Bic blades newbie question??
Bic blades newbie question??
I am thinking of ordering a 50 or 100 pack of Bic DE blades, but before I do I was wondering if there is another blade I should try?
I really liked the Bic's, got a smooth shave and they lasted 5-6 shaves before I felt it dragging.
Thanks for the help. I had a sample pack and Bic was one of two that I liked. A lot did okay, but I think the Bic was the best so far.

Hi Jason.
You could try what I did. I like the Dorco 301 so I bought a pack of 100. I'll use these as the blade to come back to while I try others purchased via sample packs. Being able to come back to a trusted blade will be much easier on my face rather than trying sample after sample of blades that don't work, only to find out none do. I can rest assured my "next" blade will be a good one if that next blade is a Dorco 301, then I can sample another, always knowing that what works for me is standing by.
Make sense?

Stay with the BiC's for now, especially if you already like the shave you get from them.
Being able to really judge a blade is best done when one has really nailed down their technique. To many of the online reviews are suspect to me because you never really now the experience level of the reviewer.
Squire's reviews here on SMF have set a new standard and are somewhat more objective even then you will be the only one who can decide for yourself.

Great blades. I love 'em.
Bic
I use another blades by BiC - Astor . They are stainless steel, while BiC are chrome platinum.
This is the economy-priced brand, made in Greece.
The blades are known for many years in my country, and are one of the most used here. This version is the optimal price-quality.

In my local store 100 pcs are $8 .

Well I was going to order from Paul, but I'm on the wrong side of the pond. I'm sure they would ship to me if I paid them.Seamaster wrote:Get 'em from Paul at Connaught.Blades wrote:Best place to buy Bic blades, besides Ebay. I'd like to support someone we know.

I shaved with a Bic for the first time this morning and got a nice smooth shave. Initial impression is that they are not quite at the level of my favorites like Super Iridiums and Swedes but I could be quite happy with these Bics as well. I look forward to using these again and seeing how they hold up after a few more shaves.
Get a bulk order of Bic's if you like them. Only warning I'd have on this blade is that, at least for me, they are very razor specific. By that, I mean they work great is some razors and feel very rough in others. All blades do this to some extent, but Bic's more than most in my experience. If you stay with just the Merkur, you should be set forever. If you decide to try other razors you may want to look at other blades again.

Good to know about the Bic's. I am using a Gillette comb razor now, and have been for a few months. I had a few other razors to try, but the Bic blade in the Gillette worked very well- I might just stick with it.ChemErik wrote:Get a bulk order of Bic's if you like them.
