I received this razor in the Product Review Club. I've used this on in the past because I've received it in sample packages before. I like it for the first shave, but after that, I don't find it as effective. The blades seem to get duller earlier than some of the other razor heads. Also, I don't like the feel of the handle in my hand that much. But overall, it is a decent razor, just one that I wouldn't go out and buy for myself, unless it was on sale.

I first of all want to say a big thank you to chick adviser and Venus for sending me these razors, in no way shape or form has this impacted my review.

The first razor I tried was the Venus & Olay sugarberry razor. I found that this razor did an amazing job removing the hair as well as keeping my legs soft and smooth. Plus I really love the scent! I will definitely be repurchasing this one!

After that I tried the Venus Pro-skin razor, which I also liked. The reason for this being that I found I didn't cut myself with the razor as often, Sometimes when going too fast with the razor I end up getting little cuts and such.

The Venus divine razor i found a little lack luster. I vastly prefer a razor with shave gel bars, I just find that you get a closer and smoother shave. So this one was decent, but no where near my favorite.

The Venus Breeze is an old favorite of mine, mostly due to the lovely scent of the shave gel bars. I found that the bars melted far to quickly with me though, leaving my razor a gooey mess after each use. Making this razor terrible to travel with. Other then that I really like this one too.

The Venus Spa Breeze Razor also had a very nice scent and my beloved shave gel bars. I found that the shave gel bars didn't disintegrate the way the Venus Breeze did. So all in a good razor but not the best.

The Venus & Olay razor was the razor I had been using for a few months prior to this review opportunity, and I can honestly say that I love it. It has left my skin smooth with little to no cuts. I would purchase this razor on my own.

The Venus Embrace was really great because it has 5 blades, but no shave gel bars means that it wasn't my favorite. I always found my skin to be parched after I used this razor so i had to moisturize like nobody's business. This razor was a no go for me. Although I must say this would most likely be my pick for a good travel razor that didn't create mess.

Finally my least favorite razor of all was the Original Venus. It had nothing on it to help moisturize my legs, so I ended up with lots of little cuts. I will not repurchase this razor.

First off I’d like to thank the ChickAdvisor team and Gillette Venus razors for choosing me to do this incredible review.

I have tried a few different Gillette Venus razors in the past, so I had a pretty good idea of what some were like before I even received all of them. There are eight different Gillette Venus razors and blades. So with this many to choose from you’re sure to find one that you’ll fall in love with. The nice thing about the refillable razors is that you can interchange the blades and handles finding a combination that you will love in their refillable line.

The Venus Breeze, Venus Spay Breeze, Venus Pro Skin Moisture-Rich, the Venus & Olay and the Venus & Olay Sugarberry blades all have top and bottom shave gel bars. Each of their handles is a slight bit different, but each one gives you a nice grip.
The Venus Breeze razor shave gel bars have rich body butter and a very nice tropical scent to them and it has three blades. The Venus Spay Breeze blades have a nice white tea scent to the shave gel bars and it also has three blades. This one just happened to come with a magnet for your fridge. I’ve already reviewed this one and that full review can be found here, http://www.chickadvisor.com/item/venus-spa-breeze-razor/

The Pro Skin cartridges have Moisture Rich shave gel bars on the top and bottom of its three blades. I’ve also review the Venus Pro Moisture-Rich razor in the past and that review can be found here, http://www.chickadvisor.com/item/gillette-venus-proskin-moisturerich-razor/

The Venus & Olay razor and the Venus Olay sugarberry razor both have five blades and top and bottom shave gel bars. The Venus & Olay shave gel bars release skin conditioning moisture to help lock in the moisture on your legs. The Sugarberry blades also moisturizes and exfoliates your legs how ever they have a wonderful sugarberry scent to them. Each one of these razors comes with a suction cup shower hook. This makes them easy to stick up in your shower in a convenient place for you and they’re easily removed when it comes time to clean your bathroom.

I found each one of these Venus razors handles with the shave gel bars to be comfortable in my hand and easily handled. I had no problems with them slipping out of my hand when wet. Some handles are soft from the top to the bottom and some have harder plastic through out their handles with rubbery grips. Each one of these razors was fine under my arms and the three blade razors did a fair job, but I found the five blade razors to be a bit better. How ever that wasn’t the case with my legs with either of the razor blades that have the shave gel bars on them. I found that I had to go over the same spots a few times to get all of the hair removed from my legs. I also found that the bars on each of these seem to melt down past the blades with in a few shaves, leaving them pretty much useless, even though the blades were still plenty sharp enough to continue using. Some bars also seemed to get gooey witch I didn’t care for. This disappointed me because I feel if you’re going to spend that much on razor blades then I’d expect the bars to at least last as long as the blades stayed sharp. Even though I liked how each of these blades with the shave gel bars worked to a point and how they left my legs feeling smooth and soft, for this reason and this reason alone I wouldn’t buy more refill blades of this type or recommend them.

