Hey lovelies!

Hope you all are doing well and enjoyed the weekend! I am back with the Final update of my #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge with Gillette Venus.

I have now been using the Gillette Venus Razor since more than 4 weeks and I must say, it has definitely become one of my preferred methods of Hair Removal.


In the last 4 weeks, I haven't experienced any side effects from shaving with Gillette Venus and my skin has remained soft and smooth post shave.

Here are few benefits that I have experienced while shaving with Gillette Venus Razor :

• Portable : With a travel-friendly packaging, you can keep Gillette Venus in your bag and carry it with you anywhere and everywhere. Infact it has been my savior as I often struggled to take out time for my parlour visits, but with Gillette Venus, I know I need not hurry to visit a parlour before any important occasion or vacation. 

• Skin Friendly : I am so glad about the fact that it didn't harm my skin at all and I didn't experience any cuts or nicks ( Thanks to its strip indicator and handle with a strong grip that ensures a smooth shave). Also, I made sure I used the Gillette Shave Gel every time as I don't prefer Dry shaving which needs more caution and care.

• Time Saving : Undoubtedly it has helped me save a lot of time as I don't need to rush to a parlour every time for hair removal and takes lesser time than any other Hair removal methods.

• Value For Money : Gillette Venus razor features 3 blades that ensure a close and smooth shave in just 1 stroke and offers full value for money. I think even one razor would last me at least few more months and still works as good as a new razor.

Hey lovelies!

I am back with the third update of my #SubscribeToSmooth challenge with Gillette Venus.
As I mentioned in the last post that so far I have been having a great experience with the Gillette Venus razor and also tried to bust some Myths associated with shaving.

In today's post I will cover a few more Myths related to shaving and how my skin feels post shaving for 3 weeks.



So, a major question which is also a Myth has been asked to me by many readers and it is that Shaving our Skin causes Discoloration.

Well, after having shaved my skin thrice, I have not felt any discoloration or uneven skin tone. The skin not only remains soft and smooth, but also feels more comfortable with shaving as compared to Waxing which usually causes rashes and redness.

Therefore, you should not worry about the myth that Shaving your skin regularly might darken it.

When it comes to my third experience with the Gillete Venus razor, I shaved my skin before my Goa vacation last week and it was a smooth experience again. It effectively removed the hair without causing any pain or irritation.
Its curve hugging blades make sure that it shaves closely and really smoothly without missing any hair.


I must say though that Gillette Venus has made my life relatively easy, as I don't have to wait for a parlour visit to get rid of the unwanted hair. It's quick, easy and totally safe for the skin.

Stay tuned for my final week update of the #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge!

Hey lovelies!

I am back with the Week 2 update of my #SubscribeToSmooth challenge with Gillette Venus.
So its been two weeks since I started using the amazing Gillette Venus razor and so far I have used it twice to shave off the hair from my legs.

In today's post, I will not only be sharing my experience and how my skin feels- post two weeks of starting Shaving, but will also try to bust few myths related to Shaving.


So I usually wait for atleast 15-20 days to shave off the hair but I could see a little growth after 10 days of using Gillette Venus and I had to wear a knee-length dress for a party, which made me go for using the razor for the 2nd time.
This time as well the shaving experience was really smooth and pain-free, and the razor also removed small hairs as my hair growth is quite slow. I didn't experience any ingrown hairs or dry skin post hair removal.

Did my experience break some common Myths related to Shaving? Read on :

• Shaving regularly causes Hair to grow darker and faster - 

It is advised to use a specialized shaving cream or gel like like Satin Care lubricate to help provide a layer of protection against nicks and cuts keeping skin well hydrated. It also helps you keep track of where you've shaved to help you avoid missing any spots.

• Shaving over the same area repeatedly will give better results - 

Shaving one spot over and over will irritate skin. If you're having trouble with rough spots or stubble, it may be time to change your blade.

Do you also know of more common myths that you have heard about Shaving? Let me know in the Comments below so that I can let you know in the next post if its a Myth or Fact.

Hey everyone!

