Gillette Venus Spa Breeze Womens Razor, 1 Razor 2 Razor Refill Cartridges

 (80 customer reviews)

Let me preface this review by saying that I hate shaving. I shave a lot of stuff- legs, arms, armpits, bikini area, and my big toe. I can get away with shaving some areas once a week, but my legs need to be shaved at least every other day during the summer or there is visable black stubble. I have very sensitive skin that often gets razor burn and ingrown hairs. So I got this thinking, perfect! Three blades= close shave; built in shave gel= more convenient and faster.

Well, there are several issues with this razor. During the first use, I noticed two things: One, there is a lot of slobbery goop coming off the razor... and two, the shave gel bars that sit above and below the blades make it very difficult to get a close shave. They do flex a little, but especially when they are new, they are cumbersome and they block the blades from getting close enough to the skin, especially in contoured areas like the knee and the bikini area. It does moisturize well, though, and at least...Read more

I've been happy with various Venus shaving cartridges since they were first introduced. I've kept the original handle, but always tried out the new cartridges when they were released. Now, this one has a solid soap on top and bottom of the razor blades, to take the place of your shaving cream. I thought this would be good.

I haven't cut my legs while shaving for probably 10 years...until today, when I used this razor. Because the head is very wide (to contain the soap strips), it is difficult to see if you're actually cutting the hairs short enough, or maybe you're just cutting them "shorter" but not shaving them down to the skin. I found myself pressing very hard to make sure the razor blades would reach the skin, and unfortunately, four times they not only reached the skin but went below it.

I won't be using the Spa Breeze again. But maybe this is just me.

I really like the GILLETTE VENUS BREEZE RAZOR. I have used a VENUS BREEZE for a number of years now, and this convenient, one step razor always gives me soft, smooth legs, with no nicks or cuts. The VENUS BREEZE RAZOR line is pretty, feminine, and clearly "made for a woman, not a man." This version, the GILLETTE VENUS BREEZE, SPA BREEZE RAZOR comes in a nice white tea scent that is a very pleasing change of pace.

Like the standard (purple) VENUS BREEZE, the GILLETTE VENUS BREEZE, SPA BREEZE RAZOR (pale pink) comes with a holder which mounts directly to the wall of your shower or bath. Inside the holder is space for two spare razor cartridges, each sealed in their own individual packaging. Each cartridge has three blades, which give your legs a sexy, ultra close shave. The three blades are surrounded by gel bars. There is no need to use shaving cream; just moisten the gel bars to get that silky, satiny feel. The gel also is a light moisturizer, but you will still...Read more
