I am absolutely in love with this razor. I used to use Gillette's Sensor Excel for Women and was pretty happy with it. But when the Venus came out, I just had to try it. I'm so glad I did, cause this razor is better. While both gave me close shaves, the Venus' razor head is much larger, so it takes much less time for me to shave in the mornings - always a plus! I also found that I don't nick my legs nearly as much as I did with the old Gillette. The only problem I have with the Venus is the cost of replacement blades - 4 blades cost $6! Kinda steep, I know, but well worth it to me.
