When Gillette announced their new 5 blade razor was still on the same platform as their old 3 blade venus, I was pretty excited. No need to buy the new razor, just different blade cartridges. The razor was fantastic. Provided a clean, close shave, just what I was looking for. But after getting the ribbon of moisture wet and leaving it on the ledge of the bathtub, as I've lost my oh-so-convenient shower pod, it became like an adhesive, sticking to the surface. When I went to pull it off the surface, nearly half of the "moisture" was left on the surface of my bathtub instead of the razor. I guess this isn't entirely their fault, as they do provide the shower pod when you buy the razor and not just the blade cartridges. However, when traveling, which I do somewhat frequently, I find it sticking to other items in my beauty case. I'm not exactly a fan of a sticky bottle of shampoo or body wash.
