Gillette Venus Breeze 2 in 1 Razor for Women —
I first bought this product at Costco when they had a coupon for it. I love using coupons - I'll try new things with a coupon! Anyway, I like it at first. Got in the shower, got my legs wet, and shaved. Worked pretty well. I must tell you though I am very blonde and have very thin hair so shaving has always been easy for me. The attached razor gel works to soften hairs and leaves legs soft and silky. It worked great and was quick. It was a real time saver compared to the traditional lather the legs then shave. The first experience was okay. Do not leave this razor in the shower where it can get wet when not using it. The gel stuff does come off pretty quickly. The second time I went to use it it was messy and goopy. The gel starts running off and looks like corn syrup. Like I said, it gets goopy. If you don't use the razor for a while, the blades rust. It seems to rust a lot quicker than most other razors. I only shave once a week or less. Also, after just a couple uses the shave gel part is gone. The blades are very expensive. Too expensive to be buying all the time. I use this product when I don't have much time and also take them on trips (very convenient to pack one razor instead of razor and shave gel). Gilette isn't all that bad - my other razor is the regular Gillette Venus!
