The BIC Classic (for normal skin)

Product Rating - 2 Stars-Not so Good

What can be said about the BIC Classic that has not already been said like, ouch! That smarts! You can buy a 5 pack of these bad boys for $1.59 at your local store. They are the most widely available cheap disposables next to the Gillette Good News. Unless you have a face like shoe leather, this may not be the disposable for you. I found myself struggling to shave hard to reach areas like under my nose and around my chin. I had to back off after the second pass for fear of serious irritation.

Don't get me wrong, I looked good from a few feet away. This shaver is good for an overnight stay in jail or a camping trip. This single blade shaver is all plastic. No lubrication strip, no soft gel razor guard. You have to be very careful when you use this shaver. You can easily get bumps or cuts if you are not paying attention. This is an unforgiving razor. So man up, lay down a buck-fifty, break out the after shave and get ready to do your best Macaulay Culkin impression.


Oh sh**t.
