Gillette Venus Original Review Summary

Gillette Venus Original makes legs (and other body parts) happy! This clean shaving razor leaves behind no razor burn and the blades are long lasting. While refill blades can be expensive, most agree that it doesn't matter when you get smooth silky skin without nicks or cuts on your legs and more with this razor. Ashleyy says, "The moister strip also serves an an indicator to switch blades, as it fades and slowly disappears after so many uses." Mygtdesigns says, "It shaves clean, does not cause cuts, and the razors last for months at a time." Overall this razor lived up to our reviewers expectations and is a razor they will recommend and choose to buy again. Find out what other Shaving Products we recommend.

Well, I bought this razor quite a ways back, the original Gillette Venus razor with just threeblades, lol, just three blades. It seems as though so many manufacturers are deciding to try and make razors with four or more blades now, cramming them all in and making them moveable. Oh brother/sister, is...

I was looking for a new razor to try and in milwaukee, we dont have that many to choose from.  It seems like the venus razors are taking over the shelves.  Ive tried practically every razor they have out there.  I was a little hesitant to try this one out because of the price of refills.  I had a...

I am lucky, my dear Husband really does not care if my legs are smooth, stubbly or covered in hair. So I don't shave every day, though I probably need to. I have light brown skin and lighter brown hair, so I rationalize that 5 more min of sleep is far more valuable than having smooth legs, when the only other person to touch my legs does not care if they are smooth or not.

This razor makes my poor shaving habits bearable (and has increased the length of time I can get away with not shaving-yeah me!)

For about 3 full days after a shave my legs remain smooth. I rarely cut my self when shaving and...

I will admit that when a new product comes out, I normally won't buy it unless I have a coupon... which usually isn't hard to come by with new products.  So, I still remember that I used a coupon when I bought my first... I'm sorry... my only Gillette Venus razor.  I bought it about 3 years ago and still have the same one... different head on it though :).  But, what an awesome idea Gillette came out with!!!  Sure there were others before the Venus... cheap ones that would never had lasted for years.  The Venus is made sturdy to last and the design fits perfectly in your hand so that it never...

The Gillette original Venus razor for women is a great razor.  I hate razor burn and those little red bumps that I get after shaving.  Since I started using the Original Gillette Venus razor I haven't had those problems.  Those tiny red, itchy bumps are a distant memory to me, not something I have to worry about everytime I shave my legs or under my arms.  I would recommend this razor to my friends, family and even to people that I have never even met.  Young or old, this is a great razor for any age.  Even men would probably find this a good razor to use on their face.  It has a long...

The Gillette Venus Original razor is above average than most typical razors in a few key major ways. First of all it leaves my skin very smooth. The moistorizing strip is definately a major pro and a reason to get the Gillette Venus Original razor. Different from typical razors the smooth skin is a plus. I did not even need lotion after shaving. Also, the Gillette Venus Original razor leaves a very close shave. Legs were left with the closest shave. Better than that I did not need to shave as frequently as I usually had to do with other razors. With the extra blades that allowed such a close shave...

This razor will glide over your skin and leave you so silky and smoothe, you'll never want to live without it!  The blades last longer than any other that I've ever used!  That alone saves alot of money.  This is my first review, and I give this razor five stars!  I've been using my Venus for two years, and could not be more satisfied with it.  I'm sure I will continue to use it til I die, or either they just quit making them.  I recommend this razor to every women I know.  As a matter of fact, my sister in law gave me and the other women in the family and I'm still using mine now, for...

Love at first stroke! Thats how I would describel Gilletes Venus razor! I always hack myself up when using disposable razors, even some of the reusable name brand razors. I used to get razor burn also. Not with the Gillette Venus! Its erganomic handle makes is almost impossible for you to lose your grib, even when you're lathered up and slippery in the shower. The moisterizer built in on the blade makes it so you do not need shaving cream, although I use it sometimes anyway. The moister strip also serves an an indicator to switch blades, as it fades and slowly disappears after so many uses.  And...

I really like this gillette venus original razor. It does a really nice job and it gives you a nice a clean shave. I would recommend this razor to anyone looking for an excellant shave.

I am very fussy about which razor i buy. I dont really want to pay a high price for them but sometimes its worth the outcome. Although the blades for this razor are a bit pricey i beleive they are worth every penny.

the blades last alot longer than others. You can get two to three extra shaves out of each blade that you wouldnt get useing others.

I really like this razor. I'm busy and I don't have time to go over my legs several times. This razor is easy to hold, has a nice grip, and it really gives you a smooth close shave on the first time. Your legs will have a nice softness when your done. My husband likes to run his hands over my legs after I have used the Gillette Venus Original razor. Guarenteed every time! Since I am a dry skin sufferer and a women over forty, this is important to me.

I have used the Original Venus razor for quite a few years and I am extremely happy with it.  I tried the Venus Breeze and just hated the feel of it so I'm back to the Original.  It shaves clean, does not cause cuts, and the razors last for months at a time.
