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.

I didn't really notice a difference from any other that Venus offers. It left my skin feeling the same as usual. The price for the refills are RIDICULOUS!

I received this product free to review as part of the Chick Advisor Review Club
For many years, I have steered clear of women's razors because I find that there are too many gimmicks involved with the product that detract from it's actual ability to shave. I prefer men's razors overall because they tend to be much sharper than women's, and they last longer
That being said, when I saw that Chick Advisor was offering a product review club for venus razors, I decided to sign up to be able to try some out
The particular venus razor that is in affiliation with Olay is supposed to offer more moisture while shaving, while the five blades are supposed to offer a close shave. When I first used this razor, right off the bat I didn't like the Olay moisture bar at all. I found that they got goopy when they got wet, and they got in the way of the actual razor blades when I was trying to shave, so overall, I didn't end up with a clean shave. Second of all, the razor comes with an attachment that is supposed to suction to your shower wall - well, mine keeps falling off, so that wasn't a very good addition.
The idea of having a razor that doubles as shaving cream is a good idea, but I just don't think this particular product is well executed. I would rather use a men's razor shaving cream and get a nice clean shave the first time, then have to go over the area multiple times, and still not be satisfied when all is said and done.

I received this razor in the Product Review Club. Out of all the razors I received, this was my least favourite. Yes, the smell was very nice (but I can get that out of any shaving lotion). I found that the little soap bar doesn't last that long, so then I'm just ended with a regular razor. Like some of the other reviewers, I didn't find that I got a very close shave. It could be because of the blades or the soap bar, I'm not sure. But I didn't have to go over part a couple times to get close to the skin, which increased my shaving time. I would not recommend this razor, nor would I purchase it in the future. Venus has many other better razors out there.

I received this razor from Chick Advisor to test and review.

I am not crazy about this at all. I could not get a close shave and felt stubble even right after I was finished shaving. The lotion bars smell awesome, but didn't seem to help the razor glide over my skin, and they shriveled up before the razor was no good anymore. Just seems like it would be a waste of money to buy the (Very expensive) refill cartridges.

I love this razor! Everything about this razor, from the 5 blades to the scent and moisture bars of this razor are amazing. I would like to first start off by saying that hands down this razor is the best out of the others I have tested out. The handle of this razor is very comfortable, which makes the process of shaving much easier (thank god for that because shaving can sometimes feel like a pain in the ass). I love the sugerberry scent , out of all the scented moisture bars this one has to be the best scent.

Sometimes my legs start to itch a lot after I shave, no matter how much lotion I put on right after I get out of the shower. With this razor, however I did not feel itchy, which is a big plus for me. The only con for this razor is that the moisture bar seems really flimsy and I feel like if I just left it in my shower for a long time, It would disintegrate.

I received a sample of this razor as part of Chick Advisor's review club.

I used this just last night and I did enjoy the silky feeling my legs had after using this product with attached shave soap. though I did notice it got a little slimey near the end, and it melted pretty quickly. I'm not sure how long it would actually last. Also I'm not a huge fan of the attached soap bars in general, so this wasn't my favourite product. But my legs are still soft today and I think it has to do with the lovely Olay moisturizers...

I'm so/so on this. I still love the tried and true Original Venus razor blades....

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.
