(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) When the package first arrived and my daughter saw it, she was super excited to try it out just based on the looks alone. However I tried the new Venus Swirl razor first before I gave my daughter the second blade to try herself. I doubted that it would be any different than my regular Venus razor and initially I was right, but after using it a few times and getting the hang of it, the flexiball does make SOME difference, especially around my knees, my ankles and under my arms. I expected the flexiball to move around 360 degrees, but it only moves left and right. Using it at first I found shaving to be more difficult because once you've done it a certain way for a long time, using this razor takes some getting used to. But now, after 3 or 4 more shaves, using Venus Swirl with its flexiball does make getting a close shave faster. It moves effortlessly which at the beginning was a bit of downfall. All in all, I don't see THAT much of a difference between this razor and my old Venus one apart from the fact that shaving my knees, ankles and underarms now takes 2-3 strokes as apposed to 4-5. My daughter, however, started shaving just a few months ago and so I think it was easier for her to get used to the Venus Swirl. It worked out really well! I don't normally get nicks that often, but she still does. This time, however, there were no nicks for either of us! I'm not very impressed with the shave gel, however. It is moisturizing, but I found it too thick and heavy. I will stick with my usual Venus one. My daughter loved the purple color and we both enjoyed the smell of the Venus Olay Violet Swirl shave gel.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I admit that I was a little concerned with allowing my daughter to use a sharp new razor on her own so I offered to help her for the first time. Having an older daughter who has been shaving for a few years already, I was aware that sharp razors could have disastrous results. No one in our family had previously tried the Venus Swirl razor - my youngest daughter was the first to try it! Much to my delight and hers, it was a huge success. Not only was it easy to show her how to use it, she was able to finish shaving without casualty - no cuts or nicks! The razor was extremely easy to manage without using too much pressure and left her skin silky smooth even in those hard to navigate areas. I was impressed and tried it as well...it really does give a close shave! Our family will continue to use the Venus Swirl razor!!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) For ages I've been using cheap bi@ disposables. I just always assumed this triple.. quadruple.. and more blade systems were a gimmick. Than you sent me this to share... (guiltily I must admit -- I kept one blade for myself) Wowzers! I have been missing out!! My legs are gorgeous! Sexy.. Soft.. and Super Smooth. And hers.... I think I'm going to have keep purchasing our old brand for her... super model shine and sleekness! Too much for me to handle!!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) What more can I say, it really is the best razor I have ever used. In fact it is so great that I only got to use it once before my husband stole it and claimed it for himself. He said it cut the time it would normally take him to shave almost in half.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Venus Swirl Razor from Gillette to try out and I must say, I LOVE IT!!! I hate shaving so I normally use Veet or if I have to shave I'll use a disposable razor. But this, I didn't even feel like I was shaving. It literally glided across my skin as if I was putting on deodorant or lotion. It was effortless an quick. I honestly didn't think it was shaving anything because with disposable razors you can feel it moving on your skin an kind of pulling your hair, this wasn't like that. When I was done ALL of the hair was gone and my skin was silky smooth. I'd recommend this razor to everyone!!!!

There are lots of curves on a woman's body that aren't easy to shave, but thanks to the Flexiball this razor was able to get them! It was a pretty close shave, too, so I stayed smoother for longer. Please note that I received a sample from the manufacturer but this is no way affected my opinion.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I love everything from the handle to the blades! The handle fits perfectly in my hand. No slip and amazing grip! I love the swivel that the flex ball allows. I am usually scared around my knees and ankles but not this time! I used to have to go over places twice to get the shave I want. Gilette has pulled out all the tricks on this one. Leaving my skin soft and flawless! Love love love! Buy it and try it!!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I received the Venus swirl razor and violet swirl shave gel through bzzagent for free. This is a great razor for beginners my tween daughter is 12 and this was the razor I used to introduce shaving to her. She was excited but was also afraid of cutting herself accidentally. The razor twists with your curves and it is almost impossible to get cuts. The Venus touch of Olay violet swirl shaving cream made it a super smooth process and did not leave her legs dry at all. We already went out and purchased refills

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I tried the venus swirl razor I received for free from Gilette Venus this morning. While it did give a nice close shave I found that the flexball squeaked every time it moved which was kind of annoying. I made the razor seem low quality. I also found that the blades were so close together that they were difficult to rinse clean. The cartridge is also significantly larger than my other three blade gilette venus razor. This razor touts that is makes those "ard-to-reach places a little more accessible" but I find that the large cartridge height and width actually achieves the opposite effect. While this razor did give a nice close shave I found the flexball gimicky and the cartridge size too large.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I highly recommend the NEW Venus Swirl Razor!! The FLEXIBALL technology helps the razor move with the shape of your legs, and makes those hard to reach places more accessible. The 5 blades gets it all in just a few swipes. Thank you Venus for letting me try this awesome product!!!
