Updated February 2025 – Gillette Venus Razors sent me a sample for this review years ago, and I’m sharing why I still swear by this brand over a decade later!
I’m one of those girls that has to shave every single day to keep my legs and underarms silky smooth. I swear my hair grows back faster than the speed of light. No really, it does! I have learned over the years that a good razor is a necessity, one with plenty of blades. Every time a razor comes out with an extra blade, I’m the first to go and buy it.
My ultimate favorite razor brand ever is Venus by Gillette. I have used multiple different ones over the years and I swear they just keep getting better. Did you know that you can use the same Venus handle for any of their blades? Amazing, right? That means that you can find your perfect match without having to buy the complete razor again!
This review was originally written is May of 2013, and 13 years later, a Venus razor is still my go-to!
The Venus & Olay Razor features 5 blades for the closest shave and moisture bars so there is no need for shaving cream! I’m not sure about you, but shaving cream is a must for me with any other razor.
While trying the Venus & Olay Razor for the first time, I was quite impressed with the moisture bars. I had shaving cream handy just in case, though I did not need it one bit! This razor completely eliminates the need for shaving cream, gel, soap or whatever you use regularly.
I was able to easily switch out the Olay blade for any of the Venus razor blades, for the closest shave. Mostly, I’m excited that one of my favorite brands just keeps getting better. It’s great to know that they’re listening to what women really want and need when it comes to shaving!

Absolutely! I mix and match all the time, which is perfect for my different needs. It’s also a bonus if I grab blades from a store that doesn’t carry the ones I normally pick.
You’ll know your blade is dull if it starts to pull at your hair, or feels rough over your skin. You may even experience post shave irritation.
