Best disposable razor

[keeptahoeblue]

Im going on a trip with only a carry on and I need a disposable razor. What one is best? I am looking for a single blade razor.

Any suggestions?

[jdudley76]

I usually go with BIC sensitive (orange handle). It will take a million passes to get BBS, but is a single blade and is not aggressive.

I would definately go for the Bic sensitive. Its a very undervalued razor and one I use, at home, a lot. It can be difficult to get a very close shave but thats not something I strive for anyway. Comfort over closeness everytime. Give them a try :001_smile

If you can find it, the BIC Metal is a great choice. It is almost like using a SE razor but in BIC disposable form. If you can't I think BIC makes some of the best disposable razors at a budget/travel price (since we are spending our money on AD). I would also like to point out that it depends on which country you are located in. I can't seem to find the BIC Sensitive because it is not available in the US (both single and double blade).

i really like the bic metal

[tom66]

another vote for the BIC.

BIC's are the ones I use and I am glad that my local Walgreen's is carrying the Metal again.

For me - Wilkinson Sword Pronto

If you really need something compact, you could order the Gillette Guard from one of our Indian eBayers. 24 refills are $12 shipped, two handles with four blades is about $8. It is a cartridge razor with very small carts. The Guard is a new product that is meant to convert the DE shavers in India with cheap carts and is much more compact than 12 Bic disposables. It actually doesn't shave bad for as cheap as it is made. I get mine from vishalmarket786.

the BIC wins :thumbup1:

My fav - Gillette custom plus.

Why not mail yourself a couple DE blades at the destination? well wrapped of course.

Just send them to yourself, care of (c/o) whatever hotel or private individual you are staying.

BIC Metal or Sensitive.

They are pretty darn good.

[TheVez2]

I've use both Bic Metal and Bic Sensitive. I think I slightly prefer the Sensitive.

Nonsence, I get BBS in 4 passes of a Bic just like my DE.

[kingfisher]

I like the Bic Sensitive, too, but I've never tried the Bic Metal. Not sure what the difference is.

Yes, you can get a good shave in the same number of passes that you normally use with your DE.

I got a pack of BIC metal at Walgreens. Haven't tried them yet.

I used Bic Disposables before I went DE and they are pretty good.
Also the Gillette Good News is pretty much a throwaway Trac II.

Most expensive disposable would be any Merkur.

+1 :lol::lol::lol:

[insomniac]

I've used the Twin (green handle, no "lubricating strip") and been quite happy with it. It's really like a disposable Trac 2.

[Pkrankow]

I tried a BIC metal today. I am dissapointed. I have stubble AND razor burn. Obviously I did something wrong, but I can't figure it out.

I checked last night and my source is out of everything as she has nothing for sale. I did find another source but am afraid to post it as both sources I have posted are now not selling them (likely at the "request" of Gillette). The Guard is still available online but I am going to make Gillette find the seller themselves rather than post the seller's ID here.

+ 1 on the BIC sensitive (orange handle), razor, if you can't take your reduced home shaving kit. :blushing:

There is also the Gillette Good News. I see those everywhere. Haven't used them before though.

[Rexall]

Has anyone tried the Persona Single Blade disposable, such as offered at Dollar Tree? They are yellow like the BIC , and the package compares it to the BIC.:001_huh:

[mikey]

Bic Comfort Twin

Thanks,

Gillette Good News in preference over BICs here.

[stobor]

+1, Bic Metal if you can find it, otherwise Bic Sensitive.

Personna also has a copy of that razor. I think five razors in a package were $2.29. Shipping is free at www.personna.alice.com but there is a minimum order of six items. There are also several other choices for disposable razors attached to handles that are not that expensive. I haven't used them (other than their DE blades), but others say Personna blades work pretty well.
