1. A shaving implement for facilitating shaving of facial hair, wherein the shaving implement comprises a cutting portion comprising a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, wherein the cutting portion is configured to be transitioned between a straight configuration and at least one bent configuration based on an application of at least one external force on the cutting portion,
wherein the transitioning of the cutting portion from the straight configuration to the at least one bent configuration forms at least one bend in the cutting portion along a length of the cutting portion,
wherein the forming of the at least one bend shapes the cutting portion in at least one shape, wherein the cutting portion retains the at least one shape after a removal of the at least one external force, wherein the cutting portion comprises a blade slot;
a single blade;
wherein the cutting portion is configured for receiving the single blade in the blade slot and securing the single blade in the blade slot,
wherein, upon receiving and securing the single blade in the blade slot, the cutting portion is configured for bending the single blade in at least one blade shape for conforming the single blade to the at least one bend based on the forming of the at least one bend, wherein the shaving implement comprises only one blade,
wherein the single blade does not operationally engage with any other blade to achieve the shaving of the facial hair using the shaving implement, wherein the single blade bent in the at least one blade shape is configured to fit a contour of a spot on a user's face, wherein a movement of the single blade, while in continuous contact with a skin of the user's face across the spot results in shaving of the facial hair.
