That means there is a lot to hang onto, and also it doesn’t slide easily when held. It is larger than most other razors, and the difference between the thinnest and thickest parts of the handle is pronounced.
Part of that good grip also comes from the size of the handle. Surprisingly, given the lack of rubber grips so common on other razors, the BIC Hybrid Comfort 3 actually feels like it has better grip than just about any other razor we’ve held. On the bottom, there are dozens of carve-outs to give texture down the entire length of the razor. For grip, there are a number of raised bumps on the topside of the handle. You can barely feel the weight in your hand. This one is all plastic, from the grips to the connection point with the cartridge.īeing all plastic, the handle is extremely light. Most refillable razors have some mix of metal and plastic, with rubberized grips. The first thing that jumped out to us is that the handle for this razor is completely plastic. It offers some unique aspects we hadn’t seen elsewhere.
The design of the BIC Hybrid Comfort 3 is different from other razors we’ve tried. That’s a big plus because with this many razors you don’t want to have them rattling around loose in a drawer until you use them. Included in the cardboard and plastic pack (which can be recycled after opening) was the handle and a dozen razor cartridges.Ĭartridges came in groups of four, each in a plastic holder. Our razor, which was bought from Amazon, came in a retail packaging. Is there really a need for something in between? To see for ourselves, we bought a BIC Hybrid Comfort 3 and put it to the test. Disposables have their place, as do typical refillable razors. To be honest, it’s a strange niche to try to fill.
SCHICK XTREME 3 VS GILLETTE CUSTOM PLUS 2 UPGRADE
Meanwhile, it’s an upgrade from typical disposable razors, including better grip, three blades, and a pivoting head. Once you are done with the cartridges, you can toss the entire handle and then get a new one. Technically it’s a disposable razor but instead of tossing the entire thing at once, you change out the razor head like a normal reusable razor. Somewhere in between those two points is the BIC Hybrid Comfort 3. They serve their purpose, but most people wouldn’t want to use them as an everyday razor. Of course, they are as basic as shaving gets and are designed for a single use and then to be tossed. These, you can get in packs of five for $1. On the other end of the spectrum are the extremely cheap disposables. It’s not unusual to pay $3-4 for a cartridge on some of the fancier razors that also have a lot of bells and whistles you might not want. I didn't know single Jewish women manufactured razor blades.Let’s face it. Bonus - you get a trophy with every order. They are expensive, but guaranteed not to cause you any pain or discomfort.
If you are truly thin skinned I'd take a look at the Emo line from SJW Industries.
SCHICK XTREME 3 VS GILLETTE CUSTOM PLUS 2 SKIN
Perhaps if my skin is getting more thin and sensitive I'm wondering if I should move to Gillette products now? I had traditionally used no name single blade disposables since my skin was rather thick and resistant to irritation. There are many other online outlets and forums which dispense guidance regarding the care of overly sensitive thin skin. This thread has repeatedly shifted into medical advice, which per the policies is to be steered away from the forum. I had to google the commercial since I hadn't seen it. I just realized, people are actually deciding to boycott Gillette because they released a commercial that offended them They last me 2 or 3 shaves depending on growth. Amazon has a 100 pack of the Astra blades for About $10. About 8,9 years ago I got sick of Gillette crazy prices. You just can’t use much pressure, that’s why people cut themselves.ĭE safety razors are worth a try, just ease up with the razor pressure.īadabing!! Exactly where I wound up. I got started using Gillette safety razors back in the 60’s. I also think the Schick Hyro 5 is the best cartridge, beats the Gillette Fusion hands down. I like the Astra blade with my Parker 99R the best. I have tried many blades: Derby, Merkur, Astra, Feather. I have tried many razors: Gillette, Schick, Harry’s, Merkur safety, Parker safety. This makes for the best, smoothest shave IMO. I use a badger brush and Proraso tube shave cream. I very much agree with you about using good soap and a brush.
I personally prefer SE Razors and use a GEM Razor made in the 1920's. One of the best and cheapest things I've ever done. I moved away from using Mach 3 Razors probably 10 years ago. I know that a few of you mentioned that Single/Double Edege Razors (wet shaving) isn't for you.
