Solimo 5 Blade Handle Cartridges Handles Reviews Summary

Shave Quality

Pros:

• "You get an awesome, smooth shave. Highly recommended!"
• "Surprisingly smooth and easy to use! I was excited to use this, which sounds strange for shaving but it did such a great job and left my legs very smooth and moisturized."
• "It is an incredibly smooth shave and it glides effortlessly on my legs."
• "These razors work just as well as Venus or any other brand I’ve tried, but they’re a fraction of the price."
• "They glide over the skin easily, without getting a single cut, and make my legs nice and smooth."
• "Great shave, no nicks, and the suction holder is super handy!"
• "It was a very smooth shave without razor burn."

Cons:

• "Every time I use this razor I cut myself."
• "It does not provide a close shave at all. It also cuts your skin very easily."
• "Not happy with this razor. Not a close shave, random long/missed hairs."
• "The razor blades do not come close enough to my skin to remove hair."
• "Like some others, I found. This to be terrible. First and only use and I was left with numerous nicks and cuts and horrendous razor burn."
• "None has ever left stubble and given me razor burn and itchy legs on the first use. This one did."
• "I have used the razor 3x now, but it has cut my skin every time."

Moisturizing Strip

Pros:

• "It has plenty of moisturizing bands around the 5 blades."
• "The gel surrounding makes for a smooth shave leaving my legs soft."
• "The moisturizer strip and blade sharpness very much outlasts those name brands."
• "I like the lotion and moisture strip and the way it is one piece so it wont break off."
• "The hook makes the razor last so much longer and doesn’t get rusty."
• "These razors have lots of lube and shave every bit as well as the name brand razors that cost over twice as much."
• "Its very moisturizing, easy to use and was well put together."

Cons:

• "The moisture strip at the top of the blade gets very gummy and sticky after one use."
• "The surrounding moisturizing strip doesn't moisturize very well, but it does prevent a close shave and make it harder to shave in tight spots."
• "The moisturizing strip on these razors turns to goo and makes it super gross to use, slippery too."
• "But that only lasts a couple of uses, then there is no moisture left for a smooth glide."
• "The soft/gel/lotion part becomes sticky and swollen if stored in a humid area, such as a shower or bath shelf."
• "Almost immediately after starting to shave it got slimy and felt absolutely disgusting. Do not recommend."
• "Used the razor once. Left it in the shelf in the shower. Razor side up, no water. And the lubricant that surrounds the blades was so gummy."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "Razors are getting so expensive anymore. Venus refills are going for about 25 dollars for 6 cartridges. And they don't give a super close shave. I bought these since they are such a great deal."
• "I'll probably continue to repurchase because of the cost and convenience."
• "Great quality and cheaper price I’M HAPPY!"
• "Same quality as name brand but less cost."
• "These are really good. Women's razors are usually ridiculously expensive but these are a great value and last a while."
• "These are every single bit as good and I love paying half the price for them, oh my goodness."
• "So very economical too! I'll certainly be purchasing more of these."

Cons:

• "Overall, this is a good value for the price, but I do feel there are better razors out there and I don't think I would buy this again."
• "I will never buy a name-brand razor head replacement every again. These are exactly like other brands that cost this amount for only 6 replacements."
• "Unfortunately the refills are insanely expensive!"
• "It’s not refundable so I’m out almost $20. So annoying."
• "I was so tired of spending a ton of money for 2 blades and a handle and the blades not lasting for more than 2-5 uses."
• "I saw the reviews and was like “yay I’ll save to a of money by doing generic” but I now know you simply can’t go cheap on hygiene products."
• "Don’t waste your money, stick with Venus and other better quality products."

Design and Ergonomics

Pros:

• "The handle is squishy ergonomic and easy to hold, but the blades leave something to be desired."
• "The handle is durable and feels pleasant."
• "The handle is shaped so it is easy to handle, making it easy to get done more quickly."
• "The handle is comfortable to hold."
• "Perfect size handle for control, easy swapping of the heads and smooth shave for days."
• "It handles better than the Billie one did AND the handle is much more comfortable to use."
• "To help preserve the life of the blade, I have mine stuck to and hanging on my bathroom mirror."

Cons:

• "Another issue is that the cartridge doesn't stay attached to the handle very well. It has come off by itself at each use."
• "The only thing I’m not a fan of is the suction cup holder that doesn’t stay on my wall."
• "It also comes with a shower hook but I couldn't get it to stick on my wall."
• "The shower hanger is a joke! It doesn't stick, found the razor in the bathtub with the Cartridge popped off on a daily!"
• "The razors are really lightweight and fall off the holder easily and sometimes the top pops off."
• "This razor is so frustrating because the head pops off the handle multiple times EVERY time I use it."
• "Usually I like Amazon Essential, these razors shave nice but I can't get the flipping blade on!"

Skin Sensitivity and Comfort

Pros:

• "I have very sensitive skin and have had issues in the past with razor burn or rashes from other brands. Not this brand."
• "I haven't had any bumps from shaving and there is no need for shaving gel. I also haven't cut myself since starting to use them!"
• "I am thrilled with this purchase. These razors give a nice smooth shave, with absolutely NO irritation, or bumps left behind."
• "They are by far the best razors I have used. Leave your skin so silky soft. No razor burns! Definitely will be buying again!"
• "My sensitive skin is soft after shaving and I haven’t gotten razor burn."
• "Love this razor, leaves my skin feeling silky smooth."
• "Worked great for my legs - I have very sensitive skin and often am itchy after shaving, sometimes for hours, even though I always use moisturizer but after several uses have had none."