Hope you remember my last post on the Gillette Venus event and #SubscribeToSmooth challenge? I am back with my first week update on the same and also I am going to cover some precautions that one must take during shaving process.

As I already mentioned that I have undergone Laser Hair Removal for upper-lips and under-arms, I decided to go ahead with Shaving off hair from my legs first to see the results.


Before talking about the features of Gillette Venus razor and my experience with the same, here are few Do's and Dont's that you must keep in mind before Shaving -

Dos and Don’ts of Shaving

• Do stretch and shave - The underarm skin and behind your knees is supple and flexible to allow movement at these jointed areas, which can make it harder to shave as the skin moves with the razor. To keep these areas as taut as possible for a cleaner shave, stretch your arm up and reach your hand behind your shoulder, and pull your leg straight

• Don’t soak in the bath for too long before shaving - The skin will over-hydrate and swell slightly as it begins to absorb water. This will compromise the smoothness of the shave. The optimum time for a pre-shave soak is approximately one to two minutes

• Don’t apply too much pressure on your razor - A precision made female razor like Gillette Venus is designed to glide with minimum effort over the skin’s surface. Forcing the razor can end up leaving you with nicks



• Don’t worry about direction – Modern razors are so effective that you can shave in any direction that feels comfortable to you. However the hairs on our underarm area grow in random directions so for a truly clean shaven feeling you need to work in a variety of directions also

• Do leave fiddly bits until last - Ankles, back of knees and thighs are best dealt with as you get into the flow of a shave and are most in control of the razor

• Do store your razor correctly - Store your razor in an upright position and somewhere dry. Do not leave it on the bath side in pools of water as this is a breeding ground for bacteria

• Don’t rub your razor to try to clean it with brushes or towels, simple rinsing should do the job - You could blunt the blade and damage the coatings - these blades are incredibly fine and you need that coating.

So, these are some basic tips that one must keep in mind for a smooth Shaving experience.

Moving on to the new Gillette Venus razor, it has the following advanced features which make it unique and better than other razors out in the market :

• It features 3 curve-hugging blades that allow a flawless finish with virtually no missed hair.

• It has protective cushions that glide over skin very gently.

• Gillette Venus features a contoured non-slip handle that is designed  to fit perfectly in your hands, providing great control while using it in the shower.

• Its one of the unique features is that it's inbuilt with natural ingredients like Aloe and Vitamin E that leave the skin soft and smooth.

Hey lovelies!

Hope you all are doing well. A couple of weeks back I attended a Bloggers Meet organized by Gillette where they introduced us to the Gillette Venus razors range and organized an interactive panel discussion with the stunning actress Kriti Sanon along with renowned aesthetic physician Dr. Rashmi Shetty and make-up artist Namrata Soni to educate and bust myths around shaving.

During the panel discussion, the techniques of shaving were discussed and the panel vouched for shaving being one of the most hassle free and painless methods of female hair removal.



Sharing her knowledge, Dr. Rashmi Shetty said, “I am pleased to be part of this educative session, where I can interact with the audience and break the age old myths around shaving for women. Many of whom I have interacted with believe that shaving will make their skin become darker or that their hair would grow faster and thicker which is why they refrain from it.


However, in reality hair growth is determined by one’s genetic and hormonal makeup. I am confident that from platforms like these we will be able to bust such myths and impart knowledge about how shaving doesn’t cause any harm to the skin.”

About Gillette Venus
A revolutionary product, Gillette Venus gives an ultra-close shave for a smoother skin with its three curve hugging blades feature. Its contour non-slip handle is designed especially for women for great grip and control even in wet and soapy environments.


Venus razors also have an indicator lubricator strip with Aloe and Vitamin E which fade when you are no longer getting the optimal Venus experience. Satin Care shave gel when used along with Gillette Venus helps women look fantastic for important occasions and make them feel confident.


I have always preferred waxing over shaving, and have recently also undergone Laser Hair Removal for my under arms and upper lips area. But after the panel shared the various benefits of Shaving, I have decided to take the #SubscribeToSmooth - 1month challenge with Gillette Venus and would now be using it for a month to see and feel the difference.
