this razor may not have the “fancy” stuff the venus razors have, but it makes it better! Because it's a simple flat head the blades get a closer shave. It's also SO easy to clean. The venus razors get hair stuck in them to easily while the joy razor is so easy to clean. I don know can have to swish it around in water. A rinse is all I need to clean it. I'm never going back to venus.
