Customer reviews for BIC Soleil Color Collection Women's Razors, 3 Blade, 16 ct. forBIC� Soleil Shine? razors
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The BIC� Soleil Shine? razors are only for people that do not have sensitive legs if you do have sensitive legs then do not get these razors they are very very sharp after you use them a few times they tend to dull down but they are still extremely sharp I normally never cut my legs when I shave but these razors made me cut my legs.The only reason I liked these razors was because it was fast and easy.
Super smooth!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These razors were great!!! I feel like they stayed sharper for longer than my other razors. I was able to use them about five times before I felt like I needed to change them. I had a really hard time opening the package, though, which is something I would recommend they change. Overal I really liked these razors.
Truly a Neutral Razor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been shaving with the BIC Soleil Shine now for 3 days and, compared to the two other razors in my cupboard, I'm unimpressed. While there's nothing horrible or irritating about this razor, there's also nothing remarkable that would compel me to purchase it exclusively. The two disposable razors I use the most often are the Gillette Venus and my husband's Gillette Mach 3. To keep from rambling, I'll cut it to you straight. Was it comfortable? Yes. More comfortable than either Gillette? No. Did it give me a close shave? Yes. Closer than either of my other two razors? Yes and no. It was comparable to the Venus and a smidge better than the men's Mach 3. I'm basing this on the amount of stubble the day after shaving. I typically have to shave daily. With the BIC Soleil Shine, I stayed smoother a bit longer, but only by half of a day, I'd say. Did the pivoting head make a huge difference? Maybe compared to a man's disposable razor - getting under and over the knee was easier than with the Mach 3 but similar to the Venus action. The pivoting head wasn't anything I was blown over by, though, because the Venus pivots as well. I think that's more typical of a woman's razor. Did the five blades made a difference? Again, I think the shave was as comfortable and close as any other disposable razor I've tried. Did the conditioning strip make a huge difference? It IS conditioning, but on the second day, it had worn down enough that my skin was stinging while shaving (wet) and the strip wasn't helping. I suppose if you toss the razor after each shave, it's an awesome conditioning strip, but I think most people prefer to use for a week or so before tossing. The packaging was adorable... but I can't say I would buy a product based on the packaging if the function is no better or worse than its competitors. Would I buy more BIC Soleil Shine Razors? Maybe. I wouldn't avoid them intentionally. They're more expensive than both of my current choices, though, so they won't be my first pick. *I've attached a close up of my calf about 30 hours after shaving.
Quality product at an affordable price
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that BIC Soleil are disposable so that the price is affordable, but yet it is very quality brand. It keeps my legs super smooth with the 5 razor sharp blades! I love the feel of the handle is the perfect angle for shaving legs.
I like it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I normally use a 3 or 4 blade razor and i recently got this in the mail and thought i'd try the 5 blade. I don't shave my legs more than once a week or so, and this made it easy to do. I like them. I will keep buying if I can get coupons! They were especially nice on the underarms. It was smooth and I only had to make one pass! That's really nice so I don't end up with irritated skin.
You must try it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before getting this razor I wondered if it was any good. I thought it was just like an other razor I had purchased in the past. I would want to know if it was any good before spending any money on it. I think that the 5 blades on the razor is a great addition! It makes shaving much more easier. The bright colors are a bonus. The BIC Soleil Shine razor is a new razor. If you haven't tried it, you must. It makes your legs smooth and soft when you are done using it.
My skin is spoiled now, I'm never going back!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After years of using cheap twin blade disposable razors, I was skeptical of the Bic Soleil Shine. I don't tend to spend money on products like razors... because I put myself last on a long list of priorities, and I usually don't have money to spare on luxuries like beauty products and razors. It took me several days to learn not to over shave, since shaving as usual would tend to be an over kill with a 5 blade razor. Now that I've figured that out, I am saving tons of time. The moisture strips didn't irritate my eczema, and overall my legs have never been softer. I am sincerely thrilled with this product. Thank you BIC! Thank you BzzAgent! If it weren't for this campaign I would have never known what I was missing!!!
Give these razors a try!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always been a fan of the BIC company, so I was excited when I was able to try these new razors. Let me start by saying that the colors are so fun and bright! They make you excited to shave! These razors also have 5 blades that work very well. They are sharp so they get every single hair. There are also moisturizing strips on the blades which is very important because it helps keep your legs smooth and also prevents accidentally cutting yourself. I also love the rubber grip because I am known to always drop my razors during shaving which is a pain in the butt! I would definitely recommend these razors to everyone!
Best disposable razor I've used
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used BIC's other disposable razors before and thought that they did a pretty good job for a disposable razor. For the last year, I've been using a Schick Quattro and haven't bought any more Soleil products. Ever since I first shaved with this razor, I've been hooked. The five blades and moisturizing strip have made this razor feel like an expensive, non-disposable razor. I can tell a big difference in the quality just between the other BIC products versus this razor. I've never had any cuts or razor bumps, and it always leaves me with a smooth shave. My Schick Quattro now sits unused.
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!)
