    This is a really good quality razor. I have been using this line of razors for years now and it's the best that I have used so far. It glides on smoothly and it shaves the hair really well. It doesn't cut my skin or irritate it so I'm a satisfied customer.

    Works very well on my legs and does not cause me irritation or cuts. The only complaint i really have about it is how expensive the refill blades are but other then that i totally love it!

    Venus Embrace has been my go-to razor for several years!

    I love the shape of the head, which lies nicely on your skin and doesn't feel like it's cutting in, nor do the blades feel like they're dragging. Actually, the shape of the entire razor is comfortable and easy to use, and I find the 5 blades to be very effective. The glide strips last quite well, and I usually get several good leg shaves out of the blades. After that, I get several more shaves out of it using it only on my underarms.

    When you first buy Venus Embrace it's about $17.00 CAD for the razor and 2 cartridges, then a little over $20.00 CAD for 4 refill cartridges. Seems expensive, but wow, are razors expensive these days! When you compare it to buying the bargain versions and what you get with them, it all evens out for me. Also, I try to buy them ahead of time when they're on sale, or even hunt around for a coupon. Saving a buck or two is always a good thing, right?

    I definitely recommend giving this razor a try!

    This is by far, my favorite razor.

    It is so simple but not to the point of shady quality. It doesn't have any other features but to shave and I love it. It glides nicely and stays sharp for a long time. It is thin and the perfect length to grip, even while reaching hard to reach places such as the back of the calf and thigh.

    The holder for it sticks perfectly in my shower and holds it beautifully.

    This razor also works very well on armpits and doesn't snag or get caught in creases.

    Love it!

    I find that when I use a Venus Razor, I have to shave my legs more often for some reason. Plus, the refill blades are too expensive.

    I received the Venus Embrace razor free from the P&G;brand sample earlier this year and love it. I was very happily surprised at how well it worked and how long this five blade razor lasts. It leaves my legs soft and smooth and I’ve found that after using it I don’t have to shave everyday.
    How ever I would only buy it on my own if I could get it for under $4. It’s a great razor, but not all of us can afford the $13, or more that they want for it. So if you can get one as a free sample, can find a really good coupon for it, or can afford to spend that much money for a razor, buy this one, you won’t be disappointed.

    I think it's a good razor and you can use it a long time before you have to change the blade.

    The only thing is that the blades are quite expensive. It's a good thing that it lasts a long time!

    when i first got this razor i thought that it would be just like any other razor out there. i was wrong! not only is it great to use, it feels nice to shave with. after using it my legs felt a lot softer and smoother and after using it quite a few times i have noticed a difference in the way my legs look and feel. i used to dread shaving my legs, i would always cut myself and my skin would become extremely irritated but with the venus embrace i have yet to cut myself and my legs no longer feel irritated when im done. even my husband noticed a difference in the way my legs feel. even though shaving does take a bit longer then any wax or cream i would seriously recommend using this razor before slapping chemical creams on. i loved mine so much, i got one for my mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law

    I actually received this razor as a sample from gillette. Bonus from the start! I hate shaving my legs! I have never been able to find a razor that has made my legs smooth and kept them smooth for at least a couple of days. After receiving this I tried it out immediately. I actually didn't have any shaving cream at this time so I opted to use plain old hair conditioner - not the ideal thing to use to shave but you do what you can. To my complete surprise even without shaving cream my legs were so silky smooth after my shave. My boyfriend could not stop touching my legs, he actually cuddled with them for a while lol. Since my hair grows at a pretty fast rate I though that after 2 days my legs wouldn't be so smooth. Day 5 and my legs were still as silky smooth as the day I shaved! I was amazed. Finally this makes shaving so much more tolerable!

    If these razors weren't so expensive I would be using them ALL THE TIME! They really are a cut above everything else (heheh!). I usually use my husband's Mach razors and they were always my favorite, but Venus is too wonderful to pass up! Very moisturizing and smooth shave. Great product!
