A guide to the Gillette Venus Smooth razor and its 12 blades

The Gillette Venus Smooth Razor combines a reusable, non-slip handle with 12 replacement blades for a convenient close shave. Each blade has three sharp blades and a SkinCushion glide strip with plant oils to help protect sensitive skin from shaving irritation. Its pivoting head follows smaller areas, making it a practical choice for everyday shaving. The blades are designed to last up to 30 days and fit Venus handles, except Simply Venus and Venus Intimate models.

How to Choose the Right Women's Razors

Choosing a razor depends on your skin, the areas you want to shave and how often you are happy to replace blades. Compare the handle, blade system and ongoing cost to find a practical option for your routine.

Key Features to Consider

Check these essentials before choosing a women's razor, or Damenrasierer, for everyday use:

  • Blade system and refills: Decide whether you prefer a disposable razor or a reusable handle with replacement cartridges. Before buying, check that compatible blades are easy to find in Germany and compare their ongoing cost.
  • Skin comfort: If your skin is prone to irritation, look for features such as a lubricating strip and a pivoting head that can follow body contours. Use a fresh, clean blade and avoid pressing hard, as a razor's features alone cannot prevent irritation.
  • Handle, grip and upkeep: Choose a handle that feels secure when wet and is comfortable to manoeuvre around knees and ankles. A design that is easy to rinse and dry can make regular cleaning simpler and help you spot when a blade needs replacing.

A Smoother Shave, Ready for Every Routine

A Reusable Handle with a Nimble Pivoting Head

Make shaving a comfortable, easy-to-handle part of your routine with the reusable, non-slip handle. Its secure grip gives you control as you shave, while the compact pivoting head follows smaller areas for a close shave. The flexible head and considered handle design work together to help the razor move smoothly across your skin. When it is time for a fresh blade, simply refresh the handle with one of the included replacements, keeping your favourite grip in use.

Three Sharp Blades and a SkinCushion Glide Strip

Each replacement blade features three sharp blades to help deliver a close, smooth shave. A SkinCushion glide strip with plant oils helps the razor glide across skin and helps protect sensitive skin from shaving irritation, bringing extra care to your shaving routine. Together, the blades and glide strip are designed to make each pass feel smooth and comfortable. It is a thoughtful combination for everyday grooming and for areas where a close, carefully guided shave is welcome.

12 Replacement Blades for a Ready-to-Go Routine

With 12 replacement blades included, you have a convenient supply ready for future shaves. Each blade is designed to last up to 30 days, helping you plan your routine and refresh the razor when it suits you. Keep the reusable handle in your bathroom and fit a replacement blade whenever you are ready for a fresh shave. The blades fit Venus handles, while Simply Venus and Venus Intimate models use their corresponding blade formats, so you can choose the right fit for your handle.

Gillette Venus Smooth Razor: Who It Suits

For a Close Shave in Your Routine

If you want a close shave as part of your regular routine, the three sharp blades give you a close shave while the glide strip helps the razor move smoothly over your skin, leaving you with a close finish for everyday grooming.

For Skin Prone to Shaving Irritation

When shaving tends to leave your skin irritated, the SkinCushion glide strip with plant oils helps protect sensitive skin from shaving irritation, so shaving feels more comfortable.

For Shaving Smaller Areas

If your shaving routine includes smaller areas, the compact pivoting head follows them as you shave, helping you manoeuvre around those areas for a more controlled finish.

For Keeping Your Razor Handle

If you prefer to replace blades rather than the whole razor, keep the reusable handle and swap in one of the 12 replacement blades; each is designed to last up to 30 days, so you can keep shaving without replacing the handle.
