Review on Bic Flex 3 Men's 4-Count Shaving Razors by Adam Dziarnowski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It has some flaws but the product is usable.

Approximately one and a half years ago, I spent very little money on a Flex 3 and a Flex 5, and I can honestly say that I did not notice any difference in the quality of the shave between the two. The shave produced by either the three or the five blades is identical. You can't get close to the bristles under my nose no matter how much you grimace with the Flex 3, so you'll need to use another machine to shave the areas that are difficult to access. My nose is kind of awkward. The shaving is very aggressive, and cutting off the skin is not a problem (especially during the first two shaves with a new cassette; after that, it shaves a little more gently). The blades become dull twice as quickly as those of American and French competitors (we do not take fakes into account). We owe them a debt of gratitude since they cut the bristles more deeply and more cleanly than their competitors do, till the blades grow dull, but as I mentioned earlier, sometimes along with the skin as well. In spite of all the drawbacks, the price of cassettes has a remarkable propensity to catch up with those of the competition quite rapidly. It comes as a surprise to me that I was able to get them exactly 2.5 times more cheaply just a little over a year ago (now that I have the information, I used a calculator)). At the current price, there is no way that I will ever purchase these.

Pros
  • Still a little bit more affordable than Gellette
Cons
  • There were quite a few aspects of it that I did not appreciate. Machines that are too light and built of plastic that is too cheap. Shaving with a lot of pressure, and I often end up cutting off some skin along with the stubble. No trimmer.
