BIC Soleil Bella 4-Blade Razors Review

Primarily when I shave I use a cheap ol’ disposable razor and it serves its purpose.  I have tried more expensive razors like the Gillette Venus as well as my husband’s Fusion shavers.  Typically, I will only buy them if I can find a good deal on them though.   As a member of BzzAgent, I was able to get a free package of Bic’s new Soleil Belle 4 blade razors.  Free is a pretty good deal in my book. 

The Bic Soleil Belle is a new 4-blade disposable shaver is touted to have four e-z rinse blades for a smooth shave.  There is also a moisture strip with coconut milk.  Honestly, I don’t really feel the moisture strip did a whole lot for me.  The plastic handle has a very nice design in that it is more flat than curvy, which makes it great for holding while shaving.  Non-slip rubber is also included on the key areas of the handles.  This was probably my favorite feature of the razor.  The package comes with 3 shavers – all in bright colors. 

I finally remembered to take my package of new razors into the bathroom so I could actually use them.  I have found the disposable razors are not quite as good as their cartridge counter-parts which holds true with the Soleil Bella. 

My shave is usually in the shower with just water, which has been just fine for as long as I’ve been shaving.  While using the Bic Soleil Bella, I didn’t really feel it was much different on my legs than any twin blade I have used.  It definitely wasn’t as smooth as the Venus which is a 5-blade shaver.  My legs are definitely smooth afterward, but I definitely had to apply lotion to not be scaly.  That in mind, I did find that the Bella was excellent for a close bikini shave.  It was a close shave unlike what a twin blade can do, yet the head was small enough to maneuver unlike the Venus.

As for the E-Z Clean Blades... I didn't really find them to be much easier to rinse than any other razor.

Overall, I’m not sure if the Soleil Bella will be top on my list of razors to pick up, but if I can find a good deal on it I will use it again.  It does have a decent shave, though it’s not much smoother than using a traditional twin or even 3-blade shaver.  The bikini shave though is unlike any other I’ve tried which makes it worth something for me.
