Product Review: Venus Embrace

Today I'm reviewing a product that mysteriously showed up in my mailbox from Proctor & Gamble.  So, like any new product I try, I'm going to review it. The Venus Embrace is not a razor I have used before so I was excited to try it.  I had previously done a review of the Venus & Olay Razor which you can find here.  While I liked the Venus & Olay Razor I found that the moisture bars didn't last long for me and I ended up needing to use shaving cream anyway.  So, on to the review:

Product Details:

• 5 blades for a dramatically smooth shave;
• Ribbon of moisture for a smooth glide;
• Interchangeable razor blade refill cartridges;
• Soft grip handle for no-slip control.

Visit the Official Website to learn more.

My Initial Impression:  I like that it has five blades but I wish it came with something to hang/store it in the shower.  I see on the website that it does come with something like that but mine was just the razor so it did not. 

Pros:  Five blades, pretty pink color, moisture ribbons, easy grip handle for no slips.

Cons:  None that  I can think of.

Final Impression:  I actually liked this razor a lot better than the Venus & Olay.  I don't really mind using shaving gel and I find a get a smoother shave when I let the gel sit for a few moments before shaving anyway.  The razor has lasted through many uses and I have very thick hair so that is saying a lot for this product.  In fact, I will even go as far as to say that this is one of the best razors I have used in a long time.  I'm ready to purchase a new razor and I think I will definitely be going and getting one of these.  Thanks Proctor & Gamble for sending me the mysterious package!
