Very interesting, thanks naughtilus and RayClem.
Where did you order BIC ? Careful with fakesI'm just getting into DE shaving after receiving a Rockwell 6C as a gift. Started going through a sample pack; Bic Chrome Platinum was the fourth blade I tried and it was a "Eureka!" feeling. Maybe I jumped the gun but I ordered 100. Very sharp, but still feel smooth to me. It seems to me the sharpness actually helps with smoothness, since there isn't any pulling or chattering trying to get through my coarse beard; just sweeps it away. I tried the Feather blades but for some reason even though they are sharp, Feathers felt scratchy on my skin. I'm sure my technique needs a lot of work but for now I'm quite happy with Bic. When I first started shaving I quickly settled upon Bic disposables, which were fairly new at the time. Maybe my skin is tuned to the Bic edge profile
From Amazon seller with lots of positive reviews. Haven't got into the packs yet. Next shave will be the first from the carton. (edit: missed the "fake" descriptions on previous page. Mine have the greek verbiage so hopefully they're legit and will perform as well as my sample blades)Where did you order BIC ? Careful with fakes

Where did you get them?Well, I feel I may have gotten fakes. The tucks had the full writing, but the blade I tried just didn't have the same ease. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't that great. The wrapper is also fairly different in color, more of an orange compared to the sample blade's yellow wrapper. I'll try a few more of these but maybe I need to find a more reliable source?
I bought the 100 I got from razor blades club but have nothing to compare too as these 100s are the first I buy. They are for me insanely sharp and I think they need to be paired with the right razor. So not sure if fake or not but by the sharpness I guess they are the real deal. I would not hesitate to use up these 100. Think I have used 10 blades already in rotations with other brands. Please see image under for reference on Bics from razor blades club.Anyone tried BIC from razor blades club? Are they legit?
