The New BIC Flex 5 Shaver Is Here – Here’s What We Think

As someone who started to shave recently, I’m always on the look-out for a shaver that is comfortable to handle and leaves my skin feeling fresh without burning or cutting my skin. I was pleasantly surprised with the BIC Flex 5. The design is great, specifically the unique shape of its handle. But, that would mean nothing if it didn’t provide a good shave, which it fortunately does.

It’s lightweight and has a weighted ball near the razor to help with balance. The razor does provide a closer shave, however the process takes longer because the blades are packed so closely together that the hair tends to collect therefore requiring more frequent rinsing.

That being said, this is a solid razor, especially because it’s disposable and lighter than most of its counterparts. And unlike most disposable razors that make it nearly impossible to reach tricky spots, this gives you a clean shave all over the edges.

This BIC Flex 5 disposable razor has given me the smoothest shave ever! I plan on making this product my go-to for the foreseeable future.

The razor is available at all major retailers across South Africa at a recommended price of R49.99.
