I enjoy a good shaving experience - and switched from another well-known brand I have used for years to the new Gillette Labs.(Not cheap - $45 with… Read more
two blades) I always use a shave cream with black carbon. In spite of initial reservations, I am pleasantly surprised - the closest shave (without any skin irritation) I have experienced (from a home use product). I expect the blades to last well (we'll see) - however, I can confidently recommend this razor.
Snip snip – Great product. Comes with additional attachments and battery powered. Also small so is easy to take anywhere you need. Would be great if they had a case for it to go in.
Quality of Gillette is now VERY POOR. They have lost a customer who has been loyal for over 50 years.
Gillette Venus Original
I always had trouble with shaving, but when I used venus, it was amazing. Just one swipe and it’s cleaned, so irritation, no small cuts or anything like that. It was a clean and easy to use. I was so excited and I love it!
What a surprise! – Purchased this Rasor a month ago, as I was annoyed at continually spending $9.00 for 4 Multi Blades for shaving. Typically a disposable multi-blade… Read more
will last 3-4 shaves and thats it! Bought the Rasor, a pack of 10 Blades (non-propiretary), a Badger Hair brush and some shave soap and a bowl, $82.00 all up. It requires a different approach than to disposable blade shaving and takes a little longer, 5-7 minutes. However, the results are worth it! I much prefer this method of shaving as it is more satisfying, no pulling or rough bits on the face skin, no rashes and after three passes I'm done and just as good a shave as a multi-blade rasor. Technique comes with use and there are videos (believe it or not!), showing you the correct method to get the most out of the Rasor. Also way better than an Electric shaver which are also costly to run, about the same as disposable Blades. It's also a bit "Old-school". So I get around 12 comparable shaves out of one blade $1.20 or ten cents per shave. I dismantle, clean the rasor after use with toilet paper, ready for the next shave. I think this is the key to longevity of the blade. I'm happy so I thought I would share this as some people may be a little apprehensive about making such a move.

Not a bad option – I was surprised using these razors I get 3 to 4 shaves per razor for $12 with 10 cartridges from Coles This razor is worth a try as razors getting very costly here in Australia
I have used Gillette razors for decades and have always found them to be very good in the past. However, my razor finally died and I purchased the… Read more
Gillette Fusion 5 razor pack with 10 refill blades in June 2025. I noticed the colour of the blades was different. On trying them, they felt blunt, I had to go over the growth a number of times changing direction each time. I tried some of my other blades I still had left and they felt a lot sharper and shaved a lot cleaner and lasted longer. After finishing off my old stock, I perservered with the new ones and found I was having to change blades at least weekly - less than 7 shaves a blade. I feel the quality is at least as bad as the Temu knock offs I tried once but I figure if this is the new Gillette quality, then I might as well buy from Temu at 25% of the cost. Very disappointed
Fantastic shaver – Fantastic shaver with 5 blades that shave quite comfortably, accurately & smoothly. This shaver is similar to the Schick hydro 5. A single blade will last at least 4 months. But avoid the Phillips one blade shaver.
Not good – This shaver doesn't shave comfortably and accurately. For example when I came to use the first new blades on my face, I could feel the hair being pulled. I don't even have a stumble. I highly recommend the Schick hydro 3 & 5 instead.
Avoid – Don't bother buying this is you want replacement clipper guards. You can't get them. Confirmed directly with gillette. They are flimsy and they will break.
The Gillette Shaving Foam is nice. However, the Net Contents of 418g given is wrong and misleading. Photo attached. 33% of 280 is 92.4 and Not… Read more
138. It has taken 33% of 418 (137.94). So in effect counted 33% wrongly. Very misleading indeed!!
Correct Version should be (280g + 92g FREE). Net Contents: 372g
Example of the Correct version of Park Avenue Shaving Cream is shown in the photo attached. 30% of 70 = 21. So Net Weight is 70+21 =91g.
Nice and unobtrusive! – My go to after shave splash from a company that knows its business. A nice choice for a mid-aged gent who likes a youthful scent that's not too… Read more
overtly masculine. Simple; but not cooling or overbearing. Stings a bit but am ok with that as doing its job. For me dislikes; only 50ml, too wide opening. Upon empty, more than a few ml remaining which I can't use no matter how hard I try. 100ml please! As of writing bought two for $9.60 at Woolworths.
Gillette Venus Sensitive
Change of design of blade – Have used these for years. The blade head design had now changed. Ended up with a cut more than 3" long on the back of my leg. I feel the little metal bands on the edge of the blades may be the cause. I have posted a photo of my old & new razor
Gillette you are still in 18th century… – They are promoting the product in a Recyclable Box, but using way more resources than required. Packaging more than double the size of actual… Read more
product. Inner packaging not required at all and outer packaging can be made smaller. Absolutely shocking marketing tactics. Show some respect to the TREES. Just because you are using recycle material doesn’t mean you can misuse. The machines which are making cardboards and ink are still harming environment. They are using non renewable power sources.
