I began using the Gillette Venus when I had left my razor at home and so I borrowed my friends. After the first time I was hooked and will only use this one. It unique shape is easy to hold and I like that you can keep the razor and only by the refills. It does not leave my skin dry and the shave is very close. My husband loves the way my legs feel after I shave with the Venus razor. I will only buy that kind of razor.
