Product Review: Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive

To all my zebras out there, listen up! 

I was recently sent a new razor by Gillette to test out*. The Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive is targeted towards those of us who have delicate, easily irritated skin. Here's what the product page has to say about this razor:
"The perfect match for sensitive skin, experience a closer shave and less irritation* with 5 curve-hugging blades and 8 times more glide boosters. Discover why Venus is the #1 razor brand used by dermatologists.
  • Protective Ribbon of Moisture with 8 times more glide boosters and a touch of aloe for glide*
  • 5-blades spaced closer together for a close shave and reduced pressure per blade**
  • Dermatologist tested for sensitive skin
  • Easy-to-change cartridge
*vs. Venus original 3-blade razor"

Now, I could just tell you it's a good razor and leave it at that, but I'm not going to. I promised in receiving this product that I would review it truthfully. The truth? I LOVE this razor.

I took it straight out of the package and into the tub. The moisture ribbon is unscented, and it definitely does its job. All I had to do was dip it in the water and go, no shaving cream required. I got an incredibly close shave, my skin was soft, and I didn't end up with any nicks, bumps, or razor burn. If you have sensitive skin and have had bad experiences with disposable razors in the past, I urge you to give this one a try.
