Ok to be perfectly honest I've never liked Venus razors and for some reason I really want to. Every few years I try the latest iteration out to confirm I just wasted my money on pretty packaging and an unpleasant experience. So when there was a Venus Embrace razor and Venus & Olay razor refill in my VoxBox I instantly rolled my eyes but also wanted to try it. Ha!
The current marketing strategy seems to be that all the different blades work with all the different razor handles. This really doesn't impress me. In fact I would think it was ridiculous if that was not true.
Venus razors rarely ever nick and cut, which is a great asset. However my problem has always been that I don't feel like it is a close enough shave. With 5 blades how is that possible? I don't know. I just have found better results with a razor that I unfortunately can never remember the name of unless I see it and can rarely find refill blades for. *Ah because the Bic Soleil (of which I was speaking) apparently no longer sells razor refills, just disposable versions of the original which are really not as good. Grrr
So I tried my new venus razor out, the Embrace blade on one leg and the Venus & Olay blade on the other. In the shower I really liked the Venus & Olay blade. Am I convert? I don't know yet but it felt really nice and it felt like a closer shave, but I can't compute how that is possible... look at the blade, it's surrounded by pillows of Olay?
Afterwards I let my legs dry and did not put lotion on them. I wanted there to be a difference but there really isn't. I have to say they did not feel stubbly at all, but the hair is there on the verge of coming out. Maybe I'm too razor critical but in the end my favorite hairy leg solution is waxing. I will probably continue to use these razors and may even buy in the future but I wasn't wowed and I'm not running out to praise them to my girlfriends. :)
