Was at a Walgreen's the other day, looking for something new in the shave aisle, when I saw 2 bags of Bic Metal disposable razors. I had never seen them before, and since they are single blade, I decided to give them a try.
They are really basic single blade disposables with a metal guard bar across the front. Very thin design, I don't have a goatee or mustache but the super thin head would be perfect for trimming.
I have shaved with a Rolls Razor, Superspeed, Tech, Gem, Schick, and all the new ones too...Fusion, Quattro, Sensor, Mach 3. I would say that the Bic Metal razor out-shaves any new razor hands down, and (this is going to sound crazy) is a close second to my DE razors!? Crazy. What gives?
Now I know this may only last one shave (I just tried it) but I was stunned by the closeness of the shave and lack of irritation. There is something else too...it's the way this razor feels on your face, hard to describe but there is something about it that feels really good. This coming from a guy that loves heavy razors, I just prefer a hefty razor in my hand.
Maybe it's the metal bar guard or the fact that it is so thin and can be maneuvered anywhere on your face with ease, I'm not sure what it is, but this cheap, disposable, lightweight, plastic with a tiny bit of metal-razor just works!
Anyone else here ever try one?
