With just two days until the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, Gillette Venus is proud to announce its partnership with leading U.S. Figure Skating athletes, Alysa Liu, Isabeau Levito, and Starr Andrews.

When the world is watching, smooth precision is everything. Perfectly smooth ice, precisely smooth blades… and unbelievably smooth skin. For figure skaters training and competing in the cold of Milan, smooth matters on and off the ice, the last thing an athlete needs to worry about is skin irritation from shaving.

"As someone with sensitive skin competing in cold weather, I've always trusted Venus to deliver the smoothest shave without irritation," shares Isabeau Levito, U.S. Olympic figure skater. " The Venus Extra Smooth Gold Razor keeps my skin hydrated and glowing even in harsh winter conditions, so I can perform at my best without worry."

Recognizing that elite athletes demand elite products, Venus partners with these world-class figure skaters to support them through their most important moments—on and off the ice.

"As a competitive figure skater, I need a razor I can trust completely," shares Alysa Liu, U.S. Olympic figure skater. "The Venus MoistureGlide Gold Razor gives me the smooth, precise shave I need, and knowing it's the iconic Gold Razor makes it even more special. Plus, the cushioned strip protects my sensitive skin, so I never have to compromise."

As the final countdown to Milano Cortina 2026 begins, the new Venus campaign featuring Alysa Liu launches today. To generate further excitement in the lead up to Milano Cortina 2026, Venus is also excited to introduce new Gold Razors to bring the campaign to life.

"Just like most athletes, figure skaters have rituals that start before you even step onto the ice," said Starr Andrews, U.S. figure skater. "My pre-competition routine includes my shave, and I trust Venus for that smooth, close shave without any irritation so I can focus on my performance."

"Figure skating demands precision in every movement – and that same precision matters in a great shave," shares Isabel Pimentel, Brand Vice President, Gillette Venus North America. "We're proud to support Team USA's skaters as they compete for gold at the Olympic Games, and grateful they trust Venus to be part of their daily routine, especially when it matters most."

Just as every athlete has their own routine, every woman has unique skin needs. That's why Venus offers a razor for every kind of shave:

• Gillette Venus Extra Smooth Gold Razor (Iconic Gold Razor): Designed for sensitive, irritation-prone skin, this dermatologist tested razor features sharp, durable blades for a close shave with up to 0% shave irritation.
