Gillette Venus Breeze Razor (Health and Beauty)

Customer Review

For years, I use my blue Gillette Venus (original / blue) and thought to myself that it is time time to try the newer models, which I ended up with this product. And I must say, 'new' is not always 'better'!
The razor was well received packaged and includes the handle, two razor blades (the label '3 blades' on the packaging, applies only to the blade structure, not to the product number of essays!) And a small bracket that easily with an included suction cup can be mounted in the shower. The bracket holds unless permanently running down water on it, but offers no protection / storage possibility as the 'old cases', which the shaver can not be so easily packed for travel, as long as the blade has been placed. The essays are as usual simply removable / replaceable, but the product comes up with no cap or protection for the blades.
When shaving itself I was only excited because the blades are embedded in a gel, which poses a very simple handling. Especially in the area of ​​joints, such as knees, he is rapidly deploy smoothly and without cuts, I can not always with my 'old' shaver say. The gel pads but when wet gel from, making the blades go smoothly over the skin, without having to use shaving cream, so to speak, a product with an integrated shaving cream! But that is also the point why I personally reach back to my old razor and the Breeze no longer touch them. On the one hand the razor smells strongly of freesia, a scent that I associate with my grandmother and other elderly ladies. This alone I want the razor but not blame, since it is a matter of taste, but I disturb the gel cushion, because even though the blades are super gentle, considerably longer stubble than other products are left behind and what's worse, I had after shaving and drying many 'pockige' locations on the leg, who for about an hour itched terribly. I tend not to sensitive skin, but the Breeze broke through the gel pad this very unpleasant skin irritations from. In addition, the gel is secreted when wet, whether it comes in contact with the skin or not. So I had some places small Gelfützen in the shower. And once the pads are dry, it becomes clear that they are by some applications, but are porous and quickly disintegrate.
As mentioned above, the processing and the use is very good and the smell just a matter of opinion, but skin irritation, a worse shave and gel on the shower wall, should not be there, for me is an absolute no-go. Nevertheless, I give three stars because I would not exclude that other gel well tolerated, especially since you have to plan any unnecessary time for shaving.
