7 Best Disposable Razors

Any safety razor user will tell you that the number of blades doesn’t necessarily determine a razor’s shave quality. Bic’s classic single-blade disposable razor proves the point entirely. It shaves with the efficacy of a safety razor and the comfort of a refill cartridge razor. It’s the best disposable razor for a hassle-free, uncomplicated shave. Its high-grade single blade is kinder to sensitive skin than the average multi-blade razor. It’s completely wieldy and versatile, so it can be used to shave any part of your body. Overall, it’s the same Bic disposable razor we all know and love: a bare-bones, trusty little razor that works.

Though it doesn’t have much going for it by way of features, it doesn’t mean that it’s entirely feature-less. Its finely-sharpened blade is stamped from top-quality stainless-steel that’s been proven to last longer than standard disposable blades. A single blade is safer as it reduces the chances of nips, scratches, bumps, and razor burn. You’ll hardly notice the absence of a lubricating strip because its one-blade shaver head glides just as smoothly as lubed models. Its slender plastic handle supports a sure and steady grip. Cleaning is a snappy rinse and shake affair.
