Everyone has their routine when it comes to skincare. The things they do in the morning, the things they do before bed, etc. I’ve noticed that there’s one thing I tend to leave out my routine and that’s shaving. It’s not that I don’t shave – but the truth is, I’m definitely more of an “occasion” shaver. If I know I’m going to be in a bikini or short or dress, I shave. If I don’t have those plans in place, I’ll be honest, I go a few extra days without it.

I’m trying to make it more of a routine thing to avoid that rush of a quick shave (no one like knicks or bumps #amiright) and that just got a whole lot easier.  I’ve always been a fan of the Gillette Venus Razor but when I heard about their newest service, I became hooked. With the of Venus Direct, you can choose a custom handle, razor heads and extra features that are uniquely designed for and by you. With one simple shave plan, you get your choice of stylish, high quality razors delivered to your door when you want them. Talk about ease.

There are four types of handles to choose from: Original, Extra Smooth, Swirl and Platinum. I have the Extra Smooth and absolutely love it. There are also four different blades to choose from:

  • Original – three spring mounted blades, lubrication strip and rounded cartridge that fits all Venus handles
  • White Tea – three blades and flexible moisture bars with built-in body butter and a white tea scent
  • Extra Smooth – five spring mounted blades, ribbon of moisture, advanced skin guard & rounded cartridge that fits all Venus handles
  • Olay Moisture – five blades and flexible moisture bars with built-in body butter and added Olay moisture. This is the one I am using and love the built in body butter. Such a great moisturizing product!
