This blade is in our opinion one of the best all-rounders in South Africa when you consider price, availability, comfort and blade retention. Be sure to test this one out to use as your everyday blade.
This blade offers a good close and comfortable shave with very little blade feel. Didn't give me irritation at all. It is a good reliable sharp blade.
These are sharp quality blades. A firm favorite amongst many, for good reason.
First off, for those wondering, these blades are made for BIC by a factory in Greece. They're not South African, just sold here.
I must say I was pleasantly surprised by these blades, since we all know how BIC's ballpoint pens are.
In combination with Arko shave soap and a Gillette Super Speed razor, it provided a very comfortable and close shave. If I had to choose a locally sold alternative to my favourite Minora Platinums, I would have to choose these.
I've used all the blades in the variety pack, and somehow left the Bic for last as the ball point connotation somehow made it seem cheap and 'throw away'. WELL, was I surprised. By far the most comfortable and sharp blade I used, and that includes Feather. One light pass and done for every day shave. 2 light passes and smoothhh.
No scraping away. And they last way over a week! Well done Mzansi!!
Solid blade that does the job over and over again. May not win any awards, but a solid dependable option.
