Love the new model
I love the Venus embrace with the five baldes. I've been using the Venus three blade model for years. The new design contours easily around my ankles and other areas of my legs. The shave is very smooth and I felt I could skip a day of shaving my legs. The new handle grip is an improvement from the three blade model. The old model had deep, narrow ridges that would develop mold. The new models grips are lower and wider which prevents that from happening.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Love this!
I had absolutely no razor burn or irritation with this Venus version. I love all the Venus razors, but this one left my legs especially smooth! A bit pricey, but definitely worth it.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

A Luxury Ride
At first I was put off by the mass packaging and shower holder, but I have to for a woman't razor, this is the luxury of the disposables. At first with the moisturizing strip I wasn't sure if it was working at all. I'm so used to the "scrapping" feeling, and having to push down hard, especially after contiuned use of a razor. But the five blades made for an incredibly close shave, and...read more the strip added to the silky smoothness of my skin's surface. I'd have to say the selling point was the swiveling head-how did I ever manage without one? This made a big differences on surfaces like my knees and underarm were it usually takes much finagling to get it all good (the long ergonomic handle helps too). I will say I felt immediately less impressed after subsequent uses. True to form of all "disposables" it becomes less affective after the each use, but this razor is definitely an upgrade from the ones i've been using and I'll likely continue with it for some time.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

The best out of the Venus line
This is great for those of us with sensitive skin and prone to razor burn. The razor fits nicely in your hand and the grip helps to prevent a klutzes like me from dropping it. The refills are pricey, but I wouldn't go back to the bare bones Venus for anything.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Gillette Venus Embrace
I did like the fact that this razor has 5 blades instead of just 3. I am lucky that I don't need to shave my legs but it did work well under my arms. I also don't have to buy blades as often (since I am shaving a smaller area), so although the refills are expensive, it seems to be worth the investment.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Love it!
I am not sure whether it was the five blades or the moisturizing strip that gives the complete silky feeling that this razor leaves you with, but I am convinced! The major perk for me was that I do not have to shave daily with this razor, which is completely not normal for me! The only downside is that, unlike other reviewers, I did nick myself, and in this case, the five blades were NOT a plus! But with careful shaving, this razor is awesome!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Loved the razor AND the little holder to hang on the shower wall
This was the first razor that I didn't have to use shaving cream with... and I loved it! It went over my knees comfortably without so much as a nick. I also loved the egg shaped holder that suctions to the walls of my shower. Definitely a product that I will continue to use. I even shaved my arm as a test of how clean it shaves and I was stubble free for at least a couple of days.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Great razor
I thought I was doing great shaving with the old Venus razor when it had only 3 blades and couldn't imagine there could be an improvement on that....but I was happy to find out that I was wrong. 5 blades are most definitely better! I got a great, close shave without any razor burn or nicks and it glides very easily over all body parts. Yes it's a bit more expensive than others but it's well worth it when your legs look and feel great.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Venus Embrace Razor is a winner
I’ve had a chance to use the new Venus® Embrace razor. It’s fantastic. It has 5 blades, which helps to leave you really smooth and not with dry skin(although I don’t know if it’s the ribbons of moisture or my lavender oil). It’s even better than the original when it comes to hair removal. Most of the time, I only needed to do one pass to shave an area. The bla...read moredes curve along your skin helping to avoid nicks, especially in the notorious danger zones likes your ankles. Sure, it’s a bit pricey but it’s worth it in the long run as you shave less often, your skin is smooth and no painful nicks!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
