Shaving Doesn’t Stop at Your Jawline. Meet the New GilletteLabs BODY + INTIMATE range

Upgraded and improved, the Gillette Venus Extra Smooth Swirl starter pack has everything needed to get you started with a transformed personal grooming regime. The new design aspects of the handle include its attractive lavender colour and the addition of a useful shower hanger for safe storage somewhere suitable in the bathroom. Meanwhile, the refill cartridges have been given even more lubrication and SkinSoft technology in the fifth blade to complement the four low cutting force blades, helping to reduce potential skin irritation. This upgrade generates less skin stress, allowing for even more comfortable shaves.

Apply shaving foam or gel , and activate the lubrastrip with even more moisturisation by allowing it to make contact with water. Shave with even, light strokes, rinsing the blade head as you proceed. Once you have finished shaving, wash the razor in clean water but don't wipe it dry. Mount it in the supplied shower hanger so it can aerate instead. Remember to moisturise after shaving for longer lasting smoothness.

  • Convenient storage - The supplied shower hanger makes it easy to keep your Gillette Venus razor handle and blade just where you want it for shaving in the shower or bath.
  • Compatibility - The handle will work with other types of blade heads including many from our collection of Gillette Venus razor blade value packs, providing a great deal of choice.
  • SkinSoft technology - The upgraded refills offer more lubrication and less stress on the skin - thanks to a redesigned fifth blade - compared to previous versions of Smooth Swirl cartridges.
  • This value pack contains all the essentials for a smooth shaving regime with high-quality results.
  • The four low cutting force blades allow for exceptionally close shaves without the need to push down.
  • The new design and colour of the Extra Smooth Swirl razor means it looks good in any setting.

  • 1 x Gillette Venus Extra Smooth Swirl razor handle

Is the Gillette Venus Extra Smooth Swirl Razor suitable for all skin types?

Yes, just like the other Gillette Venus razor blades you could buy, the three cartridges in this Gillette Venus Swirl starter pack are suited to everyone, regardless of individual skin type. This means you can use them confidently when shaving no matter if you have particularly dry or oily skin. Like all Gillette Venus products, however, we do not recommend shaving areas of skin currently undergoing an outbreak or rash. Nor should you shave broken skin.

What body parts can I use Gillette Venus Extra Smooth Swirl Razor Blades on?

You can shave everywhere from your shoulders down with the blades in this Venus razor set. Anywhere from your underarms to your legs, not to mention your toes and bikini line can be shaved with this starter pack. Gillette Venus razors, except those from our dermaplaning range, should not be used for removing unwanted facial hair, however. Stick to body hair removal.

Can I take my Gillette Venus Extra Smooth Swirl Razor and Razor Blades on a plane?

Yes, you can take the entire pack onto an aeroplane as hand luggage with you if you want. Although some razors are banned from carry-on luggage, this typically isn't the case with Gillette Venus razors supplied in a cartridge format like those in this starter pack. As such, you're free to travel with them as you see fit. Check with your air operator if you have any doubts.

Can this Gillette Venus Swirl Razor be used for both wet and dry shaving?

Even with the improved lubrication with these razor refills (compared with previous versions of Smooth Swirl cartridges), we recommend also applying shaving foam or gel to offer even more glide with each stroke. The starter pack is designed for wet shaving and even has a handy shower hanger so you can store it conveniently in the bathroom for whenever you intend shaving next.

Is the Gillette Venus Swirl Razor handle compatible with other Venus razor blade refills?

Yes, the Gillette Venus Extra Smooth Swirl Razor handle will work with many other five-bladed razors. This means you can switch out your razor heads with ease, using any that you happen to have or prefer for different shaving tasks. Please note that, due to their smaller size, Gillette Venus for Pubic Hair & Skin blades are not compatible with the Gillette Venus Extra Smooth Swirl handle, however.

Misleading main photo and main description

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

‘“Venus Extra Smooth Swirl Razor, 3 Razor Blades & Shower Hanger“ with main picture of a handle with a head, the hanger and 3 further heads very much implies one complete razor, ie handle and head, and 3 heads, not the one handle and 3 heads you actually get. The box is clear, and if you scroll far enough you’ll see the image of the box and the written description. Happy enough with the razor though I preferred the previous darker purple version, like the shower hanger, less happy about having been misled.

Left me with ingrown hairs, razor bumps and itchy skin, I’ve tried everything to get rid of it I’ve tried different types of razors from the Venus collection, I change the blades frequently but there’s nothing that stops it, I’ve changed shaving gels to see if it was something to do with that but nothing. Absolute waste of money
