Best Disposable?
- Thread starter pinkpony

Bic Sensitive single blade, Trac II or a Trac II clone, Sensor with 2 blades.
Gillette Guard seems like a good option
See if you can find the Lord disposable razor. It came free with their emofresh cream. I gave it to a visiting friend who'd forgotten his razor at home and he absolutely loved it.
Bic Metal
Bic Metal and Gillette Good News.
schick extreme 3. they last for months
Personna Bump fighter handle and Wilkinson Sword Trac II compatible carts from Walmart or the CVS brand.
I'd go with the Bic.
"The only GOOD disposable is a DEAD disposable!"
Seriously, I used Trac2s for years and probably still would if Gillette had not discontinued manufacturing the handles and jacking up the cart prices. I still have quite the stash of Trac2 carts but my Wife has been the only one to use any of them for the last year.
If I "had to" go back to carts I would probably try to go back to Trac 2s. Straights and DEs are much better options though!

The Guard is a great option. The Italian Barber sells the razor and the refills (but they're out of both right now). Otherwise there's seller's on Ebay. I think I bought 2 razors and 14 refills for $10 or $11 shipped. It came from India, though, so it took a while.
The Guard makes a BBS a no-brainer. It's so easy to get a great shave with one that it makes a great travel razor, when your shaving setup might not be optimum.
When I was a teenager (mid 1980's) a cousin of mine gave me a no-name disposable that he bought at a military PX while on base. The shave was so great I started searching for the equivalent razor in the store. The closest I could come was the Gillette Good News Twin Blade.
Whenever I can't use my normal shaving gear, I still use Good News....usually with bar soap.
Trac II or Gillette Good News
Definitely the blue 2/ good news for me - I think they're better than most of the generic/ store brand trac ii carts I've tried, and they seem to last a long time without becoming uncomfortable.
I really tried to love the bic sensitives, but they never really got close enough for me.

I have more experience with the BIC Metal and like them a lot, but two of the best shave I have ever gotten with any razor have nee with the BIC Sensitives.
