I bought this razor a while back and I have to say it is a good razor. I think the five razor blades give me a great close shave and makes my legs very smooth. The only problem I found with this razor is that the moisture strips tend to get used fairly fast and I only get a few shaves with it. I think I would rather invest and keep on buying the venus embrace because it lasts longer and gives me just a good shave as this one. I suggest this razor if your planning on going on vacation and you do not want to bring shaving cream because it saves room and you get 2in1. I still suggest this razor to anyone because it works well and does what it claims to do.
I received a sample of this razor as part of Chick Advisor's review club.
I really enjoyed the Venus & Olay combo of this rasor. The shaving was so easy and fast as you don't need to use any shaving cream with it. It left my legs feeling so nice and soft and the smell was really nice! It reminded me of the butterscotch candies my great grand-mother use to have. It also has a great slip grip as usual!
I tested this razor and compared to other Venus razor as part of the product review club. First off, I have to admit - I do love this razor. The combination of 5-blade system and Olay moisture bars gave me a really close shave and left my skin feeling soft and smooth. The Olay moisture bar smelled really nice.
However, upon closer look at the package, I noticed this Olay version only came with 1 cartridge, unlike other razors with moisture/gel bars. In my opinion, I don't find this Olay one works any better than other non-Olay ones. I don't think it's worth the money.
Bottom line is, if you like this Olay moisture bar, try another razor with gel/moisture bars. It works just as well and it comes with 1 more cartridge.
Now, I think I have used every razor on the market - men's and women's. I hate using shave cream, and always moisturize because I have dry skin. This razor doesn't need either. One swipe does it all. I have only used it once, but it seems a little fragile. I wouldn't leave it n the shower ( to "melt" like the intuition), and wouldn't be to rough while shaving. The pieces on each side don't seem to be attached to the blade very well, but hands down the best manual razor ever!
This is my new go-to razor. I've always used Venus razors, but this one works so much better. You don't need any shaving cream, because there are moisture bars above and below the razor. This helps it glide across your legs, and it leaves your legs feeling extra smooth. And the smell- amazing! My one gripe is that after each use, the moisture bars get smaller and smaller, so you can only use it effectively about five or six times. But that's actually when you should start replacing your razor blade, so it's not too bad.
I've tried other razors, similar in style to this one so I wasn't that excited to give this one a try but I have to say, it is becoming a favourite of mine!
I really like the handle and the moving head. They are really light and easy to hold and the head glides with the curves of your leg.
The moisture strips have lasted me a while now which is impressive and they haven't gotten that goopy mess on them like they normally do. I was also impressed with how close a shave I got.
I received this product to review but I would consider repurchasing it. I also liked that it came with a small little hook and suction cup for your shower.
