H&SCo. Z074-ti

When people on the forums talk about Bic blades, they are definitely referring to the Bic Chrome Platinums.  Fantastic blades when I tried them, years ago.  I bought a boatload of Polsilvers, and I haven’t used them all up yet, so I haven’t used one in a long time, but I remember that I really liked them.

Yes, Bic Chrome.  As kingfisher says, what most people mean by Bic (never have tried the Astor, not sure I've any desire to).  Anyway, JoeLR, message me your address and I'll also send you a package of Bics.  I've got plenty.

Much appreciated Lesser but I already have a couple Bic Chrome Plats, and some other blades, ordered from Try-a-Blade.  Thanks also for the heads-up about a blade I never would have considered.

It's -- the Bic is - what I used today and got a stellar shave from the Z0. For me at least, it works.

Can anyone explain the difference between the ZO74 which has a neutral blade exposure, and the NO75 which also has a neutral blade exposure.  So the gap is .74 vs .75, is that the only difference?

1st off the Z074 is titanium which has the lighter feel than the NO75 which is stainless steel.. Also the Z074 is smoother than the NO75 which has a little bit more blade feel.. The NO75 is still very smooth but you just feel the blade a little bit more and it may be a slight more efficient

For anyone looking for a stand. Timeless 14MM is perfect. Shown below is the polished titanium variety

Interesting to know. I thought more people were saying that the efficiency of the Z074 was greater than that of the N075.

I haven't had the N075 in quite some time, but for me, no....N075 more efficient, but as stated, also had blade feel.  I wasn't quite in agreement with its description of being neutral.  YMMV.

The Z074-ti, otoh, is most definitely neutral blade exposure to my skin, and not quite as efficient.  It's all about what you're looking for.  I have been searching for a smooth Ti DE that I want to use daily, and the Z074-ti is it for me.  May not be for others wanting blade feel or greater efficiency.  It's all good though.  We live in times with plenty of choice at all price points.

For me
Blade feel PO76 Ti>> NO75 SS > ZO74Ti> NO75 aluminum
Efficiency PO76 Ti >> NO75 SS> NO75 aluminum > ZO74 Ti

Thanks, both. Good to know! I was actually hoping it was more efficient than the N075. Glad I can take this off my list.
