There may be two new offerings from Bic. Saw a razor called US by Bic, sold as a unisex razor. Blades come in a four-pack for around $10 US. Didn't pay much attention to that, but when I looked into it, saw that it has a center pivot rather than a gate latch. That intrigued me enough that I bought one.
Have seen no ads for Us. The box bills it as a "Head to toe shave for all of us," which is clearly unisex, but doesn't creep me out. The "Head to toe shave" does. I'm an not into that sort of thing. It just gives me a creepy feeling.
I picked the silver handle. Yes, it has a metal handle, with a rubberized grip on the underside.
Opening it was a distinct Harry's Razors vibe. Inside it has "Where do you want to shave today?" which creeped me out more. But, unlike Harry's, the blade attachment seems more secure. I liked that. And yes, it does have a center pivot. I like that, too.
A Bic product, the razor is made in Greece.
Will be trying it out soon. My experience with Bic is mixed. Love the DE blades; hate the single blade disposables.
As to the why Bic came up with the Us, I think it's more a reflection on woman using "men's" razors, sometimes at a discount over "women's" products. I also think it's to appeal to the Harry's Razor users. And no, the razor doesn't look feminine at all. It's just a razor, and that's probably the point.
