Review on Enhanced Gillette Venus Razor for Women's Shave & Hair Removal by Liz Taylor

I've been using Gillette Venus Original Razor refills for a number of years. This last batch seems to be different from my previous refills. The strip of material that is supposed to indicate when you need to put in a new blade seems much thicker than before. It gets in the way of the blade, preventing a nice, close to the skin, shave. In fact, it barely feels like it's taking the hair off, and I need to keep going over the same spot. When it happened with the first refill I thought it was a fluke, but all of the blades seem to have the same issue. I'm disappointed, these have worked well for so many years. It may be time to find an alternative despite my long term usage, since they no longer seem to work.
