BIC Sensitive Shaver Disposable Razor (Pack of 12)
This single-blade razor is a "tried and trusted" favorite for men's shaving, Eggenberger says. Coming in a pack of 12, the brand says that each razor's blade is designed for a soothing, comfortable shave and won't cause razor bumps or nicking.

"If this product was compared to sports, it would be Michael Jordan of the ‘90s Chicago Bulls," Eggenberger says.
