Review on Gillette Venus Deluxe Smooth Platinum Razors for Women - 1 Venus Razor with 2 Razor Blade Refills, Metal Handle featuring Anti-Slip Grip by Brian Benford

My 15 year old son shaves for swimming and once he got over his macho addiction to a women's shaver he became a total devotee. He tried using a men's razor for almost a year, but shaving before a competition took forever and his legs constantly looked like he'd gotten too close to the grass. In women's razors, the large surface area of the cartridge helps the blades stay in constant contact with the skin at the right angle when cleaning legs, arms and armpits, making the process much faster and leaving it looking and feeling much better feels. Also, the slightly longer handle, although only a fraction of an inch, makes it much easier to reach those hard-to-reach places. With less effort and better results, it's become less of a hassle, so he shaves more often than just before the competition, which helps him perform better in training and prevents his hair from growing too long, further reducing the effort. Typical of the Venus Platinum Extra Smooth, it likes the firm grip and feels like it's being shaved very smooth.
