Review: Gillette Venus Embrace & Spa Breeze

Shaving your legs has never been easier, thanks to the new Gillette Venus Spa Breeze and Embrace shavers! Let's face it, we ladies all want to have razor smooth legs and using the right shaver is imperative.

I have been using both of these shavers for the past few weeks and I cannot get over how smooth my legs feel after using them.
The Venus Embrace, pictured to the left, sports a new vibrant purple and turquoise gel handle that bestows a whole new level of smoothness. I love how it fits comfortably in my hand and how the handle is the perfect length. The five curve-hugging blades make it easier to shave without continually cutting yourself. I also love the handy suction cupped ShowerPod that holds the razor plus 2 spare cartridges.

In July 2008 a leading women’s publication named Embrace: “Your Best Shave Ever.” I can certainly see why!



The Venus Spa Breeze Disposables and the Venus Spa Breeze System is designed for women who seek convenience, but still love to indulge their skin without the need for separate shave cream. Both contain built-in shave gel bars that provide a skin-loving light lather for a smooth shave.

With a beautiful blush pink handle, Venus Spa Breeze features flexible shave gel bars infused with the clean, fresh scent of white tea to indulge the senses while providing a close, smooth shave.

Key features & Benefits:

• Built-in shave gel bars that flex and respond to fit intricate curves, delivering a close, smooth shave.
• A bluish pink, spa-inspired handle that provides a firm gripping surface.
• Packaged with a shaving compact for easy in-shower razor and blade storage.
• When wet, it releases a soothing white tea scent and a light lather, which eliminates the need for separate shave cream.

My daughter and I both were enchanted with the Venus Spa Breeze because it delivered the smoothest shave we have ever had. There is no need to apply separate shaving cream because the Spa Breeze has built-in gel bars that deliver just the right amount of lather.

These razors are a world apart from other razors I have used. I have been a loyal user of mens replacement blades for years now because they give a much better shave than the women's shavers. But from my experience with the Venus Embrace and Spa Breeze, I am totally hooked! Both give you a clean smooth shave and are better shaped for a woman's curves. They are easy to use, a good value, plus you get a great smooth shave.
I highly recommend both of these shavers!
