Men pay $1 and women pay 86 each. 08 each! br>br>At first, I bought this Solimo razor handle and cartridges because they were such a good deal.

Pricing for these products is based on a number of factors.
Ugh. I've never had a razor burn in my life. I'm the kind of guy who can get by with a two-blade razor from the 1990s. I was excited to put these to the test. Although the packaging is attractive, it appears to be a waste of resources. I had to fumble a little to get the blades out of the little cases, and then I had to fumble a little more to get the handle on. It wasn't particularly difficult, but it could have been made simpler. I had imagined that using a brand new razor from a cool package would be all nice and luxurious, but it wasn't the case. I stepped out of the shower in agony, unsure if I'd cut myself or what I could do to relieve the pain. Razor burn, I suppose. These aren't my cup of tea.
For the past 15 years, I've been a hesitant user of Gillette Venus (GV). I say reluctantly because, let's be honest, $13 for four cartridges isn't exactly cheap. Ouch! But every time I tried something less expensive, I was disappointed, so I stuck with GV despite my reservations. I'm thrilled to announce that I'm now a believer!! br>br>My husband is a firefighter, and he prefers to have his head shaved almost to the pores. It's common to use two words in a sentence. For his head alone, he'll need three cartridges. I'm what you'd call a slacker when it comes to shaving - I procrastinate so much that by the time I actually shave, I've shaved off enough hair from my body to make a faux taxidermied hamster. Normally, one cartridge is enough for my shaving, but one cartridge does not last much longer than two sessions. So, every couple of weeks, my husband and I go through a four-pack of cartridges, which costs about $26 per month; That adds up to more than $300 per year! br>br>I've used both the men's and women's Solimo razors twice now, one on each leg and armpit, and the women's on my. ahem. The outskirts of the Earth. I've had super smooth shaves both times, with no cuts, razor burn, or irritation, and no spots missed. I've included photos with the Venus in the middle to compare sizes, shapes, and appearances, as well as one that shows how the cartridges attach (the Solimo cartridges do not attach to the Venus handles, as stated in the details). I'll go over the advantages and disadvantages of both. Women's advantages: br>br>
- I like the handle because it's difficult to lose your grip on it. br>- LOTS of vitamin E moisturizing lubricant, as opposed to GV's single stripbr>- tolerant of the *lady parts* without causing irritationbr>- a shave that is extremely smoothbr>- br>- Cartridges are simple to replace. Suction cup shower hanger is included. br>Cons for women:
- When using vitamin E for the first time, it becomes extremely slippery; It then settles down. br>- The cartridge head is a lot bigger than the GV I've been using, so it'll take some getting used to. br>br>Men's pros:
- solid grip, even if it is a little heavybr>- shave that is smooth and cleanbr>- a pivoting head, as depicted in the photosbr>- a modern metallic appearancebr>- cartridges are also simple to replacebr>Cons for men:
- It's almost awkward to use because the handle is heavier toward the cartridge. br>- br>br>Overall, I'm very pleased with both of these razors, and I'm looking forward to paying a third of what I've been paying for Gillette Venus razors. Thank you so much, Solimo!.
I was ecstatic to find this pack of razors for such a low price, and I only used the razor handle and one blade. ONE- I went to load a new blade the next time, and the next time, and the next time, and the next time, and the next time, and the next time, THE BACK PLASTIC ADAPTER HAS BROKE. I can't attach a blade to the handle any longer. br> br>I don't want to buy a new handle, but I'm not sure how to ask Amazon to send me one to replace the one that is broken. br>Thus, be on the lookout- Because the handle is made of a low-quality material that is easily broken, it should be handled with care.
After giving up those over-the-counter pain relievers, I became a Dorco Devotee for several years. a name that is reasonably priced "Lady Gillette" razors, for example. I was adamant about only using Dorco, which I could only find on Amazon. I broke the old Dorco handle I'd been using for over two years about two months ago, and I was a few dollars short of being able to replace it (plus I needed blades, but the Dorcos always lasted longer anyway). br>br>For no apparent reason, I went'shopping' on Amazon in search of a less expensive alternative to my ideal Dorco Shai, and I came across this brand I'd never heard of. I tried these solely because of the price difference (about $18 for 12 blades versus $22 for 10 blades the handle). O. br>br>O. br>O. br>O. br>O. br>O That's all I have to say about it. br>Benefits - 1) Without a doubt, the closest and smoothest shave I've ever had. Because of how close the shave is, hair appears to regrow more slowly. br>2) The blades last a long time; I just replaced the first one after 7 weeks of use (and no, I don't do any of those ridiculous blade-sharpening tricks). blow drying it after each use) are examples of cost-cutting techniques. br>3) There's no need for shaving cream! I'm also saving money because I don't have to buy shaving lotion or cream. With just water and the lubricated strip, you can achieve a nice, clean, and smooth shave. br>br>Cons - If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, this is the place to be. 1) The suctioned hanger isn't exactly dependable. It's already fallen down a couple of times in the shower, but every now and then it will stay put. br>2) The so-called "Pink Tax. " " The comparable men's razor kit (1 handle and 16 blades, also with a lubricated strip; the men's version has a trimmer but no hanger) costs $1, according to another reviewer. 05 per blade, compared to $1 for this women's kit. Each blade costs 58 cents. There are no 16-year-olds on the market. Women's sets are razor-sharp, but do the math. We're shelling out more than $6 for this. 00 more for every 16 blades we purchase to match the number of cartridge replacements in the men's kit, and there doesn't appear to be much of a difference between the two versions. Leaving aside the hanger, dividing the costs "per unit" as listed on Amazon clearly refers to the blades, not the handle or the hanger, so why are women charged more for these blades (both of which are five-bladed replacement heads)? Solimo/Amazon, that's a filthy pool. I'm thinking about calling that customer service number and expressing my dissatisfaction. br>br>The only reason for four stars instead of five is because of the ineffective hanger and the obvious Pink Tax. If women's razors were the same price as men's (or men's were the same price as women's), I'd give it five stars and overlook the flimsy hanger, but the Pink Tax is a tough pill to swallow.
