cartridges, but both work better than anything else. It really does...

Since I started using this razor a couple years ago, I use nothing else to shave. I love that I don´t have to put pressure on it, it just glides and leave my legs so soft and, the reason why I fell...

This is the best basic razor out there, hands down. I've tried almost every Venus razor available (and I'm reviewing them all, the one I haven't gotten to yet is the latest version w/5 blades) and...

This is THE BEST womens razor out there. The shave is smooth and soft, and the head hinges so well and it is so flexible you can literally shave ANYWHERE without nicks and cuts. Believe me, I...

Love the original, bought it years ago and I'm still using it... well sort of. I use the handle with the Embrace heads. But this was THE razor for such a long time.

I had been using the Venus Divine, but found the regular blades in bulk at a warehouse store, so decided to give them a try. Great blade, smooth shave, works well around my knees/ankles. ...

I won't use any other type of razor. If I do I'm guaranteed to have nicks and razor burn galore. With the Venus there is none of that at all. It comes with a convenient holder that can suction to...

My HG razor! After reading reviews about another razor on here (actually a man's razor), I digressed from my Venus. After a few weeks, I couldn't take the razor burn, and came right back! The Venus...
