Standard convention stinks.

Just for GAGS (grins and giggles) try this:

do a search for "bic". I wanted to see if anybody had anything to say about bic blades, but the search is limited to four or more letter searches only. I know this is a common limitation on searches the world over, but it's still annoying.

Ok, did you ever just smack your head and say "of course!" letterk, you are a freaking genius. I can't believe that escaped me.

micah, FWIW I'm trying out Bic blades right now, with mixed results so far. I'll review them once I've got a few more under my belt, but so far I've decided they don't like to be corked (giving me uncomfortable shaves in a '30s Gillette New and my Merkur Classic 1904), uncorked I got a few good shaves from them in the Merkur Classic 1904, and this morning an uncorked and uncomfortable shave in a '56 SS.
