BIC Sensitive Disposable Razor

TL;DR: Simple, single blade razors that give a surprisingly close, irritation free shave, last longer than expected, and are priced so well that stocking up is a no brainer. I bought this 52 pack of BIC Sensitive Disposable Razors looking for something basic and inexpensive that would not shred my skin. What I got was a very solid everyday razor that feels far better than the price suggests. Performance first. These are single blade razors, so I was not expecting an especially close shave. Used with a decent shaving cream and light pressure, the shave is actually very respectable. It is not as glass smooth as a premium multi blade cartridge, but it is absolutely good enough for daily use. The blade is sharp enough to cut through several days of stubble without tugging, and since it is a single blade, it rinses clean easily and does not clog up. Skin comfort is where these stand out for me. I have skin that gets red and bumpy pretty easily, especially on the neck. With these, as long as I take normal care and do not rush, I get almost no burning or razor bumps afterward. The head is fixed, so you do have to adjust your angle a bit around the jawline, but that actually helps me avoid going over the same spot too many times. Someone with very sensitive skin or someone who reacts badly to multi blade cartridges may appreciate this. Longevity has been a pleasant surprise. For a true disposable at this price, I expected to get one or two shaves and toss it. With normal beard growth, I can comfortably get three to five shaves per razor before it starts to feel dull, sometimes more if I am careful about rinsing the blade and letting it dry. Multiply that by 52 and you end up with a lot of shaves for the money. A few practical notes: • The handle is lightweight but not flimsy. It has basic ridges that keep it from slipping even with wet, soapy hands. • The bright orange color makes them easy to spot in a drawer or travel bag. • They are ideal to toss into a gym bag, keep in a guest bathroom, or bring on trips where you do not want to risk losing an expensive razor. There are some tradeoffs, of course. The fixed head means you have to pay attention around curves, and if you are used to a five blade premium cartridge you will notice the difference in how quickly it mows down thick growth. Also, these are all plastic disposables, so if you are trying to minimize waste, this is not the most eco friendly option. For the price and convenience though, that compromise may be acceptable. Overall, if you want a dependable, no nonsense razor that treats sensitive skin kindly and offers very good value per shave, this 52 pack from BIC is easy to recommend. They work well, they last longer than you would expect a cheap disposable to last, and the cost per razor is hard to beat. Thanks for reading!! (Assuming you did)

Ive been using these for probably decades, they are pretty cheap cost wise and work well for me. The box of fifty two is the best price at the time of this review, about half of purchasing smaller packages of them. I have never bought into the six million blade razors, they are way over priced and to me wont do any better than the Bic.

I started using these years ago mainly because of the lower price. Here we are years later and I'm still using them. I've purchased some of the different types of multiple blade razors a few times and they work OK but cost a lot, as do the blade refills. I just don't see that big of a difference to justify the higher costs of the other choices. I would say that guys with tougher hair growth may not get the same results that I do with these single blade models though.

Good shave.

Great if you have lots of males in the house using razors. This many razors should last us and cheaper in bulk

In bulk, many uses, many blades. Yeah great value, sharp. Many uses and good for triming eyebrows, face and body. I prefer single blade razor over the 3/5/_ types since these leave my face smooth and not irritated. Doesn't catch on my hairs and glides smooth. Happy with this purchase

The razors are probably great for somebody but not for me. They are a quality item and they are easy to hold and to manipulate. They are colorful. The little blade does cut the beard. But the shave lather bunches up in front of the razor as it glides and one has to rinse it a lot of time...lots of times! -- I had to pass over my heard at least three times and in some areas 4 or more times to get a smooth shave. I do have a tough beard. My problems with these razors do not lie with the razors themselves. My problem with the razors stem from me making the wrong choice for my kind of beard,. Because BIC is such an icon in the business and since these are well made, I do recommend them highly to those who can use them because their economy is exemplary ...lots of bang for the buck!

Great price

.. I was always using them wrong till I discovered by accident that tilting the face of the razor head almost flat to your face when shaving produces a far closer, smoother shave. They seem to need a different angle than other disposables, but when used correctly they are just as good as more expensive alternatives

Aparelhos muito bons! Bem desenvolvidos para cumprir a sua função! Recomendo!

These razors, at a fraction of the price of the really expensive multi blade types are your BEST shaving buy. The blade is super sharp and smooth. And the single blade isn’t prone to clogging during shaving, and each razor lasts for several uses. Best disposable I’ve ever used, and I’ve tried them all.

I've used this particular razor for years but it became obsolete unfortunately as the younger generation required a multi-blade razor. Very pleased that I found this deal on Amazon. Will order again before Xmas.

First time trying, haven't tried out yet but only received 51pc instead of 52.
