Bic Shaver Flex 4 Pack

I absolutely love my Bic Flex For men. Super great quality, way better than cheap disposable razors for women. Has four sharp fine blades and lasts a super long time. Forgot how much I love this razor until I found it on #Influenster. Will absolutely buy again!!

I bought this BIC Hybrid 4 Flex razor package, that contains a new handle and 4 cartridges. The handle is not metal but is weighted a bit and has a pivoting head. Each cartridge head has 4 blades that adjust to the contours of your face. They have a lubricating strip with Aloe and Vitamin E. Easy to use, just apply Shaving Cream or gel, and take smooth and short strokes. You may be like me and experience minor nicks, depending on you shaving speed/technique. Shave in the direction of hair growth! I can get 2-3 shaves out of each blade. Where previous versions, I would get 4-5 shaves. I find it awkward for shaving under my nose because of the guard. The cartridge fell off the handle on me once so far. It would be nice to have just the replacement pack available or if ... MoreI bought this BIC Hybrid 4 Flex razor package, that contains a new handle and 4 cartridges.

It would be nice to have just the replacement pack available or if it came with more blades. I hate having to toss out so many handles. Change the handle to a metal one and sell the blades separately, and it would be much better. Other then that, it provides a nice clean shave.

A very disappointing product

I have been shaving for 60 years and in general have very few concerns about the shavers I use. But these shavers were simply not up to standard were anything like the label they bore. My face is not super sensitive but I prefer one that says sensitive of course. Smoother ! Sensitive ! Absolutely not. I was cut by the first one and had to be very careful with th others !

Average disposable, at best

I've been a daily shaver for nearly 35 years -- and for the last 20 -- one who shaves my head and face at least five times a week. With that, having a quality razor that performs day-in,-day-out is imperative. And while I've tried countless razors over the years, the BIC Flex 4 Hybrid Disposable Razor isn't one of them. When I opened the package for the first time, I noticed right away how small and lightweight the handle is compared to traditional cartridge razors. Installing the cartridge is easy -- dare, I say too easy -- as it popped out twice the first time I used it, which is frustrating. And since the handle is so light, I did have to press down on the razor. But it did leave me with a close shave without any nicks, cuts or irritation after round one.

For the third time using the same cartridge, though, it already seemed dull. I repeatedly had to re-shave over sections I had already done causing minor irritation. While this could be a decent travel shaver for a week or two as everything is disposable, the BIC Flex 4 Hybrid Disposable Razor just doesn't perform well enough for it to be a mainstay in my medicine cabinet.

Gets the job done, but only an average razor

This razor is an all plastic construction and although it says it was "weighted", it felt very light, similar to other disposable razors and cheaper than other razors I've used such as Schick Hydro 5 and Gillette Fusion. Overall, I was not too impressed with the razor. It provided an average shave, but I would rather pay a little bit more for a much better shaving experience. This razor also does not feature a trimming blade on the back like other razors and this is a deal breaker for me, as it makes creating a straight cut for my sideburns difficult. I also noticed for parts where my hair is more dense like my chin, it did not cut through them as easy as other razors I've used. Overall, if you're needing something cheap this disposable razor gets the job done, but ... MoreThis razor is an all plastic construction and although it says it was "weighted", it felt very light, similar to other disposable razors and cheaper than other razors I've used such as Schick Hydro 5 and Gillette Fusion.

Makes Shaving Bearable...

I don't like to shave, mainly because of the discomfort, but also because most razors just don't do a good enough job. In fact, I've worn various styles of mustache or beard for most of my adult life, just to cut down on shaving. When I tried the BIC Flex 4 disposable, I admit that I didn't hold out much hope of finding the answer to my problems, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality, convenience, and close, comfortable shave it delivered. I got smooth, consistent results, and didn't have the usual trouble with missed spots, nicks, or discomfort. The conditioning strip helped provide additional lubrication and left my skin soft and smooth. While I will probably always keep some kind of facial hair, the BIC Flex 4 is now my go-to razor for keeping things neat ... MoreI don't like to shave, mainly because of the discomfort, but also because most razors just don't do a good enough job.

My 2nd go to

I am a woman and usually get the Schick Xtreme 5 razors for men. Couldn’t love them more, but they were out so I decided to try these. First shave wise, they are about equivalent, but the orange rubber/ styrofoam bar dissolves fairly quickly and it affects the quality of shaving over time. Where as the Schick Xtreme 5 has a blue solid smooth plastic bar in its place and allows the whole razor to last way longer until the blades them selves are dull. Would consider these again if they are out of mine again. Price wise there isn’t much difference either.

One of the best I've used!

I've tried so many razors over the years. My beard it tough and thick. Most razors fail to provide a descent shave right out of the box. Others do fair the first time but clog up to the point it's so much work to clean out it's not hardly worth it. When the first 4 blade razors came out I was hopeful but the blades were too close and they clogged up too. I did find one but the edge didn't last but 2 maybe 3 shaves before it was too dull to get through my forest of beard. This Bic Flex 4 however is a different story. I was amazed!! It was so smooth the first time. It was easy to clean by tapping on the sink. I thought can I get 3 good shaves? I wound up getting 5 before it started pulling and scraping starting to get dull. But for JR 5 great shaves is a first. Now ... MoreI've tried so many razors over the years. My beard it tough and thick. Most razors fail to provide a descent shave right out of the box.

Safe but not very close.

This razor is very safe. I never nick myself. Unfortunately that means I don't get a close shave. It always misses some hairs. Going over and over doesn't solve the problem. So there is a tradeoff. Safe shaving but not close nor smooth, smooth and complete but possible nicks. I plan to go for the smooth and complete.

Sometimes it really is_ just as it is!?

This shaver is so far; so good. And it hasn't given any problems of sorts. Also the fact that this shaver is a 4-bladed shaver means the world from a man's perspective and as a guy here_ every individual living should have_ at least for one's own personal use.
