Review (3/5): I bought this why...?
The only reason this razor works--and the only reason I rated it with even 3 stars--is because it's a Venus razor. Venus razors work excellently, so when this new version came out I was excited to try it. I've owned mine for over a year now, and was unimpressed with it from the moment I started using it.
The vibrations are useless; I get the same quality shave whether it's turned on or off. The battery lasted quite a long time, but as soon as I replaced it the razor stopped working properly (not that it mattered, since it didn't do anything in the first place). So not only do we have a "power" razor that has no power, but the company decided to charge even more for replacement razor cartridges. I thought I had to use the corresponding cartridges, but finally I inserted one of the old Venus cartridge heads and it worked exactly the same.
I don't know--maybe I'm just a no-fuss girl who really doesn't notice subtle differences in the quality of leg-shaving. I would recommend Venus brand razors in a heartbeat, but I do NOT recommend this particular version.
