What is one beauty product you can’t live without? Did you think your razor? If you didn’t, I bet you are silently chiding yourself thinking, “yeah, that’s a must have in my beauty routine!” For me personally, I use my Gillette Venus Razor Extra Smooth twice a week! In fact, I cannot travel without it and I love to shave before working out! This means I am changing out the razor blade about once a month. Gillette Venus has now made women’s shaving even more convenient with their women’s razor subscription box; no more having to run to the store in a pinch to get blade refills!

When did you start shaving?

For me, I’ve had a women’s razor in my hand since 3rd grade… much to my mom’s chagrin, I started shaving young. One day while showering, I snuck my mom’s razor and shaved my legs. When I finally told me mom my secret, she said, “well, you can’t stop shaving them now!” Ever since then, I have shaved my legs 1-2 times a week – especially when I am taking a detox bath!

Women’s Venus Razors

First of all, did you know that up until 2001, razors were marketed only towards men? It was that year that Gillette Venus became the first brand to design razors specifically for women. They created 16 different razor handles, based on the way they are gripped when in use, and thusly became a staple in many ladies’ households and the best razor for women. They’re now the #1 and the most awarded women’s razor in the world. This is a huge step in the right direction for women’s equality. While many may say that feminism means that you shouldn’t shave your legs at all, I believe firmly that they are wrong and feminism means that you have the choice to shave your legs if that makes you happy! The clear difference is that feminism and equality mean the power to choose – and shaving is something that makes me feel beautiful! I am glad that Gillette focused a part of their brand on women.

Women’s Razor Subscription Box

In today’s busy society, who really has time to keep track of when your razor head will need a refill? Between balancing two jobs, keeping a tidy apartment, tending after a kitty (and husband), and just plain downtime to relax, I sure don’t have the time to tally that! Luckily, Gillette Venus was smart, and just like their previous track record, ahead of the game when it comes to knowing a woman’s needs. They know just how involved our lives are, so they created a shave club for women!

How A Women’s Shave Club Works

To start off with, with Venus Direct women’s razors, all my ladies can order with their razors to their door with an easy 3-step process! You can choose your preferred handle, Venus razor blade refills, or disposable razors and then choose the frequency of your deliveries. With plans starting as low as $10 per month, every single order ships to you for free and you can cancel at any time – no questions asked. Personally, I’m a huge fan of the Platinum handle. It is my go-to because of the heavier, premium feel that offers more control when shaving. Again, I love the Extra Smooth blade refills because they have 5 blades, a skin guard, and a ribbon of moisture. Of course, you have other choices of handles and blades to choose from when customizing your subscription plan, but I would definitely recommend that combo! The good news is that every Venus handle fits with any blade refill.

    I’ve read a couple articles recently on this new subscription service and I definitely want to give it a try. I usually shave every other day because my hair grows back if I so much as sneeze haha. But I’ve always used cheap-o razors and I cut myself and give myself razor burn far too often.

    I always hear great things about Gillette Venus razors! I actually have never shaved any part of my body in my life because I just don’t grow hair on my legs, underarms, etc (thank my Korean genes because my mom and grandmother also never grew hair on those places too). I’ll recommend this to my friends though!

    I often buy cheap razors, I guess this is what I should invest in. Thank you for the review.
