Gillette Venus Extra Smooth Razor Blade Refills 4 Count — 5-Blade Cartridges with Moisturizing Strip

Gillette Venus Extra Smooth blade refills are a four-pack of five-blade cartridges made to deliver a close, comfortable shave that adapts to your body’s curves.

These Venus replacement cartridges are engineered for women who want a closer, longer-lasting smoothness without changing their razor handle. Each cartridge pairs five finely coated blades with a water-activated moisturizing strip and a pivoting head so strokes glide easily over ankles, knees, and other contours. The refills fit most Venus handles (except Simply Venus and the Venus Pubic Hair Razor), so you can refresh performance without buying a new grip.

How do these cartridges produce a closer shave than three-blade options?

The Extra Smooth refills use five ultra-thin blades coated for durability, which lets each stroke cut hair nearer to skin while distributing pressure for a balanced glide. That combination reduces the number of passes needed and helps maintain smoothness between shaves.

• Five diamond-like coated blades for close cutting
• Thin blade geometry to reduce tugging
• Fewer strokes required compared with three-blade models

Will the cartridges protect against nicks and irritation?

Yes — the cartridges include a water-activated ribbon that releases a moisturizing glide, helping the razor move smoothly and minimizing friction. The pivoting head also keeps blades aligned to body curves, which reduces awkward angles and the risk of cuts.

• Water-activated moisture strip for a smooth glide
• Pivoting head follows curves to reduce pressure points
• Blade coatings for consistent performance and less skin stress

How long does one cartridge last and how do I know when to replace it?

Under typical use — about twice a week — each refill can last up to one month. Replace the cartridge when you notice more pulls, discomfort, or decreased glide to maintain an effective, comfortable shave.

• Estimated life: up to one month per cartridge at twice-weekly shaves
• Replace when blades feel dull, tug, or cause irritation
• Refills are compatible with most Venus handles to swap quickly

Can I use these cartridges with my existing Venus handle?

Most Venus blade refills are compatible with the full range of Venus handles, so you can upgrade blade performance without buying a new handle. The only exceptions are the Simply Venus and the Venus Pubic Hair Razor, which use different fittings.

• Fits most Venus handles for easy replacement
• Not compatible with Simply Venus or Venus Pubic Hair Razor
• Quick snap-on design makes cartridge swaps simple

Who this product is for: If you want a closer shave with fewer passes, smoother glide on curves, and the convenience of replacing cartridges rather than buying a whole new razor, the Gillette Venus Extra Smooth 4-count refills are designed for you. They suit people who shave regularly and prefer a reliable, long-lasting cartridge compatible with their current Venus handle.
