4.0 out of 5 stars BIC's Best Disposable Razor, July 31, 2006

This review is from: BIC Comfort 3 Advance Pivot Triple Blade Disposable Shaver, Men, 4-Count (Pack of 6) (Health and Beauty)

I use disposable razors almost exclusively and they are one of a group of products where price and quality are directly correlated to each other. A cheap, inexpensive razor isn't likely to result in a comfortable shave. In my younger days, I would often reach for the cheaper varieties out of financial necessity. But today, I invest more time and money on shaving and other health care products. BIC Comfort 3 Advance is BIC's most expensive razor and it does rank a notch better than the other, more expensive members of the BIC family and several notches better than BIC's cheapest razors.

Judging by the ability to cut hair, this razor seems like a pretty good one. The cutting device offers three blades that get the job done in the most efficient manner possible. Each stroke sends three blades across the surface of your skin, cutting the hair more quickly and with less effort than other disposable razors. I did experience an occasional small cut (usually above my upper lip), but this is common with almost all hand operated razors.

The lubrication strips just above the blades offer extra protection by moisturizing the skin before the blades make contact. These strips release aloe and Vitamin E and you can feel them working with each stroke across your face. They leave a trail of moisture on the skin that is slippery to the touch but washes off quickly with water. This is one part of the razor, however, that wears out more quickly than the rest. After about four uses, I could feel a distinct difference in the amount of lubricant that was released from these strips. There was practically nothing left and their enhancement to the shaving experience was minimal. Also, since they do leave the skin feeling rather slimy, they make it more difficult to check for a close shave. When I shave, I am most picky about the moustache area and I tend to shave it more rigorously. I even turn the razor around and shave against the growth of the hair for added closeness. I always rub my fingers across the skin to check for closeness but this process is interfered with lubrication is present. The sliminess of the aloe and Vitamin E makes it feel like the shave was closer than it really was. This is why you must remember to wipe off the slimy lubricant before you administer the touch test.

The handle of BIC Comfort 3 Advance is designed to make shaving easier. The wider bottom fits nicely into the palm of the hand while the narrow middle is good for gripping between the fingers. The raised "bubbles" (for lack of a better word) offer a gripping surface and they are placed in several strategic places on the handle. This design is a good one and it ranks with some of the better, more expensive disposable razors.

BIC Comfort 3 Advance is just like other disposable razors in at least one regard: It has to be thrown away in about one to two weeks. Based on my experience, this razor is good for about seven to twelve days depending on the density of one's hair and the frequency of shaving. I shave once every day so with this razor, I can expect to get through one full month with about three or four razors. This is a little bit better than other disposable razors and it helps to partially justify the extra cost.

Overall, the BIC Comfort 3 Advance is a very good razor from BIC and it ranks as the best disposable BIC razor I have tried thus far. The price per razor is almost greater than BIC's other varieties but when it comes to disposable razors, the added cost is worth it. Better grip, efficient cutting, and improved comfort make this one of the better disposable razors on the market.

This review is from: BIC Comfort 3 Advance Pivot Triple Blade Disposable Shaver, Men, 4-Count (Pack of 6) (Health and Beauty)

I first encountered these razors when I received one in my complimentary toiletry pack on a cruise ship four or five years ago, and I have used nothing else since. I shave both my scalp and face daily, and this razor provides a great, close shave, the pivoting head manoeuvering the contours of my head and face with minimum effort. The substantial contoured handle fits very comfortably in my grip. This is overall the most effective and comfortable razor I've used -- disposable or electric.

Got nothing against Bic,stick to making pens and lighters!!! I bought these at CVS on sale,even at the cut rate price,these dont work that great for me,I do have a heaveier beard than most,but the Gillette Fusion always gives a great shave,even thick ones like mine,that's my favorite razor!!! Like I said these Bic Comfort 3 Advance razors hurt even on the first shave,Ouch!!!,sorry, dont wanna bleed,thank you!!! I'm gonna stick to my tried and true Gillette Fusion or possibly Schick Quatro!!! Not recommended!!!
