    The handle is easy to hold and the shave was nice and close. It also glided nice up and around the knee area. The size of the head of the razor is large and covers a lot of area but I had to rinse the shave cream off after every glide because it holds a lot of the cream. The blades last a long time even on coarser leg hair.

    This is probably my absolutely most favourite razors of all time because of how nice of a shave I get with this. The razor also lasts a long time and of course the smoothness I get! The only downside is the price of the cartridges because they are pretty expensive. Overall, this razor works wonders and doesn't cut me. FAV!

    I enjoy using this product. The handle feels great to hold and it gives me a nice smooth shave. It shaves close enough to the skin to make it smooth, but at the same time it does not dry or harm the skin. The only negative thing I have to say is the area around the razor could be smaller, considering you have to use shaving cream and it doesn't have the cream strips.

    These razors are easy to handle, and shave the hair easily.

    I received this razor as part of the Chick Advisor Review Club.
    I've always been a big fan of Gillette's Venus product and this one is no exception. As always, this is a great product. It has a great slip grip handle and the razor glides really well on your legs and armpits. The ribbon of moisture makes it last longer without having to use much, is any, shaving cream for the 1st few usage.
    I love that it comes with a holder and 2 extra blades.

    Venus razors are the best! They are a little expensive but provide the best shave! I feel like when I use these razors that I don't have to worry as much about Knicks or razor burn. They are a high quality product!

    I've received these from ChickAdvisor Review Club (thank you Chickadvisor) to test out & here is what I think:
    So I first started off using the Venus Breeze razor and I did enjoy how it had that nice feature of being a gel bar. It was an easy glide and it did leave my skin feeling extra soft because I think it was the gel. But when I used either Venus Spa Breeze with White Tea or ProSkin I had a little accident where the blade cut me. I was quite surprised that that happened because razors never cut me.
    The handle I liked the most out of all these razors was the Venus & Olay one. I found it had a really good grip to it and the scent, especially the sugar berry one was amazing! I liked how it did have 5 blades. But I don't like how it only had one extra cartridge in it. I think razors like this are great especially for the winter when your skin is so dry or if you're like me and don't have time to moisturize because you are in such a rush in the mornings. I did prefer those that had a moisturize bar or gel bar vs. ones that did not because it helped me get less in grown hair and it just felt much more luxurious. But it looks like the Venus Spa Breeze gel bar is going to come off because of the way its warring down.
    I loved the razors that came with a shower hook. I've never owned a razor that came with this and I thought it was such a smart idea and it lets the ones with the moisturizer bar to dry quicker.
    The Venus Original 3-blade my least favorite because it did not leave my skin as soft and it felt like one stroke was not enough. That is why I sometimes preferred the razors that had 5 blades compared to the standard 3. But with that being said, it does get the job done. The Venus Embrace had a good grip, but not my favorite, it would be if you liked simple razors, the same thing goes with Gillette Venus one.
    But my favorite thing about these razors is they are reusable and come with refills. The Venus & Olay razor is now becoming my new favorite razor. Price could be better but worth the splurge because the quality is great, better than schick quattro one I use.
