June's Beauty Guru Review: Venus Proskin MoistureRich Razor

This month's Beauty Guru assignment was Gillette's Venus Proskin MoistureRich Razor. The hairs on my leg are fine. The first time I shaved, I thought the razor missed quite a few due to this and that the shave gel was at its highest height. After a few uses and the shave gel wearing down, I still found areas that were being missed by the razor requiring me to go back over my legs several times.

The truth was I was missing these areas. Without shaving cream to outline where I had shaved and the width of the head being minimized by the side shave gel bars, it was a lot like a lawn mower, under the wheels does not get mowed and neither did the hair under those side shave gel bars.

The Venus Proskin cartridges will work on any Venus razor. The head is flexible and I did not nick or scratch that the two places that I always seem to scratch or nick, ankles and behind the knees. I loved and appreciated this. Until using this razor, I had just accepted the fact, I shave; I need to have Bleed A Rest on standby.

The Venus ProSkin razor came with two cartridges, the handle and a hook to hang the razor. This razor eliminates the need for shaving cream and for me, the need to apply lotion after shaving. The triple razors on the head are surrounded with a moisture rich shave gel that has a subtle clean scent and leaves your skin feeling silky. The shave gel bars are fantastic and if Gillette sold it in a soap-cake form I would buy it in a minute.

The true test of a product is would I recommend that my family and friends buy the product or if I will continue to buy it. In this instance I say, "No". My friends are like me. They will not like learning how to shave to accommodate for those side bars and not seeing where they have shaved.
