BIC 1 Sensitive, Single Disposable Razor Blade for Men, Designed for a Comfortable, Sensitive Shave, Pack of 40

Classic reliable and cheap love these for pesky hairs i have, finishing shaving my head with a light skimming over using these. Love these over most other razors. Great value for money

Brilliant, easy to use.

The BIC Sensitive disposable razor has pleasantly surprised me with its straightforward design and exceptional performance. As someone with sensitive skin, finding a razor that doesn't cause irritation or tugging has been a quest, and this razor has definitely earned a place in my grooming routine.What sets this razor apart is its single sharp blade. This minimalistic approach proves to be its strongest suit, especially for those with sensitive skin. The blade glides effortlessly, offering a smooth and close shave without the discomfort of multiple blades tugging at hairs.I've found this razor to be versatile, even for more delicate areas. Its sensitivity factor extends beyond just the face – I personally use it for nether regions with fantastic results. This adaptability makes it a valuable addition to any travel kit. It's reassuring to know that this razor won't raise any concerns at airport security, thanks to its simple design.One of the most appealing aspects is the affordability of the razor. Its price-to-performance ratio is quite impressive, making it a budget-friendly option that delivers more than its cost suggests.However, the razor does have one noticeable drawback. As you use it, or even during a single use, it tends to get clogged up with hairs. This can disrupt the smooth shaving experience and require some careful unclogging. It's a minor inconvenience that can be managed by thoroughly rinsing the razor under water, but it does detract slightly from an otherwise seamless experience.In conclusion, the BIC 1 Sensitive disposable razor is a straightforward and effective grooming tool, especially suitable for those with sensitive skin. Its single blade design provides a comfortable and close shave without causing irritation. The razor's versatility extends to travel use, with its simple construction ensuring a hassle-free experience at security checkpoints. While the occasional clogging issue does arise, it's a small price to pay for the benefits this razor offers. For its price point and performance, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.

This review is copied from the one I wrote of the exact same product in the 20-pack option (which, by the way, is usually about twice as cheap for the amount of blades you get). With the 5-pack (x2) you get around 12-14p a razor, 6p with the 20-pack for the same price, but double the amount!What's not to like with this extreme-value pack? (Well, aside from the ludicrous waste of plastic that it produces - that aside...) At £1.23 for a pack of 20 blades [n/a for this variant, but still very close], we get an almost-free 6.1p/blade.This is very much a bare-essentials, no-frills product. You're not paying for ANYTHING, besides a sharpened, single blade on a frankly somewhat pathetic-looking hollow plastic straw. And if that satisfies your requirements for whatever reason, there is really little better that exists to my knowledge.These should NOT be your primary shave. I have tried, and Sensitive 1's were indeed my first razor.You will get a MUCH better experience with either a double-edged safety razor (like the QShave that resembles a Merkur Futur, or Baili) with Astra blades, or if your preference is for cassettes (yuck), something like Amazon's own Solimo, or the Gillette SkinGuard Sensitive I have. Both provide extremely satisfying results, and my personal preference is for DE, however the Gillettes are safer and easier to not accidentally slice yourself open with, especially under the lip. However, if the need arises (whatever it may be), then there is little better than the 6p Bic 1's. They will do the job. And no more. No rotating, multi-blade comfort, anything beyond the blade and a makeshift holder for it, really.They're also exceptionally small, and if you so _desire_ due to their ludicrously low price I sometimes cut/saw most of the straw holder off, to keep almost just the head of the razor. At the cost of some maneuvrability (which by the way, you NEED to get to grips with quickly for this razor due to the lack of rotation), this results in possibly the absolutely most compact way to get a shave I know of, making it good for a trip bag.You WILL get nicked sooner or later, or if you don't know how to maneuver a razor such as this - there is a specific angle it needs. You will almost certainly get angry that eventually it doesn't fully catch all areas. But you can make them last ages before that happens through proper maintenance (yes, even on a 6p razor - save the turtles!), and if you are buying a £1.50~ 10-pack of Bics, I have a feeling that top performance is not exactly your priority given a 100-pack of Astra blades to last you years costs under £10. I actually still buy these (very rarely due to how long they last me most of the time) despite owning a SGS and a DE razor, because the head is so small it's a great tool to get the final touch on trimming the moustache area.To summarize - it does the bare minimum for a razor, and nothing more, in return for costing less than a single digestive biscuit. Please buy foam (£1 Gillette, or a £1-2 Eyvap Arko stick, I prefer the Arkos due to size and efficiency) if you need these, lest you want to look like Freddy Krueger instead of a classy businessman/businesslady. Recommended product, but there are exponentially better alternatives that only need a £20 investment every few years at most, and in 90% of cases will be a better option.

Good value product

Easy to use. Good value.

I have thick, bristly stubble and these razors are good for 2 shaves each so 40 shaves for £2.40... awesome!

Useless for anything practical . Sideburns tidy - don’t cut .Bald man back of head - cut to bits, blood flowing freely .Anywhere else - avoid .
