I don't think the razor matters, some of the blades are just crap.
Criminal!

i did create a thread about the BIC Chrome Platinum on B&B and it does remind me of voskhod as in some people sy theyr good and some say theyre rough and not so good, obviously YMMV but seems like QC i reckon
i actually think these BIC blades are the second sharpest out there with feather beign number one

I have pretty much stuck with the same blade for several years and, whilst its become more consistent generally, i still have shaves from time to time when i think "WTF ?"
I nowadays rank prep and blade angle / blade pressure as far more important than i used to do, equal to other factors such as razor type or blade type, although do accept that we all can find particular blades that suit us and our hair / skin type more than other blades do.

I use those blades in my leaf razor, cheap and cheerful and does the job. Thats all I ask from them TBH.

Used them today to double check whether it was criminal or not.
TBH, had a good shave. Not anywhere near a Nacet, but not that bad. Better than a Voshkod, but as I have found out, and everyone says, YMMV.
Absolutely fine in my Tech. Maybe it just doesn't pair well with the razor that you used?

Seems to be a crap shoot with quality control. I tossed mine rather than gamble, I have plenty of blades that I can trust to work every time.

Not sure why....
I got some of those left bought them in 2012 (direct from Greece) - always nice and sharp .... same packaging.

I find them a great shave, can even go 4 shaves at a push on 1 blade and that's a lot for me

In my case it was the bow!
I've just had a delightful shave with one of these BIC Chrome Platinums in a Leaf Twig. Sharp and efficient, and put me very much in mind of the Lord Platinum. I'm intrigued to try a further blade in another razor now.
