Get Gams Beach-Ready with Gillette Venus Embrace

While I've got summer on the brain (it's going to hit 104° next week), I thought I'd share yet another of my budget beauty essentials: a great razor for smooth, touchable legs! Fortunately, I've found one that fits my needs... the Gillette Venus.

I've actually been using this razor for years, starting with the original aqua blue model. Back then, it featured three blades and a unique, curve-fitting design and protective cushions for a nick-free shave.

Enter the Venus Embrace, big sister of the original Venus. The blade count has now been upgraded to five for an even closer shave, it's available in new, eye-catching colors, and features two ribbons of moisture for softer skin than ever before!

Better yet, its soft grip handle makes shaving easy and safe while the unique contour-hugging design prevents nicks and those little "oops" moments that happen around hard-to-reach and curvy areas like ankles, knees, and... well, you get the point.

The Venus Embrace also comes with a cool shower pod, which includes suction cups that let you stick it wherever your little heart desires, and an extra cartridge to store inside! (It opens up like a little shelf for your razor heads - very cute and convenient). I like this razor so much that I keep two around; one serves as back-up.

Find the Gillette Venus Embrace at mass retailers, drugstores, and beauty stores like ULTA for around $12.99.