The other three I received were the Venus, Venus Divine and the Venus Embrace.

The Venus razor comes with a comfortable handle that is made up of a harder plastic, but it has a nice nonslip soft grip closer to the bottom of its handle. The Venus cartridges are smaller across and it only has three blades but, it does have protective cushions along the top and bottom of the blades. It comes with a shower compact that has double sided tape on the back of it to hang it in your shower. I didn’t care for this, but it does hold your razor and refill blades all in one nice convenient place. The Venus Divine also has three blades, but the blades have top and bottom moisture strips that have a touch of botanical oils that helps you to get a close smooth shave.

The blades on these two are a lot smaller across then the blades with the shave gel bars are and I found the Venus Divine’s handle to be pretty much the same as the Venus handle. This one also came with the same type of compact and is attached to your shower wall in the same manor, so you can store your razor and extra blades right in your shower with this one as well.

These two did a good enough job on both my legs and my under arms. I never received any nicks or cuts, but I didn’t care for their smaller razor blades and the fact that they only have three blades.

The Venus Embrace also has a soft non-slip razor handle how ever it has five blades and top and bottom ribbons of moisture giving you a smooth gliding shave. I found the Venus Embrace blades to be much wider then the rest of this line. This can help you to cover more area and remove more hair in one swipe. I’ve used and reviewed this one in the past and if you’d like to read my full review you can do so here on the third page at this link, http://www.chickadvisor.com/item/gillette-venus-embrace-razor/?page=3#reviews

I liked all of these different Venus Gillette razor handles and found the three blades razors did do a nice job, but the five blade razors did the best job on my legs and under arms.

My handle pick has to be the one I found to have the softest handle, witch is the Venus & Olay handle and my blade pick is the Venus Embrace. I love how wide the blades are and how it has five blades to cover more area.

First, foremost I was so kindly given many razors to try from ChickAdvisor and Gillette that I absolutely loved.

Dislikes:
- The original, divine razor didn't really offer anything special and were pretty much just regular razors that were no different than others I have bought in the past. And the case came with double sided tape to stick on your wall that weren't very effective. So I really wouldn't bother buying those in the future compared to cheaper products.

Likes:
- I really preferred the suction cup holders used for the specialty razors that had soap bars around the blades for use in the shower. Especially the Embrace pod one that could hold two extra blades.
- They all had pretty comfy handles to use so for me so I just went with what ever colour I preferred.
- All of the moisture bar razors really really fantastic at moisturizing, softening the skin but i found the Olay brand ones were especially great for dry skin. So I would recommend those type first if you have that type of skin.
- All the scents were really subtle and nice to use in the shower. But I specifically really loved the Olay sugar berry series as it smelled very feminine, fruity that I enjoy most.
- Also the Olay series seemed to have 5 blades compared to the usual 3 that gave a really nice, close shave.

So to summarize I really generally preferred the Olay series for close shave, scent and moisturizing but would love them to use the shower pod, holder of the Embrace kind to organize, hold extra blades.

I received this razor as part of the Chick Advisor Review Club.

This is probably my favourite of all the razors I tried, next to the original. i like that it doesn't have the "soap" attached to it and is simple and easy to use and keep. The shave is nice and close, but I don't neccessarily think its much closer than the original blades.

I really liked the easy to open packaging and would definitely think about purchasing the replacement blades for this one!!

I recieved a sample of this razor from Chick Advisor as part of the Review Club.

These are my old standby when it comes to razors. The three blade is the cheapest of the venus options, and they are tried and true for a smooth shave and silky legs.

I highly recommend getting on board with this truly awesome original!

These razors are interchangeability which is great because I love trying new heads but I hate buying a whole new razor and having all these handles pile up. I am really fond of two razors in particular: the Sugarberry and the Venus Olay. They both give very close shaves and they both have two thick moisturizing strips that soothe skin. Sugarberry is pink and scented too which is amazing! My one complaint is that the moisturizing strips don't last as long as I would like and I found that the blades did get dull sooner than other razors I have but for the quality of the shave I get, it is worth it.

Awesome razor! My favorite razor.. love using it.

I love these blades, just wish they didn't cost so much. But they do last a long time and they do keep my legs smooth. Would definitely recommend them.

I love this product. I used to use cheap disposable razors but found they really irritated my skin. I noticed that these razors (the green ones) were on sale so I decided to try them...and I love them! I don't need to use shaving cream and they get a really close shave which is great. I love how smoothly they glide on my legs and they last a long time (mine last about three weeks to a month when I store them out of the shower). These razors can be a little pricey but they are definitely worth the price.
