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

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.

I’ve been using these razor blades since they first became available on the market and I’ve never been persuaded to switch because these just work. Long after the moisturizing strip has dissolved (I mean months after), they stay sharp enough for daily use in the shower. Since I appreciate simple, practical design in products, I am glad that these razor blades continue to be available. They’ll give you a close shave on your legs, underarms, and bikini area every day and without leaving a rash or nicking you. Plus they’re not as outrageously expensive as some razor blades that make claims but don’t do the job. I recommend them for people who need razor blades that work well and stand up to daily use.

Good, solid blades.

Love these and I love the replacements and replacement safety cap it comes with I like using this over the disposable full razors

Very smooth

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

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

This is a great razor. It makes a nice, close shave. I rate it 4 stars just because its not as wonderful as some of the other venus razors, but thats why its a bit cheaper. I knew that before I bought it. There is not much of a difference in the closeness of the shave but more so in shaving; the venus embrace has these moisture strips so after the first time (it takes time for the water to soak in) you dont even have to use shaving cream for the next several times till the moisture strips wears out. However, I am not sensitive when it comes to shaving and have no problem using shaving cream (hair conditioner) and the shave is almost as close as any other venus. If money were no problem, i would choose venus embrace though. Ive also tried the divine and that is nice too.

This is such a good deal compared to the grocery store price

These razors make me smooth like butter, very easy to use!
