Okay, can I get something off my chest here? Some of the names given to products make me roll my eyes. Take for example, the Venus Razor. You can almost hear the planning meeting on this. "Hey, so we've got to come up with a razor for women. We can't name it after a flower, because the Daisy has already been done and Schick beat us to the punch on Intuition, so let's name this after a famous woman!" Why do guys get cool words like Mach and Quattro but we get wussy names of flowers and intangible feelings?

Sorry, dudes, but judging by the screaming from my husband when I accidentally use his razor for my legs, women's leg hair is a much thornier problem than a little five o'clock shadow.

Now that I've gotten that out of my system, despite the girly eye-rolly name, the Venus Breeze has a super convenient shave gel bar surrounding the razor head so that you can just pick up the razor and go to town. It's pretty damn efficient, actually, and you have to wonder why guys aren't adopting the cream/razor combo as well. The shave gel does a decent job and is filled with lots of butters and moisturizers to keep your daisy stems from getting nicked.

My only quibble is that the gel donut thing that surrounds the razor seems to wear out faster than the razor (or maybe I rinse the blade more often than you're supposed to) and there's no way to move the product forward without breaking off the entire thing. But perhaps I don't understand how to do it because I'm just a girl (eye-roll).
