 Don't Throw Away the Shaving Cream YetJul 22, 2009
By Crimson-Ribbon
"CrimsonRibbon"
Let me preface this review by saying that I hate shaving. I shave a lot of stuff- legs, arms, armpits, bikini area, and my big toe. I can get away with shaving some areas once a week, but my legs need to be shaved at least every other day during the summer or there is visable black stubble. I have very sensitive skin that often gets razor burn and ingrown hairs. So I got this thinking, perfect! Three blades= close shave; built in shave gel= more convenient and faster.
Well, there are several issues with this razor. During the first use, I noticed two things: One, there is a lot of slobbery goop coming off the razor... and two, the shave gel bars that sit above and below the blades make it very difficult to get a close shave. They do flex a little, but especially when they are new, they are cumbersome and they block the blades from getting close enough to the skin, especially in contoured areas like the knee and the bikini area. It does moisturize well, though, and at least for the first use or two, you won't need to use any shaving cream. I didn't have any razor burn, but I had a lot of stray hairs around my knees that I wasn't able to shave.
By the third use, those gel bars have worn down a little (or a lot) and you can get a closer shave. But now with less slobbery gel goop, you are very likely to have irritated skin or little cuts. I have to use soap to lubricate my skin before shaving if the cartridge is not brand new, and I keep cutting my armpit with this razor and I didn't seem to have that problem with the regular Venus razor.
The gel is either gone or falls off by about the fifth or sixth use. These cartridges are just way too expensive to have to replace them so often. I found that leaving the razor in the shower cuts it's life even shorter so I keep it in a cupboard when I'm not using it... so the razor caddy that sticks to the wall in the shower doesn't serve much purpose. Maybe if you are the only one who uses your shower and you shave every time you're in there you can get some use out of it.
I like using this on my legs during the summer when I shave every day and I don't want to spend the extra time with shaving cream. I don't like using this on my armpits and bikini area; I keep cutting myself or leaving stubble. I wouldn't buy this again- the regular Venus is easier to maneuver and shaves closer. Even if I have to buy shaving cream again.

Maybe it's just meApr 21, 2009

I've been happy with various Venus shaving cartridges since they were first introduced. I've kept the original handle, but always tried out the new cartridges when they were released. Now, this one has a solid soap on top and bottom of the razor blades, to take the place of your shaving cream. I thought this would be good.
I haven't cut my legs while shaving for probably 10 years...until today, when I used this razor. Because the head is very wide (to contain the soap strips), it is difficult to see if you're actually cutting the hairs short enough, or maybe you're just cutting them "shorter" but not shaving them down to the skin. I found myself pressing very hard to make sure the razor blades would reach the skin, and unfortunately, four times they not only reached the skin but went below it.
I won't be using the Spa Breeze again. But maybe this is just me.

 Silky, Smooth, And Easy To UseJun 23, 2009
By Karen Joan
"Siren"
I really like the GILLETTE VENUS BREEZE RAZOR. I have used a VENUS BREEZE for a number of years now, and this convenient, one step razor always gives me soft, smooth legs, with no nicks or cuts. The VENUS BREEZE RAZOR line is pretty, feminine, and clearly "made for a woman, not a man." This version, the GILLETTE VENUS BREEZE, SPA BREEZE RAZOR comes in a nice white tea scent that is a very pleasing change of pace.
Like the standard (purple) VENUS BREEZE, the GILLETTE VENUS BREEZE, SPA BREEZE RAZOR (pale pink) comes with a holder which mounts directly to the wall of your shower or bath. Inside the holder is space for two spare razor cartridges, each sealed in their own individual packaging. Each cartridge has three blades, which give your legs a sexy, ultra close shave. The three blades are surrounded by gel bars. There is no need to use shaving cream; just moisten the gel bars to get that silky, satiny feel. The gel also is a light moisturizer, but you will still need to use your regular skin cream if you live in any kind of extreme climate.
To get the best shave with a VENUS BREEZE, soak in a warm tub or stand under the shower to let the heat open up the pores of your skin. This will help any razor to give you a closer shaver. While you are soaking, get the cartridge wet, so that the gel gets creamy. You never want to shave with a dry razor anyway...ouch! I usually just toss the razor in the tub for a minute or two. Then shave away in your normal manner, and you will have the softest legs of your life! If you do prefer the shower to the tub, then another nice thing about VENUS BREEZE is that you never have to worry about shaving your legs quickly, before the shaving cream rinses off in the shower spray. Just one less thing to worry about.
The only negative about the VENUS BREEZE is that the gel bars do not last as long as the blades! With care, the blades in each cartridge last up to a month. (The triple blades shave my legs so close, that I really only need to shave them every other day.) But the gel bars either run out or fall off in 2 - 3 weeks. Then I go back to the shaving cream until the blades give out.
Other than that, I think the VENUS BREEZE is an excellent product. I have been satisfied with it for many years. If Gillette could just make the gel bars last a bit longer...the VENUS BREEZE would go from a great product to a perfect one.

This razor does the job for your legsSep 17, 2009
By Jenny J.J.I.
"A New Yorker"
I tried the Venus Divine, wasn't too impress. I was using the Venus Spa Breeze, and I loved it. Couldn't pass up this offer so I to give it a shot -- I love it. However, it gets 4 stars instead of 5 cause mainly I had to change cartridges after 2-3 shaves, which I guess I really should be doing. I was impressed with the first couple of shaves, but noticed the gel strips dying quickly on me in the shower. Once they fell off, I found the razor head overly cumbersome to use (especially since a standard Venus razor head is no petite thing). Plus I accidentally left this off the pod and near water one day. The next day, the moisture strips were gooey and eroded.
If I were going away and not expecting to have to shave my legs more than three times or so, this would be an excellent alternative to lugging along a shaving gel and razor. If you're looking for something to last, though, I'd go with the Venus Divine because it last way longer probably up to 5 uses. Still, I have had no other problems with this razor and find that it is pretty moisturizing.

 Go back to the Venus or prepare for razor burn from the Venus BreezeSep 07, 2009
By LuxShopper
I am a big fan of the Gillette Venus so this seemed like a great upgrade -- so I bought the large pack with refills. I now have $30 of razors and after weeks of bad shaves and razor burns, I give up. I agree with other reviewers that these gel pads don't work but even worse, they get in the way. You never get that great close shave. I have cut myself twice and have razor burn on my legs as I type this. While I like the look of this product (soft pink instead of the blue/green combo) and the smell is nice, it simply is not functional.
