Gillette Venus Extra Smooth Women's 5-Blade Razor Refills, 4 Count — Moisture Ribbon & Pivoting Head

Gillette Venus Extra Smooth replacement blades are 5-blade cartridge refills engineered for a close, controlled shave that follows your body's curves.

These Gillette Venus razor blade refills are designed for women who want a smoother shave with fewer strokes. Each cartridge features five diamond-like coated blades plus a water-activated moisturizing ribbon to help the razor glide across skin, and a pivoting head that adjusts to ankles, knees and other curves. The refills fit most Venus handles (excluding Simply Venus and the Venus Pubic Hair Razor), so you can refresh performance without buying a new handle.

How do these blades deliver a closer shave than 3-blade cartridges?

The Extra Smooth cartridges increase blade count to reduce pressure per blade and capture more hairs in a single pass, which can result in a closer finish and longer smoothness between shaves. The diamond-like coating helps blades stay sharp and maintain glide.

• Five closely spaced blades for more contact per stroke
• Diamond-like coated blades for durability and smoother cutting
• Moisture ribbon that activates with water to help the razor glide

How long will one blade refill last in regular use?

Blade life depends on hair type and shaving frequency, but the manufacturer estimates up to one month of use based on shaving twice weekly. Replace the cartridge when you notice less glide, increased tugging, or visible wear on the blades.

• Estimated life: about one month at two shaves per week
• Replace when glide decreases or blades show wear
• Indicator: moisture strip fading or uneven cutting performance

Will these refills fit my current Venus handle?

Most Venus blade refills are compatible with a wide range of Venus handles, so you can upgrade blade performance without buying a new handle. Exceptions include Simply Venus and the Venus Pubic Hair Razor, which require their specific cartridges.

• Compatible with most Venus handles for easy swapping
• Not compatible with Simply Venus or Venus Pubic Hair Razor
• Snap-on design for quick cartridge changes

What features help prevent nicks and provide a smoother glide?

The blades combine a pivoting head and a water-activated moisture ribbon to follow contours and reduce friction. These features work together so fewer passes are needed, helping to minimize irritation when used with proper shaving technique.

• Pivoting head adjusts to ankles, knees and curves
• Water-activated ribbon of moisture reduces friction
• Close blade spacing reduces need for repeated strokes

Who is this for? These Gillette Venus Extra Smooth 4-count replacement cartridges are ideal for women seeking a closer, longer-lasting shave without changing their existing compatible Venus handle. They suit people who prefer a wet shave with smooth glide, want to reduce the number of passes per area, and value easy cartridge swaps. If you need a replacement for Simply Venus or the Venus Pubic Hair Razor, check those specific refills instead; otherwise, these cartridges offer an easy upgrade for a touchably smooth result.
