Gillette Venus razor was a very risky purchase for me but whatever I have read about it was absolutely true. It’s very gentle and runs smoothly on skin. It doesn’t hurts at all. Forming a lather on the area to be shaved is added advantage. The brush is very nicely designed that in curve area too like knees and elbows it does its job without hurting. Goes fine on all skin types. No itchiness or rashes faced. Although it’s not permanent solution to hair removal cream. Growing of hair back depends upon person to person body type, the razor had nothing to do with it. Blades should be removed regularly for own hygiene purpose. So it’s not the full razor just the blades that needs to be purchased second time.
