A nice idea but not a day-to-day razor, 5 Sept. 2013

This more expensive version of the basic Venus razor claims to remove the need for shower gel by moisturizing your skin with inbuilt gel bars as you shave, while also releasing a 'spa breeze' scent of 'white tea'. I use Venus and Venus Divine razors regularly but have never wanted to splash out on a more expensive version before, so I was interested to see if this razor could live up to its claims. Unfortunately, as an all-round razor, it doesn't.

The pros of this razor are:

- Attractive design; the pale pink handle is genuinely nicer than the usual blue.

- Comes with a shower holder which you can attach to your shower tiles. I found that, once attached, this holder was secure and did not fall off. Interestingly, mine also came with a fridge magnet, which I didn't expect but which was a nice bonus!

- Effectively shaves legs smooth and makes shaving legs a nicer experience than using a normal Venus razor. There is no need to use shower gel.

Smooth legs...no hassles, 25 Jun. 2013

I must confess to being a tad sceptical that you can shave without the lubricating effects if shaving foam. No foam..nicks and pain.But with this rather natty razor you can do just that. The razor has a special lubricating strip that helps the razor glide over your legs. I tried it...it works.As I have uber sensitive skin I was concerned that I would have an allergic reaction to the razor. Not so. Plus it smells lovely.Gillette even included a suction cup attachment to hang your razor up in the bathroom. No more scrabbling around looking for it. The handle is chunky and feels good in the hand.Any quibbles,? Well...as is usual for the higher end of the razor family the replacement blades can get pricey. That may put potential users off.All in all a quality razor that feels good and does the trick.

Gillette Venus Embrace Razor & Gillette Venus Spa Breeze Razor, 22 Aug. 2013

My review is for both the Gillette Venus Embrace Razor & Gillette Venus Spa Breeze Razor's.

I cannot begin to decide how best to express how totally impressed I am with both of these razors and how disappointed I am that at my age (which I won't disclose other than to admit I am over the age of 21!) I haven't discovered either of them until now. I have been a long time user of disposable razors having decided long ago that these type (Gillette Venus) were just too expensive and immediately dismissing them but oh how wrong I have been and although these are priced at more than I used to pay for the disposable's these are worth every penny over that in my opinion and I shall never be turning back to disposable razors ever again. I plan to dutifully inform any and all of my friends and family too just in case they were under the same mis-belief that I was. I am thoroughly converted to Gillette Venus! Now anyone reading this review may think that either I am a bit of a loon or an...
