Gillette Venus Embrace v. Gillette Mach3 Turbo

Let's talk legs, gorgeous gams, or whatever you want to call the length from your hip to your toe (as Julia Roberts said  in Pretty Woman).  For me, I don't shave everyday, but when I do the task still needs to be an experience.  Well, after reading information on the new Gillette Venus Embrace I decided to give it a try.  I did. 

It's nice, but does not thrill me the way the Mach 3 Turbo does. 

The Venus Embrace is catered to women, but the Mach 3 Turbo in my opinion works better.

The VE is a beautiful color, but my issue is that the four blades are too close and that the hairs get caught up in the blades.  In comparison the Mach 3 Turbo blades are larger, further apart, and cover the surface area of the leg.  I don't test many razors, but with the ones I do, I still haven't found any to compare to a man's razor. 

I know a lot of women who use men's razors because they think they are better - which they are.  In my opinion, I want you to give me something and something better than the boys get.  I want blades that do their job, an ease with handling, a workhorse razor, and sensuously smooth legs. 

Gillette if you did it for the boys, you can do it for the girls.

I love my Mach Turbo. I bought and tried the Venus shaver and ended up throwing it away (wish I hadn't bought the extra refills). The problem came when I accidentally slid the razer sideways and removed a "chunk" of my rear calf!!! Took weeks to heal and I have a terrible scar. The angle of the blades are strange and make it difficult to shave safely. I've heard this same complaint from others. Be very careful girls!

I used the Mach 3 Turbo for years because I was convinced men's razors give a closer shave. I recently switched to the women's Schick Quattro, and I'm still convinced this is true. But at least I'm not getting cuts anymore.
