Facial hair removal is a procedure that modern men regularly resort to. It is important from the point of view of not only aesthetics, but also hygiene. Shaving machines are most commonly used to remove stubble. Such hygiene items are produced by domestic and foreign manufacturers. Today we will talk about BIC brand shaving products. The article will consider its main advantages and disadvantages, an overview of the range and selection criteria.

Peculiarities

BIC was founded in 1945 in France. Initially, the manufacturer was engaged in the manufacture of stationery, but over time, the range of products was expanded. Today, under this trademark, mobile phones, office supplies, lighters, perfumes, various sports products, and razors are produced. BIC razors for men are in great demand in many countries around the world. The products of this brand have earned popularity due to the optimal ratio of quality and price.

Let's consider the main advantages of these machines.

  • Easy operation. It will be convenient and easy to use the machine even for those who took it in their hands for the first time in their life. Thanks to the Teflon coating and sharp blades, the razor glides smoothly over the skin. It doesn't take much effort to remove unwanted facial hair.
  • Durability and reliability of products. Reusable razors will last a long time due to the use of high quality materials in their manufacture (stainless steel, various types of polymer coatings for cutting plates).
  • Safe operation. Most models have an additional strip that reliably protects the skin from cuts. And also on the blades a special Teflon coating is applied, which prevents irritation even in men with sensitive skin type.
  • Adaptation of the blade for any relief.

BIC men's razors look stylish but inexpensive. Their cost is in the middle price range when compared with similar products.

There are also some disadvantages to French razors. These include rapid bluntness of cutting inserts, lightness, inaccessibility of some models. In addition, products often counterfeit, which is why some consumers have a negative opinion about their quality.

Product overview

The range of BIC machines is represented by disposable and reusable razors. Products differ in the number of blades, functionality and materials of manufacture.

Disposable

These types of machines are designed for single use. They are often found in the arsenal of every man. Thanks to their single use, these razors are highly hygienic. BIC manufactures many models of disposable razors.

  • BIC Metal - the simplest budget product, for the production of which high quality stainless steel is used. The blades are coated with a chromo-polymer compound for easy gliding. The metal strip on the shaver lifts facial hair, reducing the risk of irritation. These models are sold in sets of 5 or 10 razors with 1 blade.
  • BIC 1 Sensitive - disposable razors designed for sensitive skin. The blades are made of metal, the machine head is fixed. The special coating prevents cuts and irritations.
  • BIC 3 Sensitive. Razors for delicate hair removal. The machines are equipped with a floating head and 3 blades, coated with a chromium polymer compound.Increased shaving comfort due to the presence of an additional strip with aloe vera extract. Thanks to the ribbed handle, the product does not slip in wet hands.

Disposable razors are easy to use and cheap. However, many men prefer reusable models. Let's understand their features and assortment.

Reusable

According to men, the walls for repeated use provide a more comfortable and high-quality shaving process. These products are produced with sharpened blades, due to which they are designed for repeated use (depending on the intensity of use, one machine can be enough for 1-2 months). If the blade is dull, the cassette must be replaced.

Several types of reusable razors are produced under the BIC trademark. One of the most popular models is the Flex 3 Hybrid. This is a product with 3 stainless blades fixed on a movable head. Each machine is equipped with a moisturizing strip, impregnated with vitamin extract, which makes shaving more delicate.

In addition, each cassette is equipped with "combs" designed to raise the bristles. Due to them, in the process of shaving, the hairs are not torn out by the roots, but evenly shaved off.

Recently, BIC started developing reusable 5-blade razors - BIC Flex 5 Hybrid that follows the contours of the face. Products are sold individually, as well as in sets with replaceable cassettes (depending on the configuration, 2 or 4 pieces). The razor's sharp, movable blades follow every curve for an even glide and a close shave. These machines can be used for modeling or trimming.

For easy operation and comfortable shaving, the products are equipped with a rubberized handle and a moisturizing strip with vitamin E and aloe vera extract.

How to choose?

First of all, you need to decide on the type of machine - disposable or reusable. The former quickly become dull, which leads to the need to quickly replace them with new ones. However, if we take into account the low cost, such products pay for themselves. For permanent use, it is still recommended to look at the reusable variations.

The next criterion is the number of blades. Depending on the razor model, their number ranges from 1 to 5. It is a mistake to assume that the more cutting plates, the better the machine. Products with 4 and 5 blades provide perfectly smooth skin after shaving, but at the same time they remove a thick layer of the epidermis. Because of this feature, it is best for men with sensitive skin type to refuse to purchase razors with 4 and 5 blades.

When choosing, you need to pay attention to the size of the head. Wide products are inconvenient to use. With their help, it is difficult to shave hair in hard-to-reach places (area under the nose, sideburns). For men with sensitive, dry skin prone to irritation, it is recommended to give preference to razors with moisturizing strips. They nourish the damaged areas, helping to relieve the discomfort after shaving.

Reviews

Overall, the responses from men using BIC brand shaving products are positive. Most buyers note that these machines provide a smooth and comfortable shave without dryness and irritation of the skin. According to their assurances, the quality of the products exceeds the price. BIC razors are easy to use due to the ergonomic handle and sharp blades, reliable, do not dull for a long time. For reusable models, cassettes can be changed quickly and easily.

There are also negative responses, but they are rare. Basically, buyers complain about the inaccessibility of razors and accessories for them - products and cassettes are not sold in every store.

BIC produces a wide range of razors, so that even the most demanding customer can find the optimal solution for themselves. Due to the democratic pricing policy, the machines of this brand successfully compete with the shaving products of other well-known manufacturers.
