Customer reviews for BIC Soleil Color Collection Women's Razors, 3 Blade, 16 ct. forPretty Nice
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before, I always used Venus razors as I found they worked relatively well and didn't irritate my skin. My skin is very sensitive so when I look for a razor, I need something that will provide a close shave while not turning my skin into a bumpy, irritated mess. I was extremely surprised when the Bic Soleil Shine did as well as my Venus. The 5 blades gave me a super close shave with little to no skin irritation. I gave this product a 4 instead of a 5 for three reasons: 1.The pivoting head" doesn't really pivot the way I'm used to with the Venus. It does move slightly
Great Value, But Not a Premium Razor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll be quite honest, I've got mixed feelings about this razor. It has a lot of great features going for it, but since I shave my legs often and have sensitive skin, it does not meet my standards for a razor, and is definitely not a premium razor as the advertising claims. At first, I loved that it came in a pack with two razors because it made me feel like I was getting more product for my money. Then later, I wondered why. Are you supposed to use one razor for each side of your body? Is one just for your armpits? Do I leave one in my shower and travel with the other one? Am I supposed to give one to a friend? I was perplexed by why there are a pair of razors. To be perfectly clear, there are two handles with a cartridge attached to each. Why would they not enclose just one handle, and two cartridges? Why do I need the extra handle? I can't remember the last time I lost a razor handle. Anyways, one handle is yellow, and one is pink, so I was thinking perhaps you're supposed to give the yellow one to your significant other and keep the pink one, but I'd imagine that would work for extremely few couples. What if yellow was my favorite color, but my partner hates pink? Confusing design and packaging aside, let's get down to what we all really care about: the experience of using this razor. When I took the razor out of the plastic protective cover and tested a small patch of arm fur out of curiosity, I was stunned by how sharp this thing was. I don't think I've ever used a drugstore brand razor that was this sharp. I was really excited at this point to use it, especially because I typically exclusively use razors with 5 blades because I believe it gives a more comfortable, closer, quicker, and smoother shave. I tested it out in the shower that night. I did my usual shaving routine to get the best results: I gently exfoliate my entire body, then use a thick, creamy shaving balm to condition and protect my skin from cuts and razor burn. I've been doing this for years, and I can't remember the last time I've ever had razor burn, cuts, or ingrown hairs with this routine. I shaved carefully, using this razor. I was amazed and impressed by how incredibly soft my legs were, and how I hadn't missed any hairs. I rinsed my body, rinsed my hair with a warm water solution with a splash of apple cider vinegar, which I've been doing for 3 years with zero problems. As I poured the mixture over my head, it splashed down my legs. Wowza. They were on FIRE! It was so painful! I hadn't realized, but the stunningly smooth shaved legs came at a cost: there were now hundreds of microcuts ALL over my legs, which stung like wild. This had never happened to me before, and the only thing that had changed from my routine was my razor. Hence, the mixed feelings. Did I continue to shave with this razor even after this happened? You bet I did. Did I try rinsing my hair again afterwards? Nope. Never again Final verdict: This razor has a lot going for it. The bright colors are fun and makes the razor easy to find in my shower caddy. It has a clean and crisp appearance. The 5 blades make this a great value, since this type of razor would typically be more expensive than those with 2, 3, or 4 blades. But there are still a lot of factors that would prevent me from purchasing this razor. For one, I dislike that it is made of flimsy plastic, it is far too lightweight for my personal preferences. I prefer a solid, durable feeling handle with some weight to it. I also dislike the experience of being covered in hundreds of tiny cuts and having itchy razor burn for an entire month. I suspect that this is because the head of the razor does not pivot or flex very much, rather, each individual blade is supposed to pivot. In theory, this should give the best, closest shave as the razor can conform to any angle or bumps on the body. However, I don't think that theory translated well to real life. I think the lack of flexibility and limited range of motion of the head of the razor as a whole, lead some of the blades to briefly angle into my skin throughout the shaving experience, causing the nicks. Two razors. 5 blades each. Great value. But an uncomfortably close shave. (In the picture, you can see the two moisturizing strips on either side of the row of blades. From my experience, I wouldn't recommend relying on these two strips to protect you from razor burn or nicks- don't dry shave with this razor!)
silky smooth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bic #SoleilShineSmooth gives you great silky close shave and head pivots with movements is a plus especially while in shower & the moisture strips with Aloe and Cocoa butter helps the razor glide over your skin. I like the color and feel of the handles especially for a disposable razor doesn't slip. I am used to 3 blades however the 5 blades seemed to help give smooth touch. Love how my skin feels after this shave!!! Thanks BzzAgent for this mission from Bic to try for free to review..
great shave
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Surprisingly the razors worked great on my sensitive skin. The blades where able to get even the prickly hairs that normally get left behind because I'm afraid to press too hard. No redness either. I will definitely be buying more.
Easy to hold, average shave
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought it was a decent shave but not as smooth as I had hoped. I also got a wicked case of razor burn, probably because I'm used to needing less shave cream than this razor seems to require. Good handle design though.
Going into month 2 with the same razor!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the same razor for over a month now, and it's still sharp! I'm still getting a great shave with no cuts. I hardly notice the difference between when I first opened the package and now! Great quality product - I can't say enough good things about it! This is definitely my new razor! Great job BIC on an outstanding product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this razor pack! It was sent to me for free to review :D I love that they're individually packaged so that my kids can't get their hands on a spare razor floating around the bathroom drawer! They gave me a close, smooth, comfortable shave! No cuts or razor bumps and it tackled the winter coat" as I like to call it. What?! Winter is all long pants! :D These were great and some come with a coupon inside for more :D"

New Fav Razor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am trying the product for free thanks to BIC�. and BzzAgent! (Thanks a million!!) In exchange for my honest review of the razor. So when I saw the brand BIC, my honest first thought was, ok? Like the Pen? and lets face it, Bic pens are the cheap ones that you buy when you need a few around the house.... So this arrived in the mail, and it looks like a nice razor. The handle is thicker than I am used to, and makes it a lot easier to hold! When I started to shave, it glided effortlessly across my skin, and took every single hair with it! Whoa!! Usually i have to take a couple passes to get them all! It was a super face shave, and my legs are super soft and smooth! I love this razor! and I think I will continue to splurge, and buy the nice ones! Thanks again BIC!
faster shave then I usually have
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pretty impressed with this razor, it cut my shave time in half id say. I can see myself buying this in the future, I got a knick here and there, nothing too bad, but obviously the blades are sharp! I love the 5 blades, I love the grip of the razor. What I would want to know before I got this razor is how long it lasts before you switch it out, I think it would hold up for a pretty long time compared to other disposable razors. I like how the blade cover is easy to remove and put back on, especially if you have a toddler that uses the same bath tub. But with the bright color of the razor which is super cute and fun, my little girl was very interested in what it was, and wanted to touch it. thank god for the blade cover!!
