Advantages: Long-lasting and reasonably priced

Disadvantages: None

*Introduction*

Razors can be very expensive. I have always used Gilette Venus Embrace Razor in the past and bought the refills. I decided to try a different type of razor after I left this in Egypt when I went on holiday. It took me quite a long time and research to decide which razors to buy as I've had a number of circumstances where my legs have had a bit of a beating from me because I'd used cheap disposable versions. I was not going to make this mistake. This is why I settled on Soleil Lady 4 Pack shavers.

*The Claim*

Soleil Lady claims to deliver a flawless smooth shave without the hassle.

*About the Product*

Three blades to shave you close and a lubricating strip, formulated with aloe vera and vitamin E to gently pamper your skin.

*Application*

The application of this razor is no different to that of any other. For the best results possible you should shave during or straight after having a warm shower or bath. Using you Soleil Lady razor, you should carefully shave in the direction that your hair grows.

*Price and Availability*

Bic Soleil Lady Razors can be purchased at the price of £2.98. I think this is very cheap when you consider that some blades cost between £5 and £10 without adding to that the cost of the razor itself. And this is without sacrificing the quality of the razor that you use.

You can purchase this 4 pack of razors from a number of different stores including Boots, Superdrug and Wilkinsons. You will also find these stocked on the shelves of Tesco, Sainsbury and Asda. Alternatively you can buy it online from www.boots.com.

*My Opinion*

The packaging: These 4 razors come in a clear hard plastic packaging with an orange/yellow cardboard inset at the back of the plastic. The front of this packaging is a thin plastic cover which is also the opening of the product. Unlike some razor pack where the scissors have to come out, these razors are easily opened by pulling back the thin plastic lid where the tab states in the top corner. This opens the pack quickly and easily.

The razors: There are four razors that come in the pack. Each of these has a different colour: red, dark orange, orange and yellow. These different colour handles come in very helpful if there are 2 or more females in your house that use a razor. This will prevent you from having a mix up between whose is whose. To cover the blades you get a clear, plastic lid which if replaced after every use, will prevent you from any cuts on your fingers. The razors have three blades with a lubricating strip above which contains aloe vera and vitamin E. What I particularly like about these razors is that they have two soft grips at the top and the bottom of the razor where you cold. This means that it is comfortable for you hands and fingers to shave.

Soleil Lady razors are great for shaving your legs, underarms and lady hairs down below. They shave very effectively especially when used in conjunction with their gel.

Does Soleil Lady Razors deliver a flawless smooth shave without the hassle? Unquestionably. The razor is very simple to use and leaves you with soft, hair free skin. Exactly what you require from a razor.

Does the razor give you a close shave? It most certainly does. Once used, the razor leaves your legs feeling completely and utterly smooth and leaves you feeling ultra confident. Stubble is not something that you will encounter after using these fantastic yet inexpensive razors.

Does the lubricating strip gently pamper your skin? Yes, it really does. The lubricating strip which contains aloe vera and vitamin E is what leaves your skin feeling super soft. My legs and underarms always feel silky and pampered after use.

Longevity of the product: This will vary depending on how often it is that you shave your legs/underarm. I tend to shave every other day as my hair grows back almost straight away which is extremely frustrating. Each razor tends to last me between 3-4 months at the most. And each time I use it, it is like using a brand new razor which is fantastic.

When you have finished with the razor, you must ensure that you dispose of it properly. I tend to do this by wrapping it in an old plastic bag that is full of holes but does the job of preventing anyone who may pick up a black bag it is in from being cut.

*Would I Recommend These Razors?*

I would definitely recommend Soleil Lady razors. I've found them to be fantastic and they give me a close shave that leaves me feeling good about myself. They are superb to use whether it is for day to day use or whilst on holiday. I'll be using them for the unforeseeable future as they are great value for money and last quite a long time.

*Overall*

Bic Soleil Lady razors are the perfect compromise between quality and cost. You won't pay a lot for them but the quality in unquestionable. The set of four will probably last you for the year which I consider great value for money.

There are a number of other ranges available including Soleil Pivot razors which have a pivoting head and Soleil Scent which has lavender scented handles. If they are half as good as the Soleil Lady Razor I'm sure they are excellent as well. So if you aren't sure about Soleil Lady perhaps one of these others are the right ones for you.

Summary: Super razors that leave you feeling pampered
