⚡ At a Glance
- • Cutting Quality: Close, consistent shave across limbs and curves
- • Best for: Women wanting a close, comfortable shave, including tricky areas
- • Not ideal for: Users who require Simply Venus or Venus Pubic Hair and Skin specific systems
Five durable blades and an adaptive flexiball head aim to keep blades aligned with body contours. A water-activated ribbon of moisture helps guard skin against nicks and cuts.
Long-lasting smoothness – with five durable blades
Five blades sit closely together, with a diamond-like coating that cuts hair closely while helping blade edges stay effective. The close spacing reduces the need for multiple passes across the same area.
A closer trim in fewer strokes delivers smoother skin for longer, reducing time spent shaving.
Better contact on curves – thanks to the built-in flexiball
A flexiball mechanism allows the head to pivot and adapt fluidly to body contours, maintaining razor-to-skin alignment even around challenging areas such as ankles. The adaptive geometry increases blade contact on uneven surfaces.
Improved reach and consistent contact mean fewer missed hairs and a more even shave on knees and ankles.
Softer shave, fewer nicks – with water-activated lubrication ribbon
A water-activated ribbon of moisture forms a lubricating strip when wet, lowering friction between skin and blades. The strip helps the blades glide while providing a protective layer during each stroke.
Reduced irritation and a gentler glide make shower shaving more comfortable and lower the risk of cuts.
