BIC
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- A cheap bic has solved the problem of reliable, portable fire.
- So maybe you need a sharper blade like a Feather or Bic or Personna/AccuTec.
- Get a cheap bic it will work when you need it even years in.
- I just pick up a cheap BIC from the gas station or grocery store if lost, stolen or empty. (They rarely go empty lol) They're practically available everywhere and it doesn't take up too much pocket space and is super lightweight for what...
- Sensitive skin needs sharp blades. If the blade is mild it will tug and cause razor burn. Feather, Nacet and Bic should work.
Cons
- I’ve already tried a bunch of popular blades (Astra, Personna, PermaSharp, Nacet, BIC, and a few others)
- I hated Bic and Shark (stainless and platinum).

Yep... Tbh, I think it's one of the most reliable and perfectly designed things, period. I always lose them before they run out of gas.
I’m rocking a Bic because it’s small, lightweight, cheap, and reliable.

The Bic has the blade retention and is quite sharp, but only Gillette Platinum and Feather can challenge Nacet on smoothness.
