Meh

This razor is exactly what you might expect if you're a regular user of the Gillette Venus products. It's better a closer and smoother shave than the original Venus razor, but not as great as the Venus Embrace.

great grip

The handle on this is is the most ergomic of all, gives me the best grip out of all the other models, which is great since I'm usually very foamed up in soap when I use this. However the cartridge is not much different from the original. I like the breeze better since it has bigger lubricating strip.

It's very basic in shavors

I didn't have any huge issues with the razor. It's just not the best I've used. I would probably not buy it again.

Simply...Divine

I used this razor for a year. That is the longest I think I ever committed to a razor. I threw it out though one day in anger after cutting myself one too many times with my very dulled blade (I definitely wasn't replacing my blades enough at the time), and I regretted it later when I couldn't find it again in stores. I used the Schick Hydro for a long time also, but have recently given up on that...read more since I was constantly needing to replace the heads for it and just don't like the jojoba stuff. (I just wrote a review for it, but that's pretty much the gist of it.) Anyway, I just purchased an Embrace, and I can't decide if it really gives a closer shave or not. Some people swear it does, but for me it seems about the same, but I like the shower pod better because it sticks to my shower and the one I got with the Divine was just designed to sit on like a soap dish or something. The Embrace is really nice, but so is the Divine, and since the Embrace heads are more expensive than the Divine ones, and I can still find the heads for the Divine, and most Venus razors work with whatever Venus heads you buy for them, I will definitely be buying the Divine heads once I finish my Embrace ones...which could take a while, since both the Divine and Embrace heads are made to last. Of all the razors I've tried, the Divine is definitely my favorite.

Not Bad

There isn't really much difference between this razor and the original. I think this one has moisture strips, but all they do is get sticky and weird. It's a pretty good razor after they wear off. Then you should use shaving cream.

Razor I always keep coming back to

This razor is a staple in my beauty product wardrobe. It is the first razor I used when I first started shaving, and I always come back to this one. Venus is a brand I trust and I know it gives me a smooth shave. Nicks are minimized with this razor and razor bumps are also reduced. The multiple blades help to get every single hair and the conditioning strip helps to keep skin moisturized. The blades stay sharp for a long time as well. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Close shave with no cuts

This razor gives me a very close shave without me having to worry about cutting myself accidentally.

Good for some body parts

I do not enjoy shaving, and prefer to wax when financially possible. This razor is only good for some body parts. It works well for legs and armpits. It does deliever a close shave in those areas without having to go over the same area more than once. Although the design of this razor was not mean to those crevises and hard to reach places (ladies you know what I'm talking about).

Disappointed

I've been using gillette razors since I started shaving and have always liked them. I've been very disappointed with the Venus Divine. The first shave is great but after that I can never get a smooth shave. The moisture bands don't seem to do anything and the blade RUSTS. Not something I want to be trying to shave with.

I used to love.

I used this razor for 5+ years before I switched over to the Venus Embrace. I really liked it when I was using it, but there are some problems in comparison to the new Venus razor I am now using. The handle is very slick, and I found that I could easily lose control over it (the Embrace has a rubber like handle, very convenient), but it does form to the hand nicely. The heads for this razor are ch...read moreeaper and smaller than the Embrace, so they are more affordable to replace and can get into smaller areas easier. For a three razor containing head, this does get a pretty close shave, but I feel the Embrace left me even smother. It's a great razor, but the Embrace was an upgrade for me.
