This Really Works: Gillette Venus Swirl Razor

Shavers are fiercely loyal to their razors, and it seems the search for the right one is akin to dating: you have to get hurt by a lot of dull, senseless suitors to find the right match, unto which you pledge undying loyalty. And even with the right razor, we must twist and maneuver our bodies into bizarre positions to avoid injury. Thankfully, after a recent discovery I can report that hair removal contortionism can come to an end: the Gillette Venus Swirl Razor ($8) is here.

The geniuses over at Gillette have created a flexible ball technology (called FLEXIBALL™, go figure) that allows the blades to move over the skin while adjusting to raised areas and curves. Paired with five individually adjusting blades and a water-activated serum strip around them, it simply glides over humps, bumps, knobs and angles. It also has a non-slip rubber grip handle. No more shower yoga. No more Bath du Soleil.

As one shaving gal to another, I have to say that my search is finally over. Other razors can consider themselves dumped; my shaving soul mate just arrived.
