    Advantages Advantages Leaves skin feeling soft and makes shaving easy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I try to stick to waxing my legs so they will stay hair free longer but more often than not I will give in and reach for my trusty old razor (that's trusty and not rusty). My legs can be quite sensitive when shaving them and I do end up suffering with a slightly uncomfortable rash so using the right kind of lubricant is essential. My husband uses baby oil on his beard as he says this not only gives him a smooth shave but moisturises his skin at the same time, but I find it far too messy on my legs so try to stick to using creams or gels. I do like Gillette, but find their prices can be steep ... more

    Advantages Advantages Small sized canister, easy to use, works quite well..

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A bit overpriced in some places...

    I first came across the Gillette Satin Care Radiant Apricot Shaving Gel at the start of the year when I was buying a few toiletries and cosmetics for a week-long holiday. As we had a sort of limited luggage allowance, I was aware of buying large, bulky bottles and canisters of lotions and toiletries and the small travel-sized canister of the Gillette shaving gel stood out to me whilst I was browsing in a local (independent) grocery store. I paid only around 90 pence for the small sized (75ml) canister at the time, but I have seen a larger version of the same product available to buy in some ... more

    4 Stars Apricot Gel? Just Peachy! Review with images 06/03/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages works well, good lather from small amount of foam

    Disadvantages Disadvantages smell has a chemical undertone to it

    I must admit that about 90% of the time I shave my legs and underarms using whatever shower gel, body wash or even bar of soap that I have on the go at the time. I do occasionally buy shaving gel though, and favour Bic Soleil for its incredibly yummy smell. As I'm now trying to save a few pennies, my last purchase was made in discount store Bodycare, where the limited choice ran to three types of Gilette gel. After a quick look at all three cans, I decided on the apricot, simply as I thought it would smell better than the other two varieties on offer. ~Packaging~ The can this is presented in ... more

    Advantages Advantages Pretty fruity smell, leaves legs smooth & allows for a close shave, non-irritating to my skin

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None for me

    I tend to opt for shaving my legs, and sometimes other areas too out of convenience and price. I recently reviewed the Gillette Hydro 5 that I've started using; just because I'm using a guy's razor doesn't mean I want to smell like a guy, so the Radiant Apricot gets my vote for a pleasant feminine scent and smooth legs. Plus, I've received the compliment of 'mmm, your legs smell nice!' from the boyfriend, so he likes it! Gillette is a very reputable and popular brand when it comes to 'grooming', with an ever increasing range of razors and gels. Their Satin Care range of shave gels is one I ... more

    Advantages Advantages Leaves your legs lovely and smooth and has a delicious smell

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive

    Throughout the years I've been shaving, I must've tried about 50 different shaving products at least! Having only been employed a year and before that I was a student, I was on a small budget for a long time of this 'research'! Finding cheap shaving products is practically non-existent, and if on a rare occasion you do come across a bargain, chances are the razors you've brought are blunt or only last one use, or the shaving gel you've purchased doesn't protect your delicate skin from the wrath of the aforementioned blunt razor! I knew Gilette was a good name having seen the brand around ... more

    Advantages Advantages does work well

    Disadvantages Disadvantages strong smell

    Gillette Satin Care Shaving Gel – Apricot Having reverted back to my razor blade from the banished to the drawer epilatior, I tend to buy shaving gel/foam to go along with using the razor. I shouldn't have to really as my Gillette razor blade claims to be a 2 in 1 and you don't need shaving gel but I like to have a nice thick layer of a foam n my legs to give them that extra bit of protection. It seems I have had this particular can of Gillette Shaving Gel for ages as a little bit of the gel squirted out seems to froth up to a large amount which means a little goes a long way and a 200ml can ... more

    Advantages Advantages Lovely smell, works well

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    Ever since I received a free bottle of Satin Care shaving gel from Boots as I bought a razor I think I have become hooked. I never really used shave gel in the past as I thought it was a bit of a waste of money but obviously this marketing ploy by Gillette satin care has worked as now I am an avid purchaser and love trying all the different flavours as I call them, in the range. The first bottle I got was the avocado which was great but this last time I decided to try the radiant apricot. I loved the sound of the name even before I had smelled the scent, radiant, it con jours up all images of ... more

    Advantages Advantages nice smell, foams well, gives close shave

    Disadvantages Disadvantages quite expensive

    I only really buy shaving gels once in a while (usually when I can pick them up on an offer) as I see them as a luxury item, generally making do with my usual shower gel when shaving. I picked up this radiant apricot variety of shave gel from the Gillette satin care range for a little over £1 on offer (usual price around £2.50) as a treat for myself and wasn't disappointed. THE GEL Gillette is probably the brand that people would associate with shaving most, so I had high expectations for this product. The gel came in a pressurised metal can which had pink and orange swirled all over, it ... more

    Advantages Advantages smooth legs, cheap product

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I cannot shave my legs without a good gel to smooth on first. I find that without a gel they just don't get as smooth! I haven't got a particular brand that I love, I do usually go for the cheaper brands but this is one of my favourites when I have a bit of money to spare. Cheap shaving products (even razors) can be hard to find in good quality. Tesco are often quite good and I shall be reviewing them soon. This product is one that a friend recommended to me on holiday, I used it once and I am now addicted - maybe something to do with my legs being tanned at the time! The gel is often on offer ... more
