Gillette Venus Embrace

If you're a bit squeamish or aren't open-minded  to an honest review you may want to click off lol!!

Okay, so in order to give a good accurate opinion about this razor I decided to grow my leg hair out. Yes this may be a little weird because I'm a lady but at the same time....How can I give an honest review If I haven't clearly used the razor?

Exactly!!!

For this particular review I used Gilette Venus Embrace Olay cartridge.

It took me a whole 3-4 weeks to grow my hair out on my legs. My husband was beyond disgusted but I did this for the sake of a review lol.  I'm of African American descent and I can get pretty ashy and hairy if I wanted to so um don't mind the pictures of my ashy legs lol

Can barely see my tattoo...so hairy Before!

So as you can see in this first picture my hair on my legs is extremely long. It has been this way for like I said 3-4 weeks. Yes, I did go on a dry spell while having my legs this way lol lol.

My wet leg lol...before 2

In this picture I'm showing how long hair is on my leg while wet.

So on to the review.

Let's start with the razor itself. The razor is soft and comfortable to use. It has grips so when you're shaving you won't drop it like you do with other razors...think in term of the plastic disposables. It has five blades so you can get that close shave and two moisture bars. With the razor any Gillette Venus refill fits this so don't don't throw the head away!! This will save you lots of money

When I started shaving I didn't use any shaving cream or soaps to help with the shaving process. I'm glad I didn't because the razor kind of provides all that you need to help get a closer shave. The moisture bars (one on top and one on bottom) kind of lathered my skin which you'll see in the next picture

This is what happens while shaving

The moisture bars really helped my skin feel so soft. I didn't notice any nicks when I shaved with this razor which is a good thing in my opinion. I did feel that the bars kind of got in the way of me shaving to my full potential but overall it did a great job.

Overall my legs look better and feel way smoother. I know my husband will be more than happy that this is over with because who likes to feel man legs on a woman's body!!

I do recommend you go out and get this razor.  My legs are visibly smoother and softer. Now you can see my tattoo without the hair covering it.
