The first razor I've enjoyed in years
by nillacookie (18 reviews)
First off, it’s got 5 blades! It seemed really scary at first, but when I used it, it worked like it had 5 blades, but didn’t feel like it at all.

First off, it’s got 5 blades! It seemed really scary at first, but when I used it, it worked like it had 5 blades, but didn’t feel like it at all. It glided over my legs smoothly and I’d even consider using it without shaving cream, IF it wasn’t available.
I also liked the fact that the top portion was flexible. It conformed to the curves of my legs and made it really easy to do a quick shave. Normally, if I shave too quickly, I knick myself at least twice - on each leg. Venus Embrace left me scar-free this time - yes! March 24, 2008, 11:26 pm

causes too much razor burn
by CoachCrazy116 (8 reviews)I am a huge fan of the venus breeze, however the refills are pricey, so I decided to buy this razor. After a few uses I had to switch back to the breeze because I got such bad razor burn..also I hate having to deal with messy shave cream May 6, 2008, 5:11 pm2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

not happy with this Venus razor
by guanina (1 review)I'm usually a Venus razor user, but I'm really not satisfied with this one. The moisturizing strip only works for like a week and then afterwards, I get really bad razor burn, even when using shaving cream. After I finish using the blade refills, I'm switching back to earlier versions of the Venus razor. August 8, 2008, 2:09 pm1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The best!
by ajcipperly (10 reviews)This is the best Venus razor in my opinion. I get the smoothest shave, and I don't have to shave every day if I don't want to! Awesome! Yes, the refills are expensive, but so are all Venus razor refills. I will keep using this unless Venus tops themselves again!! August 1, 2008, 6:32 am1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Love It
by kirak396 (9 reviews)I love this razor, the down side is it is very costly. The company does supply decent coupons but because of the price I stretch the life out on these, my legs are really really smooth and very seldom do I nick or cut myself and I havent gotten any razor burn which is a huge thing since I have that problem with other razors July 28, 2008, 10:02 am1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

AWESOME
by ladyslipper (84 reviews)
I always love the latest venus razor better than I did the last, and I especially love this one. Absolutely no nicks or razor burn, which I had started to get with just the regular venus blades. A great close shave...I love it! May 3, 2008, 8:59 pm1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Switched back to my old razor
by kmrel4 (12 reviews)I was not impressed with this razor at all. I figured since it had five blades I would get a really close, smooth shave, but all this razor did was tear up my legs and cause razor burn. So, after I used all of the refills, I went back to my tried and true Schick Quattro. August 20, 2008, 3:34 pm0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Smooth Shave worth the price
by meganberke (2 reviews)Sure, the Venus Embrace is not cheap, but all razors are expensive. I enjoy that the container itself has suction cups so it will not leave a sticky residue on your shower tile, plus it enables you to travel with the razor and always have it handy. I have always gotten razor burn but the first time I used this razor I did... August 20, 2008, 8:04 am
