Gillette Venus Disposables Versus Schick Intuition Razors

Finding a good razor is harder than it seems. A bad razor can leave you with irritation, cuts, patches of missed hair, and even stubble from not having a close enough shave . Bad razors, therefore, often require you to shave twice as frequently as a good razor would. Two very popular and highly advertised razor brands that I have tried are Gillette Venus Disposables and Schick Intuition.

Gillette Venus Disposables are advertised for their smooth, clean shave and flexible head that conforms to your curves. Unlike most shaving products, everything that has been advertised about them I have found to be true. They are very easy to use, with their rubber, easy to hold handles. The handles are shaped so that they easily conform to your hands. The sides have rubber no-slip grips on the sides to avoid dropping them in the shower, and to keep them from slipping mid-shave and causing those dreaded cuts.

The pivoting head, however, is perhaps the best feature of Gillette Venus Disposables. It makes shaving along curves and tricky areas a breeze. Stiff-headed razors make places such as armpits, knees, and bikini lines a nightmare, you are almost guaranteed to come away with some nicks. The Gillette Venus razor heads bend as you move along your curves and creases, allowing smooth streaks of shaving with no cuts. Another thing that helps this is the moisture strip which protects your skin and decreases irritation.

The Gillette Venus Disposables also offer a very clean shave. It has three razor blades, and allows you to get a close shave without the nicks and burns. Though they are disposables, they are very durable. Usually one will last about 3-4 weeks, which is much longer than most razors I have used. And, they are cheap. A three-pack will cost you about 6-8 dollars, which is a great deal.

If you plan on traveling with these razors, they do come with a slip on plastic cover. But, they do not stay on very well, which can be irritating when packing or unpacking. They are also a pain to find when they have come off in the bath/shower. But, overall they are a great deal.
