The Paralympic Games begin tomorrow, and Gillette Venus is proud to continue our support of swimmers as they take on the world stage.   For Paris 2024 we've partnered with Anastasia Pagonis, an incredible blind, gold medal-winning Paralympic swimmer for Team USA. She embodies the spirit of our campaign, "The Power of Smooth," through her strength and resilience.   In our commitment to inclusivity, we're also thrilled to announce a new partnership between Venus and Be My Eyes. This collaboration connects blind and low-vision individuals seeking sighted assistance with volunteers and companies worldwide. Now, anyone with questions about our razors can directly connect with our dedicated team through this platform, ensuring they receive the support they need.
