You love the feeling of soft, smooth skin, but shaving can sometimes make your skin dull and dry. Only the new Venus & Olay razor combines Venus' best shaving technology and Olay's skin expertise all in one.

Olay Moisture Bars help lock in moisture to your skin for less dryness, while Venus' five blades shave you close with every smoothing stroke.

The Venus & Olay razor boosts your shave and helps lock in moisture so you can enjoy ultra-smooth, beautiful skin. It’s the only razor designed with Venus’ love for smooth legs and Olay’s passion for skin care.   Venus products are designed to fit all lifestyles, whether you seek the perfect shave or an indulging and pampering experience. Venus encourages all women to reveal their inner Goddess, making them feel sexy, confident and carefree.
 

The latest release from Gillette which brings together the top name of Gillette with the equally brilliant name of Olay. 
 
The razor gives a clean shave, first time with its five blades (not sure if there really needs to be this many, but they give a perfect shave first time) which is moisturised simultaneously with the Olay products which surround the blades.
 
There are only two negatives which I found with this product - the cost of the replacement blades (£20.49 for six blade 'units') and also the stand which the razor sits in while not in use. It is something which attaches, via suction cups, to tiled walls in a vertical position. I must admit that I prefer the little stands which Gillette razors used to have, where the replacement blade units could be stored underneath in a little box. I prefer not to leave my razor on the wall in the shower cubicle as I have children!
 
In summary, I would say that it is a great razor which gives a great shave, first time, and needs no extra products either before or after the shave, but has expensive refills and an okay, but not the best, storage stand.
 
I received this razor through the Amazon Vine Programme.
