Great for travel!

I am a longtime user of the Venus Embrace razor and blades, so these are a no brainer for me. They are perfect for travel because I still get the smooth, close shave I'm used to but I don't have to worry about losing or forgetting my favorite razor somewhere. At the end of the trip I can just toss it in the trash instead of having to pack it and bring it home with me. We also keep disposable razor...read mores in our guest bathroom so traveling friends and family can pack less if they'd like. These are so handy and definitely worth the extra cost compared to other disposable razors.

Very Good , but Very Pricey and Fragile

I have been using this particular razor for well over a year or maybe even two and I love it a lot. The shave is very close, yet it's really hard to cut yourself with it. The razor lasts quite a while as long as you don't leave it on the side of the tub (seems to rust quite easily and the moisturizing bar can melt and get sticky, gross). My boyfriend is bald and has used this if he can't find his ...read moreown razor, which makes the whole interchangeable head really helpful. He thinks it's a pretty decent razor (and he's much more picky than I am). Overall, it's teh best razor that I've tried so far so I've stuck with it.

Smooth shave!

For over a year I had been using Shick Quattro and I liked it but I decided I was ready to try something new. I have heard good things about the Venus razors and now I see why. The five blades allow for a nice close shave, and the glide enhancers give such a smooth shave that I even tried it without any cream and it still shaved smoothly! The actual head of this razor is very flexible and moves...read more around any curves or corners nicely for a great close shave even in hard spots. Another great thing I noticed about these is that the back of the blades is open to be able to clean easily, all I have to do is let the run on the back of the blades and everything easily gets washed out, that's wonderful to me because usually my complaint about razors is that they are hard to clean when stuff gets stuck under the blades and there's no way to clean it from the back or anything. It has a nice grip, the packaging is cute and colorful and its also inexpensive, I got these at target for 7 something. Overall great product and will continue to buy!

Good

All the Venus line of razors do a great job & this disposable is no exception. However, like ALL razors these days they are overpriced but at least they work well and last for many uses.

Good for homes-away-from-home

I only use Venus brand razors, in my opinion, they work the best. This is what I always buy to leave at my boyfriends apartment. Its not super expensive, but it works well and comes with a few to last me some time. I also buy this kind when I know my mom and sister are in need of a new razor as well, this way we all get one! As with any razor, take care of it (rinse after use, don't leave it layin...read moreg around, etc) and the product life will expand further than the package says it will. A personal favorite, perfect for vacations, leaving at a friends or boyfriends place, or even at home if you are trying to stretch a few dollars and go with cheaper vs expensive.
