While some men may think of summer as a time to relax and let their look get a little scruffier than usual, the truth is, according to a recent study commissioned by BIC Flex 4 disposable razors, that most men still prefer the clean-shaven, well-groomed look even in the heat of the summer. In fact, 93% of men shave the same or more often during summer as in other months. BIC understands how important a smooth, clean shave is to Canadian men and that’s why the company prides itself on providing top-of-the-line disposable razors like the BIC Flex 4, which features four blades, a pivoting head and a large, ergonomic handle.
Recently, my husband received a package of BIC Flex 4 razors to test out for himself. Like most Canadian men, he prefers a smooth, clean-shaven look even in the summer and the wonderful thing about BIC Flex 4 razors is that since they’re disposable, they’re perfect for taking along on a summer vacation.
My husband actually has quite sensitive skin, so having a razor that provides good moisturizing is very important to him. He loved the large lubricating strip of the BIC Flex 4 because it let the razor glide smoothly over his skin to minimize irritation. He also liked the independent spring-mounted blades, which made shaving awkward areas like his chin without nicking himself easier.
To help men across Canada enjoy that clean, well-groomed look, BIC has some tips to help ensure a smooth, close shave:
- Shave in the morning. Your skin is at its best after a night’s rest.
- Wash your face first. Clean skin will help prevent infection.
- Use hot water. Humidity and warmth increase skin elasticity and soften the toughness of hair.
- Apply shaving cream or gel in a circular motion. This softens and lifts your hair and smooths the skin for a closer shave with less irritation
- Use both hands: one to hold the razor and the other to pull and stretch your skin. BIC Flex 4 razors help in this area thanks to the rubber guard bar that gently stretches the skin for a more precise shave.
- Remember hair grows in different directions on your face. First go with the grain, and then go against the grain.
- Keep control. Use short strokes. Don’t press too hard. The four spring-mounted blades and pivoting head of the BIC Flex 4 help to distribute pressure and easily follow the sensitive contours of the face.
- Don’t forget to rinse. When you’re finished, rinse your razor under hot running water – it’s the most hygienic and effective way to clean it.
- Splash your face with cold water. It will close up your pores.
