Bic Flex 5 razor

The BIC Flex 5 is a high-performance disposable razor produced by the French manufacturing giant BIC. Originally founded in 1945 by Baron Marcel Bich and Édouard Buffard in Clichy, France, the company became globally famous for its affordable ballpoint pens and lighters before revolutionizing the grooming industry with the first one-piece disposable razor in 1975.

Today, BIC's shaving products are largely manufactured in Greece, which serves as the brand's primary global hub for blade technology and production, though some assembly still occurs in France and other regional facilities to meet global demand. BIC remains an independent, publicly traded company on the Euronext Paris exchange, with the Bich family continuing to hold a significant ownership stake and leadership role through their holding vehicles, ensuring the brand maintains its long-standing French heritage and focus on affordable, high-quality consumer goods.
