New Fave Razor? BIC® Soleil® Savvy™

As a BzzAgent I received a free BIC Soliel Savvy and I am now a big fan of this disposable razor. It has everything you need in a razor and won't break the bank! Which is a good thing because I'm not being paid for this review. ;)

I had been using the cheapest disposable razors you can get. I was in a pinch and just grabbed them and, not wanting them to go to waste, used all of them in the package. I noticed a HUGE difference when I started using the Soliel Savvy. It left my legs feeling so silky smooth that I kept touching my legs all day. I was so impressed!  

It comes with 4 replacement heads, which means you're not throwing an entire razor away every time you need new blades. That means less waste! But since it IS a disposable razor, once you've used the 4 blades in the package you have to buy another razor with 4 blades. You can't just buy more replacements. That's the only disappointing thing about this product. It retails for under $8 though so buying a new razor and blades still works out to a great buy.

About those blades.It's a triple blade system with a moisturizing strip. Whereas a lot of those strips on disposable blades dry out and flake off after a couple (or one) use, I have not had that happen on any of the 4 blades I used with the Soliel Savvy. The blades give a REALLY close shave too. I don't have very thick hair on my legs but I really cannot stand stubble in the summer, so I usually shave everyday to make sure my legs are totally smooth, but with the Soliel I was able to cut that down to only once every other day. The blades are flexible too, so that really helps prevent nicks and cuts. I had no problems in that department when using this razor, but I'm usually really careful, which is, of course, really important. 
I used each blade for 2 weeks. At the end of the second week the results weren't quite as fantastic but they were still pretty good and better than what I was used to and none of the blades rusted in those two weeks.

I personally really love the handle on this razor as well. It's small (the same size as the cheap disposable razors you're used to) so it doesn't take up a lot of space, but it's got a nice shape - rounded near the end- with a rubbery, textured grip so it fits in your hand really nicely, making it easy to control. 

Over all, I will be buying this razor again. It's a great price for the results your get and I'm never one to pass that up!
