complain an ye shall receive

So I went to Walgreens looking for the Bic Metals that everyone likes. Well, none of the 3 local ones had them (or even the empty spot where they should be) so I emailed Bic and asked where I could get some (someone had previously posted you'd get some free ones to boot). Less than a week later I find these in my P.O. Box:

Now that's fast service!
Oh, and they said this as well:
We are currently in the process of creating a new website where
consumers can purchase BIC Metal Shavers along with other hard-to-find
BIC products. We expect to have this website available by the end of
September.
Kudos to Bic!

That's good customer service!

So how do they shave?

[pibeandres]

Sorry, blame my cell phone. :001_rolle

I'm not sure, I'm still @ work (um, working hard too).

That's good customer service!

So how do they shave?

[sol92258]

wow, good job, nice score, and great information for us all

they shave well
they have the single blade performance of a DE, but they're very light - they are disposables, after all - and can lead to the temptation to use pressure; find the strength to fight that temptation, and you'll end up with a fine shave

I used these for about a month or so when I was weaning myself off of multi-blade disposables. Many have said they actually shave more like a Schick Injector than a DE. In any case, they were a good transition razor for me.

They are great for travel too. Especially when my DE blades get pinched by TSA:mad:

... well, it's a very big razor.

Pinched by the TSA?

I just flew in to Boston at the beginning of the week with a West Coast Shaving sampler in my Dopp kit and had no trouble with getting it through the checked baggage line. Didn't figure that I could get away with putting it in a carry on bag.

That's the rule. No problem in checked bags, but no go in carry-on. But, as one would expect, TSA doesn't always catch DE blades so some folks try it anyway.

I tried these Bic Metal one time and thought they were junk. Maybe I just got a bad batch though.

It's amazing what you can accomplish by means of a polite inquiry or complaint. Good job!

That's true. In a 2-martini fit of letter-to-the-CEO kind of stuff, I wrote to Timex asking why none of the men's watches (at the time) had indiglo AND date functions. Even though this was basically a semi-drunken rant for the sake of ranting and being semi-drunk, I got a letter explaining that they were being released at the time, a brochure, and a gift certificate that covered almost half the cost of the watch. :wink::biggrin:
