How to Pick the Best Razor for Your Skin
It is important to have a razor that is suited to the job you want to put it to as well as your skin type. If you have skin sensitivity, for example, then choose a Venus razor that is designed to help protect it. The same goes if you have dry skin or you are looking for a razor that would be good to take on holiday with you. In this Venus razor guide, you'll discover which are the best products to choose for your skin type, allowing you to enjoy smooth skin whenever you shave with a razor that's built to last.
Venus Smooth Razors for Every Skin Type
Let's take a look at some of the Venus razors you can choose for your skin type and which blades offer compatibility with which razor handles.
Sensitive Skin
First up, the Gillette Venus ProSmooth Sensitive Razor is a great choice if you have sensitive skin and suffer from irritation after shaving from time to time. Benefitting from a water-activated ribbon of moisture to help protect your skin when shaving, this model is available in several different editions. Use light strokes with this Venus razor because its pivoting blades will adjust to your skin contours. The five-bladed Venus ProSmooth Sensitive Razor Blades that go with it are compatible with other Venus system razors.*
According to one reviewer, the Gillette Venus ProSmooth Sensitive Razor is well worth the investment: “Really like this razor. Feels good to hold and I'm super smooth.”
Alternatively, the Venus Comfortglide Sensitive Razor is a great choice if you have sensitive skin thanks to its SkinSoft technology and three thin-uniform-telomer (TUT) blade coating, designed to help minimise friction when shaving. The Venus Comfortglide Sensitive razor blades also feature a touch of aloe, helpful for anyone with skin sensitivity. To achieve smooth shaves, work in the direction of your hair's natural growth.
Dry Skin
The Venus Extra Smooth Swirl Razor as well as the spare Venus Extra Smooth Swirl Razor Blades that go with it are ideal for anyone with dry skin who wants to achieve great smoothness with every shave. Choose Gillette Venus Extra Smooth Swirl Razor Blades for their SkinCushion™ technology with a touch of vitamin E for glide which helps you to obtain close shaves without drying your skin out. The FlexBall head of the Extra Smooth Swirl Razor will also make shaving easier because it will adapt to the contours of your body. Be sure to remoisturise thoroughly after shaving if you have dry skin. These Venus Extra Smooth blades are compatible with any Venus razor handle and vice versa.*
As one reviewer put it: “Best razor in the market, hands down. I have dry skin and always suffered from skin irritation after shaving but not after I used this!”
Do you have dry skin and want another option? How about the Gillette Venus Pro Smooth Sensitive Razor and Venus Pro Smooth Razor Blades? This one has a metal handle which affords a great deal of control when shaving. The Venus Pro Smooth refills benefit from SkinCushion™ technology, too, this time with a touch of aloe vera oils for helping to prevent dryness. Offering up to ten times more lubrication than other razors, you should shave with this razor after a long soak to help open up your skin's pores. You get just the same compatibility with other Venus razors with Venus Pro Smooth five-bladed refill cartridges.*
*Except for Venus Pubic Hair & Skin and Venus Snap razors.
FAQs
What type of razor is the best for women?
This comes down to personal preference as well as where on your body you're shaving. For example, the Venus Deluxe Smooth Sensitive Razor is often preferred by women because of its SkinElixir that releases a perfect dose of protection with each shave. There again, you might want a Venus Dermaplaning Razor if you're considering shaving your face. Alternatively, check out the Venus Pubic Hair & Skin Razor with a Touch of Aloe Vera if you're looking for a Venus razor for your bikini line. After all, it's all about your skin, your way so your choice of razor should reflect your preferences.
How do you get smooth skin after shaving?
Whether you choose a Venus Smooth razor or any of the other blades and refills in our extensive collection, smooth skin comes from adequate preparation and paying attention to your aftercare, too. Exfoliating will help your choice of blade to reach your skin, cutting low without needing to apply undue pressure. Likewise, using an aloe vera-infused shaving foam, such as the Venus Satin Care Sensitive Skin Shave Gel, will help to protect your skin while shaving. Finish up with a suitable moisturiser and enjoy glowing skin that doesn't just look good but feels smooth to the touch, as well!
