Gillette Venus Original Razor Review

Hi you guys, well I have spent most of my life attending classes and treating patients. When I was in medical school, was the kind of girl who would wake up at 7:40 AM for a class starting at 8:00 AM. Sundays were all about making presentations and watching TV series. So I hardly ever had the time to visit a saloon. Plus waxing used to hurt like – Mother of God! So one of my good friends introduced me to a razor. I was quite scared initially but soon it became a habit since it was way easier and very quick. I did hurt myself sometimes but later I got more comfortable and did it without any trouble. So let us talk about my favourite razor Gillette Venus Original Razor Review. Every time I try a new brand, I somehow end up going back to this.

In Detail Gillette Venus Original Razor Review and My Experience

The razor has this cool blue themed outer look and a design which ensures we have a firm grip on it. The design is such that its easy to hold as well as easy to work with it. The head is flexible which ensures that the blades move along the curves of the skin and do not cause any injury. The blue protective cushions above and below the razor make sure the blades don’t slip from the skin while shaving.

How I Use it

The ideal way of using it would be using a shaving foam or a soap and then shaving with the razor. However I have to admit that on several occasions, I did use it on dry skin. I use it while I am in the shower. I always exfoliate my skin using any of my regular skin scrubs before shaving my skin. Exfoliating the skin before shaving gives a really close shave which results in super smooth skin.

Effects

This razor is amazing for the fact that it gives the closest shave ever. The flexible head makes sure I get no injury while I am using it carefully. It does not cause any nicks or cuts usually but if I am not careful enough, I do get slight nick sometimes.

I totally recommend this razor to all the ladies who like to shave. This is very decent and good quality product and comes at an affordable price tag. A lot of my friends get waxing done regularly but still keep a razor handy for emergencies.
