Now I could compare the times shaver "Venus Standard", "Venus Spa" and the blades "Olay Sugar Berry". There are for me subjectively not entirely new inventions, more known models in another look. Are the standard and Breeze SPA blades with 3 cutting equipped, so come "Sugar Berry" even with 5 of them are used.
A small Gleitgelstreifen the blade area, so I thought would actually nowadays mandatory, because it produces in connection with pure water a more pleasant first Quick Shave (if times no shaving cream is readily accessible). Unfortunately the Venus standard model does not have these gel strips. There is now a blue indicator strip that fades when the blade supposedly no longer optimal shaved ... So in this model is extra shaving gel or foam required!
The extra soft, good-smelling and quite thick "gel pad" the SPA and Sugar Berry model should allow the shaving without additional foam (?). That works a few times, unfortunately holds the pillow not so many erasures by how the blade could create. The pad is activated when it gets a little dampened. It is even better to use if you even with moistens the skin. I take anyway one way or another always something extra foam on hand, so I like to grab the favorable Venus model. But well, if it has to be fast times, the gel pad is really very helpful.
Conclusion:
The shaving is quite enjoyable and thoroughly on all models. Large differences I feel, in use with my shaving cream, not. Possibly the gel pad the SPA and Sugar Berry model in tight spaces sometimes even something in the way (?).
It should be noted that, a gel strip / pad on the blade is then absolutely advantageous in situations where there is no foam / gel case. Even though it keeps only a few shaves, it makes the first shaves in connection with pure water, significantly softened.
That is the real difference between the standard model and the other two models, especially the "Sugar Berry" in addition 2 more cutting has again in reserve, but which distinguish themselves subjectively not very large in the cutting performance.
As far as supply all equipment and good results for the respective price there are quite commendable razor!
Whoever uses shaving cream / gel anyway, I would recommend the slightly more favorable Venus-standard model (even with the replacement blades), for all other users who want sometimes fast shave with pure water, I would always recommend blades with gel pads. The blades with 3 cutting hand me out completely - Who wants to have it very comfortable, reaches for the high-priced 5-blade model with possibly a little better cutting performance (?).
4 stars for all products.
Incidentally fit the different blades Venus definitely handle the Venus series, so you can time different blades after his "Gusto" try ... without which you would have to buy more additional shaver, very good!
