Gillette Body Razor

[wutwutman]

Have you tried it yet?  I saw the commercial and that kind of peaked my interest, then I saw them in Walmart so I was like, eh why not?

First of all, the Gillette Body is really just a re-colored Venus razor, with a slightly altered handle.  Which isn't necessarily a bad thing as the Venus razor is really easy to maneuver. It's a 3 blade rounded edge cartridge with 3 lube strips.

First shave - really really smooth, close shave!  And it was a really quick shave.  Areas that I normally have to go over a couple times or more, were smooth on the first-second pass, which is crazy as I typically use a 4 or 5 blade razor. The handle is very easy to grip even wet. There is a lot of pivot.  I can't be for sure but it seemed like there was more pivot than in the Fusion or the Hydro.  When I get more of them I'll compare and update this review.  I got the disposable version so the replaceable version might be slightly different performance.

Cost wise its about the same as the Fusion.  I'm going to keep using it for a week or two and see if i still like them.

Did you try it on your dome?  A lot of guys like the Venus to shave their head with.

I thought he was on about how it shaved his dome?

Wrong...think about it.

I was totally talking about my experience shaving the dome with it LOL  I guess I should have been more specific

But anyway, used it again this morning with the same results.  Very close shave. Very minimal having to go over areas.  Took very little effort at all.  I got a 2-pack of the disposable version for like 7.99 so I'm going to use them for about two week.  A week on each cart.

I'm currently not in a Sly period, but I've tried this razor on arms, chest ad "junk" and it really is a much better shave than my usual Fusion Power. Especially in the trouble spots that are usually hard to get cleanly shaved. I tried it out of curiosity and was pretty surprised at the difference

Would you say it is better than the Fusion/

[wutwutman]

At this point, yes I would say it shaves better than the Fusion, and probably "as good as my Hydro."

Loving the funky handle lol

May give one a try. Cheers

Always pays to check in with you guys before I purchase a new shaving product. I saw an ad for the body razor a couple of days ago and since that time I was wondering how well it performs when it comes to the noggin...

Is the Gillette Body Razor still holding up?

[wutwutman]

I've actually since switched to DE shaving but yes, I liked the Gillette Body the most out of all of the cart razors.  I still have a couple I'm keeping for backup.  Also as much as I loved my Headblade ATX, I have to say the Body got a closer shave.

Cant find it in the UK

Nice product it does wonders for the head. The actual lightness of the razor made me a little nervous at first but so far no product has never shaved my head so closely.
