Celebrate the Goddess in You with Venus Razors

Think women’s fondness for smooth, hairless skin is a recent trend? Think again. And women don’t just shave to look good; they do it to feel good.

In fact, a recent study shows a majority of women connect shaving with showing off their femininity.^a Venus gets it.

Venus believes there’s a Goddess in every woman. Who that Goddess is can be totally up to you. But Venus helps you reveal it. Your inner Goddess isn’t about what you wear or how you look. It’s about how you feel. How you act. It’s a frame of mind. A confidence that lets you charge ahead and always put your best foot forward.

So what exactly does a razor brand have to do with this inner Goddess? It’s simple. Venus understands what it takes to give you a perfect, close shave—and the confidence that comes with it. Disposable razors. Refillable razors. A Bikini Trimmer. Satin Care shave gels and moisturizers. It’s an incredible lineup that takes your skin to the Goddess level.

Venus Razors Are An Experience like no Other

Think about it: Many women (and men, for that matter) take a smooth, close shave for granted. But razors—or what you think of as razors—have only been available for a little over 100 years.

Back in the day, the so-called experts told King Camp Gillette he’d never be able to make a razor blade, but make one he did. His invention eventually led to the birth of Venus razors, which completely changed the way women shaved. And the way they felt about themselves.

In 2001, Venus introduced the original Gillette Venus razor, our first razor designed specifically for women. It featured three individually adjusting blades, plus protective cushions to guard against nicks and cuts. A rounded, pivoting head to glide over the curves of a woman’s body and an ergonomically designed handle that made it easy to maneuver around hard-to-shave spots like ankles and knees. Even though Venus has a deep heritage within the Gillette family, this was no men’s razor colored pink! Instead, it was a chance for women to feel the rush of incredibly smooth, beautiful skin.

The experts at Venus saw how great smooth legs made women feel. How they made women smile. Made women shine. And they knew the next Venus products could do even more. In 2007, Venus introduced the 2-in-1 Venus Breeze razor with built-in shave gel bars. Now women could save a few precious minutes in their beauty routines and still feel their absolute, Goddess-worthy best. They simply had to wet the razor for a light lather and smooth glide—no shave gel needed. And since the Breeze had three blades, they still got the smooth shave that helped them rise to any challenge they faced.

So was it possible to improve on what seemed like Venus razor perfection? Yes! In 2008, Gillette introduced the Venus Embrace razor. Venus Embrace featured five skin-smoothing Venus razor blades. These blades are positioned close together and surrounded by a protective Ribbon of Moisture for better glide and stunningly smooth skin. The Venus Embrace also has a SoftGrip handle that feels comfortable in a woman’s hand and gives great control, even when it’s wet. Plus, the Venus Embrace is specially designed to hug a woman’s curves and give our closest shave, so it’s Venus’ best women’s razor for bikini shaving as well.

In 2010, Venus delighted Goddesses around the world yet again by introducing a redesigned range of disposable razors, which included new Simply Venus Disposable razors for a cost-savvy consumer seeking simplicity, Venus Disposable razors in fun colors and scents featuring the original Gillette Venus razor technology, and the top-of-the-line Venus Embrace Disposable razors. With so many refillable and disposable razors to choose from, every Goddess can find a razor that’s just right for her.

2010 was also the year Venus introduced the Venus Bikini Trimmer, with a single blade encased by a protective comb on a pivoting head to deliver an easy and safe even-length bikini trimming solution. This simple tool made it easier than ever for every Goddess to look and feel bikini beautiful.

Of course, a close shave is about more than the right razor. Every Goddess deserves a smooth glide and protection from potential nicks and cuts. Fortunately, Satin Care shave gels do just that. Women can choose one of the irresistible scents or even a special shave gel formulation to help bring dry or sensitive skin to the Goddess level.
