Gillette Venus Smooth Womens Razor Blade Refills, 8 Count, Lubracated to Protect the Skin from Irritation, Basic, 8 Count (Pack of 1)

Great razor, but geezz are they expensive. I shave my whole body from the side burns down, on a daily basis. I can usually get about 2-3 good shaves out of one razor head. 5 if I push it, but the stubble grows in quick. The hydrating strip lasts to the third shaving, and I typically find that razor does better without shaving cream. Typically the only time the razor works well with Cream is on the very first round, even then I find missed spots, almost like the razor bridged over the hairs. I wager that if someone was to only shave there legs, you could probably get about 10 good close shaves out of one razor head. Im actually trying the Tria Beauty in hopes that I never have to buy razors again. In the event that the Tria doesnt work, I will continue to get these. Heres hoping the Tria works.

The number one reason I bought these was PRICE. Considering you need approval from a lender to purchase razor blades these days, I thought this was a bargain, and I could not find a better deal at a store near me. Other reasons I like these blades are that the heads are small enough to use comfortably, and they are simply triple blades, nothing more. I can use my own shaving lubricant with them, and they work for me. I own the Venus Vibrance razor. Those blades were the same size as the original Venus, but they had a small lubricating strip on them. I liked the way those worked. I bought the razor years ago, and there is only one place recently (on Amazon, in fact) I have found the same replacement blades, but they are too expensive, and the there are shipping charges. Luckily, all the Venus blades are interchangeable on all the razors. That is what I like most about the Venus products. But most of the blades they are selling now have heads and lubricating strips that are so large it is ridiculous. I cannot imagine who participates in the Gillette focus groups that approves/asks for these new designs. I wish someone would pick me to participate in a focus group! Does anyone actually get a good shave with these new blades? I tried the Venus Spa, and that was a joke. After the first couple of shaves, the large moisture strips just start to break down and fall off. And the strips leave so much goo on your skin that the blades do not even have good contact with the skin. I have very light, fine hair on my legs, and I was not able to get a close shave with the Venus Spa blades. The heads were too large for me to use safely on the bikini area. Most of the other Venus blades are similar to those. The downside to these blades is that there are only 3 blades. It is not a problem for me, but I know a lot of people like the new 4 and 5 blade designs. I imagine if you have hair that is dense and coarse, the extra blades might give a closer shave. Maybe I would like more blades too, if someone could figure out how to put 5 blades on a smaller head. Until then, I will continue to use the smaller head, original Venus blades.

Best razors ever!!

Hey sissies and pals, they are pretty average. I was just to lazy to go to the store and buy some from the local Food Lion. They have a bunch in them, although I go through a pack of 8 in 2 weeks bc I am a sloth. But they are great. For real- I would recommend. K bye, dont cut your self, please be careful. <3

Very smooth

The Gillette Venus 3 blade razors are amazing. The cartridges come individual wrapped for easy storage and transporting, and I would highly recommend this to any women wanting smooth, silky legs. I did receive some free samples from Gillette to try and to my surprise they worked better then I actually thought they would. I am a female with very course leg hairs, although I dont have a lot of hair on my legs the ones I do have tend to be course. I have always had to use mens razors in order to get a smooth finish and for them to last more then one or two shaves. Well the Venus is my new go to razor, I love the smooth, slickness I get from using them, and I have only had to use the one cartridge for almost a month now and the indicator strip on the top and bottom is starting to wearing. These strips lets me know its about time to replace the cartridge These things are great.

3 blades is the sweet spot. 5 may be a closer shave, but 3 blades are easier to clean.

These got dull really easily might as well have been disposable. One use

I thought it was an original, but it is a copy. Копия copy. So sad....

Like for sensitive skin-don’t like number of blade levels- would like 4
