As part of BiC Flex 4 new ad campaign, the company better know for making pens and lighters have created a spoof ad that takes a clear shot at their razor blade competitors. In the satirical spot titled 'Roborazor', BiC invents a fictional hands free shaving experience that includes 11 rotating micro blades. Ironically, the company that invented the first ball point pen is not the first advertiser to create a parody advert about the razor blade industry and their drive to out do each other with their so called leading edge shaving technology - remember Gillette's 'MagmaCore Extreme'.
