I have one derby extra that I was let know to give a try from tryablade. It was very incouraging to give derby a try as one of my top picks. I guess that person on b&b who wrote to me knew what they were talking about. Funny how that works. I still know bic is my go to for my next order soon.literally could not be more untrue
No, they are worse. At least a Derby cuts hair without pulling. Maybe I got a bad batch, but these are absolutely the worst blades I’ve ever used. I remember trying them years ago and it was so so and inconsistent. The batch I recently bought is unusable. If anyone wants my 90+ blades, just pay shipping and i’ll send them to you. Honestly, I wouldn’t wish these on anyone.No comparison. Bics are about as sharp as Derbys.
Thanks for sharing, I read most of the article on bic blades. I am not sure who wrote this article, very informative. And I did not read this article before putting up this thread, just to be clear!

Bics don't impress me for sharpness or smoothness. On my face, they are not the worst but far from the best. I've never wanted to test their durability.
@johnwick that's great to hear. Your handle johnwick, i have watched all three now. They are among my favoritesI have used only one BIC from a sampler but I found it to be a terrific blade!
I finished shave # 19 on a Bic Chrome platinum this morning. It was a 9/10 after 18 consecutive 10/10 shaves.I do not know anything about Nacets, as have not tried them. Did not do any reading on bic blades until I used the one blade that I had used twice. And found bic razor blades to be nearly as sharp, or as sharp, much more smoother, a much cleaner blade when rinsing ( no skin cells or soap residue ) than feathers. Nacets may be a better alternative as ymmv everybody here. I am happier with bic blades and think it just seems to get the job done better than feathers for my face. Now after using bic I did do some research and found some interesting information on the web, one article claims they are sharper than feathers. I don't know, but I do seem to like a close shave every time. I used Wilkinson sword soap the first shave with my CH2 synthetic, I could not believe the shave I got with this combo using bic, second shave used a fresh half blade everything the same except used proraso soap with pro boar brush with same results. No nicks nor cuts of any sort as well as my technique has progressed. I have tried about only 7-8 different blades and bic comes on top for me. I have to say i really like a clean environment when shaving including the razor blade looking like new after I used it. Even though I toss it next day and replace blade for my shavette. I just do not feel like replacing a dirty blade after I just shaved, just not my way. As of the longevity of bic blades is unknown to me, I'm thinking 3-5 shaves max I would use them in my de razors in that manor. Even though people here may get less or more shaves. The max I will go is 5 anyway with de razor or shavette.
Same thing happened to me. I used 4 so far and every one of them cut a little better than Astra SP(SPs barely cut my hair). I bought some Gillette Sharp Edges recently and I love those blades.Heard a lot of Nacet praise , bought 100, they pretty much sit unused . Prefer the BIC.
