The Secret to a Smooth Shave
I’ve found the secret to the smoothest shave ever. EVER.
Gillette recently introduced their newest razor, Venus Embrace, and I am in razor heaven. With five spring-mounted blades to hug every curve of the leg, the cartridge sits flat against the skin for the closest possible shave (also making nicks nearly impossible).
The Venus Embrace also has a protective ribbon of moisture that surrounds the shave, but I’ve been using my husband’s LAB Series for Men Maximum Comfort Shave Cream and my legs have never been smoother.
The LAB Series for Men Maximum Comfort Shave Cream is fragrance and paraben free and a little goes a very long way.
The New Gillette Venus Embrace (including a shower pod and two refill cardridges) is available online at Drugstore.com for $12.99.
I LOVE the Venus razors. I’ve been using the divine blades for years, but maybe I’ll upgrade and give the embrace a try.

You won’t regret it, my tall, red friend!

Venus razors are the best; for those of us without husbands with shave cream, skintimate gel works wonders as well.

OMG, i LOVE my venus embrace razor (if it’s possible to love a razor, that is). it’s the green one. where has it been all my life??
however, i did try the purple ones (venus breeze), with the shave gel around the actual razor, and they were good the first shave, but after that, they dried out way too quickly and were pretty much useless. you know, if anyone was wondering.
