Venus Razor

The Venus Razor is a type of hand held women's shaving razor manufactured by Gillette. It may include three or five blades depending on the model, and is based on the men's Mach 3 and Fusion series.http://www.gillettevenus.com/en_US/products/embrace_purple/index.jsp Though it is not the cheapest razor on the market, it has still been a commercial success.

Venus razors have either three or five blades on the replaceable cartridge, depending on the model. They also include either one or two Lubrastrips with certain versions also including a vibration feature like the Gillette Fusion Power.http://www.gillettevenus.com/en_US/products/vibrance/index.jsp A tropical line is also available that features bright colors and a scented handle.http://www.gillettevenus.com/en_US/products/tropical/index.jsp

On September 1, 2010, Gillette Venus teamed up with the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation to release a new type of razor. Called the Venus Embrace, the razor was released in mid-September and was colored pink in honor of victims of breast cancer. For every razor that was sold, 50 cents of the purchase would be donated to the NZBCF to help fund research to find a cure for breast cancer. The 50 cent donation is set to continue through mid-November of 2010.http://www.thread.co.nz/news/5367/15/Razor-awareness/d,thread-article
