          I've used them too. It's not about possibility... it's about the quality of the shave you get. There's just no comparison of a cheap BIC to a good razor.

            Not in my case. I'm old enough to have years of experience with electrics and blades of all sorts.

            I get a better shave with any blade over electric.

            The difference in quality between a high price blade and a cheapie is not worth the difference in price.

            That said, I will concede I have reasonable whiskers (not wirey or thick) and this of course makes a difference.

              No argument here.

              No doubt. I'm more towards the wires, and a bad razor is somewhat akin to waxing instead of shaving.

                So you're saying BIC isn't the best a man can get?

                I'm starting to see why someone spends a fortune on advertising.

                  I don't get "five o'clock shadow" until the next day.

                    **** is ****.

                    I've tried most razors and use the one that works best for me. BICs don't work for me at all. Painful, irritating, poor results, and takes way too long to boot. I'll spend a few dollars more a year to have a pleasant experience instead, thanks.

                    I don't buy anything because of advertising... at least not since I was 12, which was when I bought my last pair of Jordan sneakers...

                        five o'clock shadow?

                        What is that?

                          A man with a Five o'clock shadowA five o'clock shadow is beard growth visible late in the day on a man whose face was clean-shaven in the morning. The term comes from the traditional nine-to-five workday hours.

                          During the 1980s, inspired largely by the then-popular television series Miami Vice and its unshaven lead character, James "Sonny" Crockett (Don Johnson), two-day stubble gained not only social acceptance, but even popularity. This is also known as designer stubble, particularly if it is groomed, shaped, and maintained as a regular beard would be.

                          The most famous politician in history to sport a five o'clock shadow, at a time when it was still considered a faux pas, was U.S. president Richard Nixon, who is said to have lost the 1960 presidential election in part due to his unfortunate stubbled appearance during the televised United States presidential election debates with John F. Kennedy.

                              Well, to be honest, I guess I too am in Jahper's group - I only shave every 3 or 4 days. With the American Indian blood in me - the whiskers refuse to grow....I STILL cannot grow a beard even if I wanted to and I will soon be 45 yrs old!

                              But on the plus side, the same razor blade lasts me at least 1.5-2 months.

                                I can skip a day if I'm going to be in the office. We are a small firm and no one really cares if I have some "shadow".
