I just used one of these yesterday and wow what a great shave I got! This is the best single blade throwaway razor I’ve ever used. The blade on these is way sharp! I was very happy today discover them at the local Fred Meyers. Nice discovery!

These had a big following here on the forums back in the day. The orange plastic ones took over the single blade market and for a while the Metals were hard to find.
Have you tried the Gillette Guard? That is the best of them all, imo.

Picked up a pack of 5 Bic Metal Bar at TJ MAxx recently for $3, so they are still around. I've used the Bic plastic and metal over the years for quick overnight trips when I don't carry any real kit, and also put some in the guestroom bath for guests. I like the metal bar ones a little better; glad you got a great shave from one.

No I’ve never used the Gillette Guard but I’ve read a lot of good things about them. They’re popular in India I believe.

I smell like a Christmas pudding
The Bic metal is the best disposable I have ever used. I like the fact it is single bladed, fixed head, and very sharp, as I suspect this forces me to maintain good DE shaving technique when I use it. That way bad habits do not creep in.
Thought I would try one day, but DE/SE/Barber Razor released more of the happy chemicals before that day hit.
The Bic Twin Select II Sensitive Skin razor is pretty good, though.

I got a 12 pack of these at the local supermarket for $3. Haven’t shaved with one yet, but it looks promising as it appears very sharp and not prone to clogging like most carts, very DE-like!
Funny, I got a pack from TJ Maxx a couple of months ago but still havent tried it. They had several, all with different prices on the tags! I think I paid $4.
I buy them at Dollar General all the time.

The Bic Metal is the best disposable I have found. Easy, no muss no fuss and a decent shave. Good for travelling when you don't want to bring the whole kit.
Finally got around to trying one of these when I ran into another bad Voskhod in my 56 Tech. Used it for second pass and touch-ups only.
Wow, what a nice little razor! It’s very intuitive to use and very efficient without feeling aggressive or dangerous at all. I’m going to do a full shave with it next time to be certain, but if the whole next shave is as good as the last half shave I may just stick to using these alone!

I use these for travel when I don’t check a bag. Excellent single blade disposable. I bought a box of 30 on Amazon for about $12US a couple of years ago. Should last me for years.
