BIC Flex 3, Triple Blade Razor Blades for Men, With Moving Blade Heads for a Close and Soft Shave, Pack of 4

Product Information

Balancing Sphere:The steel ball on the top of the handle holds enough weight to help balance out the weight of the razor. It has a similar design to the latest Gillette’s but has a fatter look and feel and does not match the quality of the Gillette Fusion 5 and ProGlide razor handles. It has a self-cleaning base and a travel case that also serves as a charger, so you don't have to bring a cord with you on long trips.

Sometimes, the additional blades in modern designs that help achieve a smooth, close shave can also stretch and tug at your skin and make it feel depleted. The Godfather gets the nod here with a slightly more aggressive blade that shaves a bit more closely than the Bevel.

Anyone who has followed my electric shaveror razor reviewswill know I usually test them out on a three or more day growth, two days of growth, and then daily shaving. The blade configuration is also a little more spaced out, making them easier to keep clean and clear of debris compared to more closely-spaced 4 or 5-blade designs. The Gillette Mach3 3D, Gillette ProGlide, and Gillette ProGlide Shield are extremely easy to rinse clean and have exceptional blade replacement systems. The substantial handle is nicely weighted and has a comfortable ergonomic shape and textured grip, providing plenty of control to let the blade gently glide across your face. The Stonehenge model that we tested has a classic weathered finish that looks and feels like a heavy-duty tool.

Recognizing that shavers with different skin and hair types may have different shaving needs and priorities, he is armed with a meticulous awareness of how different tools and products have different capabilities and weaknesses and how they would impact the overall shaving experience. The Gillette ProGlide Shield is our favorite overall razor for its low friction glide and high-quality shave. If you must go with disposables, consider choosing , a brand that has a recycling program that will let you mail your used razors back to them. Using the standard "Mild DE Razor blades from Vikings Blade, we found the shave quality to be slightly better than other safety razors we've tested, but an inexperienced user can also make the Vikings Blade a little less forgiving.Added features aside, overall shave quality is where the Flex 5 lags behind when compared to more expensive razors on our list. The Gillette Sensor3 Smooth Shave Disposable has a similar 3-blade design as the Mach3 that does an excellent job of preventing grime from building up between the blades. To find the best products, we evaluated each product across a series of five performance metrics, including shave quality, glide and comfort, handle ergonomics, build quality and durability, and ease of cleaning and blade replacement.

I had no expectations before shaving with the BIC Flex 5 and kept the expectations on the lower side of what I would get from a Gillette Fusion5 or ProGlide, as the Flex 5 is a cheaper razor option.Plenty of lubrication was available from the lubrication strip on the first three shaves, to not have to use much shaving lather on the second pass. It comes with five attachments and fourteen guards to enable full-body grooming and beard trimming in any desired length and style.
