[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm utterly impressed with this razor. Being a girl with thick, dark hair I find that shaving is a constant reminder of how quickly and thickly my hair grows -- because I have to shave SO often. For me, I had found that shaving just took too long and really didn't come with super smooth results like thinner hair could achieve. *enter BIC Soleil Glow razor!* There are so many things that make this razor the BEST razor for thick hair. Who would have thought that I would enjoy shaving? Not me. I can get the job done so quick and I never have cuts. Let me name a few reasons why it's truly the best... 1. Tough blades that get the job done! - This is a necessity in razors. Why are there few razors out there for a good price that actually work? I'm not sure. But what I do know is that the individual blades are thick enough to hack at the hairs, but aren't going to GRAB at them and pull and snag like cheap, useless razors do. That means extra comfort for us! You can trust in your razor that if you're running late, the nicks on your legs won't tell! 2. Thick padding on the top and bottom of the blades - This is hard to understand if you don't have the razor sitting right in front of you, but traditional razors have essentially small strips of plastic around the blades that don't serve for much protection. The Glow razors are STACKED with plastic, which makes them easier to use. Basically, the larger the razor head the less likely you are to cut yourself because it won't be turning at angles to get all the hairs AND it takes less time when the razor is larger. You can count on the head staying right where it's supposed to which brings me to my third point... 3. Oscillating head - Definitely the best point is right here. The head moves with your skin, again making it less likely that you're going to cut yourself. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would rather NOT walk out of the shower looking like your razor actually attacked your legs. The head is smooth and glides your skin without any tugging. Score! Really, this razor has changed my life. That may be a bit dramatic, but I was talking to my friend about her razors and she said she pretty much bought the cheapest razors in stores, but always was worried she missed hairs. Luckily, I had some coupons for these razors I gave her--but initially she didn't believe me that a razor could be as good as I explained! She did end up trying it for herself and was blown away like I was!! If not one but TWO girls with thick hair can be in love with a razor--then I maybe JUST MAYBE there's other girls with thick hair that can stop suffering with low quality razors too!
