Venus & Olay Razor

I tried the Venus & Olay razor for the first time today, and lets just say I was less than happy with the outcome.  A little background on my skin, I have very sensitive,  easily irritated, razor burn prone skin. The razor has five sharp blades surrounded by two moister strips infused with Olay moisturizer. The Olay moisture strips did make the blades glide very easily, but maybe a little too easy because it cut me TWICE. Once above my knee, which is a tricky spot to go around anyways,  and once behind my knee on the other leg. This is one of the main reasons why I quit using a Venus razor before, because it's just TOO sharp for its own good. I have hairs that grow in so many different directions that I cant just shave up, I have to go sidesways, up,  down, and all around. The moisture strips are handy because there's no shave cream required. I however don't use shave cream anyways because my skin is just too sensitive. 


Product Details from Company
  • Venus’ five-bladed razors shave you close and adjust to women’s curves for a smooth and comfortable shave, even over tricky shaving areas like knees and ankles.
  • Olay Moisture Bars contain skin-enhancing elements found in Olay products: Petrolatum helps lock in skin’s moisture for less dryness and Glycerin helps offer that goddess glow! Just wet the razor to release a light lather – no separate shave cream required.
  • As with most Venus razors, new Venus & Olay also features a rounded, pivoting head designed for women’s curves, and a soft-grip ergonomic handle for confident control, even in wet and soapy environment



They're so confident in their product that they are offering 2X your money back if your not satisfied! 

  • The starter kit includes 1 Razor handle, 1 razor blade, and a suction holder for your shower.





    Verdict: I will not be repurchasing, let alone use this razor again because it is just not worth all the cuts I would have to go through.
