Venus Razors






Venus Razors

             Even in the modern world, Greek/Roman mythology is seen everywhere in places you would least expect it. Roman/Greek mythology is seen in brands, movies, shows, books, etc. One brand where mythology is shown is Venus Razors. Venus is a Roman goddess known for love, desire, beauty, and fertility. In Greek mythology, Venus is known as Aphrodite, but Venus has more abilities than Aphrodite had. One thing Venus is was known for was her natural beauty so she was frequently seen naked in a lot of artwork and sculptures. The sub-brand Venus Razors that sells razors and shaving cream was founded in 2001. Venus razors are part of a larger brand called Gillette that sells razors for men, while Venus is specifically for women. I believe this is a good name for the brand for many reasons. One being the brand's slogan is "my skin. my way". The goddess Venus was known for showing a lot of skin for natural beauty, and one thing this brand is about is showing your natural beauty and feeling good in your skin. Another reason why I believe this brand was given an appropriate name is how you can custom a razor to your body. With Gilette's brand, the razors come in one shape that's not meant for different bodies. Venus razors are specially made for women's bodies to "hug the curves in all the right places" as their website states. These are all reasons Venus was a perfect name choice for the women's razor brand.
