Many apologies for not updating yesterday, it's been a pretty busy week at my job and then holiday dinners/parties/caroling right after. So to make up for it I decided to do a three product review in the Venus Razor Series and I will keep it short for each product. Enough babbling, onto the review.
Venus Razor Series
Background Story:
I have heard and seen multiple commercials about Venus and they have created a sound and stable image about having the smoothest shave. Majority of my friends have used it before and I feel that I can trust my friend's judgement.
A little bit about me, I only need to shave my legs like about once a month so I'm super impressed that these razors don't go too dull, I do shave my armpits so I am picky about what I use there. Most importantly I hated cuts but I wanted a close shave when I did decide on shaving.
Venus Original
Description from Gillettevenus.com:
"The First 3-Blade Razor Designed for Women
The Venus Original razor features protective cushions surrounding 3 blades for a smooth, close shave in just one stroke.
3-blade cartridge gives an ultra close shave
Protective cushions for a nick-free shave
Interchangeable Razor Blade Refill Cartridges
Shaving Compact for in-shower refill storage
Soft grip handle for no-slip control."
VERDICT:
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5
My first set of Venus razors were the Original Razor which I had bought in a set when I was in desperate need of a razor while I was traveling in China. The set also came with a body wash because in China, there weren't apparently a lot of shaving creams.
It worked pretty well and MY GOD does it give a nice close shave. When I had bought this the set also came with a travel case so the razor has been a part of my travel back system for so long.
Would I repurchase?
Yes if there was a cheaper sale on it but most of the time nowadays I've been using the disposable.
Venus Embrace
Description from Gillettevenus.com:
"5 Blades for a Whole New Level of Smoothness
Get ready for the shave fit for a goddess. Our first women's razor created with 5 blades hugs every curve to get virtually every hair…and even shave bikini hair. The results are beautiful legs, an ultra-close shave and unsurpassed smoothness.
Characteristics:
5 razor blades for a dramatically smooth shave
Ribbon of moisture for a smooth glide
Interchangeable Razor Blade Refill Cartridges
ShowerPod® convenient in-shower storage
Soft Grip handle for no-slip control"
VERDICT:
Overall Rating: 4.7 out of 5
This was my favorite product from the Venus Razor line. It is a little bit more expensive compared to the Original however I was still able to get the nice close smooth shave that I love. What I like most about the Venus razors in general is the shape of the head to wear it will hug every curve of your body. I do not get razor cuts or burns with razor because of the ribbon of moisture. The shower pod was the main reason why I decided to try out this product over the original because I wanted one that could hang in the shower. However, after awhile the pod stopped sticking as smoothly and then ended up falling like practically every time I was in the shower.
Would I repurchase?
Yes I would but probably without the pod this time because I'm afraid it'll fall again like it did almost ALL THE TIME.
Simpy Venus
Description from Gillettevenus.com:
"Close Shave with Less Irritation
Simply Venus Disposable razors provide a close shave at an affordable price. This disposable women's razor features a 3-bladed pivoting head and a comfortable handle for an extra close shave and easy glide.
Easy Glide MoistureRich® Strip
3 blades for a close shave
Protective microfins help reduce nicks and cuts
Comfortable non-slip handle"
VERDICT:
Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5
I had bought the disposables because I stopped buying refills of the Embrace and the Original because they were pricier. It still does the work of the Original but at a cheaper price. I do not get a lot of cuts when I shave at all and I feel that these do last a pretty long time and most of all it does fit my budget.
Would I repurchase?
Yes I would buy this one more compared the other two because I feel like it satisfy my needs with ease and I can still be able to get the shave that I loved from Venus without paying the price of the other two.
FINAL VERDICT:
Brand overall rating: 5 out 5 [HOLY GRAIL]
This is my favorite brand of razors of all time. I mean come on, even the disposable version does a better job compared of other expensive brands.
Of the three razors I would choose the disposables for my current financial situation because it's just as cheap but I am still able to get what I need done.
If money was not a major variable I would choose the embrace because there is something about having 5 blades vs 3 blades that makes the difference when it comes to how close of a shave you get.
I hope you guys enjoyed my brief yet overall look at Venus Razors. If you have any questions let me know. I didn't mention what shaving cream I paired with the razors because they change around after each time I use up a bottle. When I do finish up my most recent one I WILL LET YA'LL KNOW!
Best,
Ren
