(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I use to shave with a diposable razor. It left my skin was dry and flaky. With this razor, my skin is still silky soft. this is great. the grip was nice to hold on and the multiple blades made a wonderful job. I think it is time to say goodbye to my disposable razors and dispose of them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used many different products and brands in the past. But the Venus Swirl razor was AH-MAY-ZING. Seriously. I have a bad habit of leaving my razor in the shower and it dries up within a week or so. And usually, a razor is only good for me for about 3 uses. The Venus swirl razor has been in the shower for almost 4 weeks and I have used it 4 times already. Still going strong. It isn't anywhere near dried out and still feels new. LOVE IT! I will be buying more, soon.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I was very happy to be invited to the Gillette Venus Swirl campaign. I received the product for free from Gillette, which made me very excited to try as Gillette makes one of the best razors in my opinion. Below I have listed a few pros and cons. Pros: -LOVE the new handle, it fits perfectly in my hand with a nice grip. -It looks luxurious, nice design for good grip. -Flexiball helps to get under those hard to reach places. -5 Blades with moisture strips makes a difference. Cons not many but worth mentioning: -My flexiball was squeaky which is sometimes irritating -A little on the pricey side. -the flexiball is just another "add on" my other Venus razors perform just as well but the looks are a new addition. Overall I love Gillette Venus razors but they tend to be on the pricey side but the feeling while you shave and after is much better then the inexpensive brands.I also believe that if you purchase a "regular" Venus razors it will not make a huge difference. Enjoy those smooth legs and shave away!!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I would give this 2.5 stars if I could, so I'm rounding up to 3. For me, this product didn't really impress. First of all, the product did have some merits. I liked the packaging and the purple colour of the razor. The moisturizing strips are a nice touch, but I found that it was almost redundant with the accompanying violet Swirl with Olay shaving cream. I felt like my skin was already getting a great moisture hit from that, so the benefits from the strips on the razor were negligible for me. Things I didn't like: The head doesn't pivot nearly as much as you would think. The "ball" thing didn't really do much for me at all. I didn't find that the razor really moved that well over my skin, and I doubt how much this thing actually pivots which shaving. It seemed a bit gimmicky to me actually. Though the in box appearance is aesthetically pleasing, the plastic construction feels cheap and disposable in hand. I know it's a semi-disposable type of product, but I would have preferred a weightier handle (like the old generation Mach3 razor I currently use). I typically avoid women's razors altogether because I feel like the products just miss their mark in terms of performance. I find I get a better shave from my Mach3 than from this 5 blade system and for me, that's kind of a head scratcher. I think it comes down to the size of the razor head. I cannot emphasize enough how much I dislike large razor heads. Put all the blades you want on there, but if I can't really see what I'm doing then I'm not getting the greatest shave. I found I would miss spots with the Venus Swirl and need to go back over again, often times nicking my skin in the process. Speaking to that, I appreciate the moisturizing strips around the blades, but I think the trade off is losing control for a tighter shave and for me, that isn't a great trade. I usually moisturize after my shower anyways, so the strips do not add much benefit for me. During use, I found myself needing to push on the head of the razor with my finger to guide it around my skin. It felt too clunky to use otherwise and I did end up nicking myself a few times on areas where I would not have nicked using my other razor (the men's Mach3 razor). Overall, I would not buy this product or recommend it. As I have said previously, I have never had much success with razors marketed towards women. I have tried several in the past, but always keep coming back to Mach3. I prefer a razor with a weightier handle and smaller razor head. I also would have liked to see some sort of in-shower storage system for the razor. I think I used one in the past with a CommandStrip type tape on the back of a plastic clip you could clip the razor into when not in use.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I am so impressed by how flexible the razor head is, and how it smoothes over my curves while shaving and getting so close. I was so excited above how close I was able to shave around my knee (which I normally have difficulty with) that I had a bunch of my friends feel the smoothness :) They thought it was a little weird at first but were intrigued. We joked that it's kind of like the Dyson of razors.

i used this razor for the first time today. I have never had such a great experience. I did not nick myself or end up with razor burn. By the time I finished, I felt so smooth all over. The head is the perfect size to get areas where I have had problems with other razors. The price concerned me at first but after using the razor, the price is well worth every penny.

I got this razor as a duo with the Venus shave cream thru bzzagent for my daughter to test it out. As it turns out it is her favourite razor yet. The shave is so smooth and glides over ankles and knees well with no Knicks or cuts. It pivoted perfectly for them giving my girls the best shave. My older daughter loved it so much, I ended up getting my younger one the same razor and they are in heaven. For an easy to use razor with an effortless shave this beats any disposable razor out there. They have tried the shick intuition and disposables of various types and this is by far the razor for them.

Really like this razor. Noticed some negative reviews regarding nicking and cuts. If you're used to using a man's razor it would be easy to get careless. This does take an easy hand and a little practice to get used to, but the results are well worth the effort.

With other razors I have to shave everyday to get that smooth silky feeling but not with this!! My days of shaving everyday, razor bumps and ingrown hairs are long gone with this beautiful technology. I never had a closer, smoother shave in all of my life. Oooh and did I mention when it grows back!!! It doesn't itch or bother at all!!!!
