I just saw an ad on tv for www.onerazor.com I like the price and the fact that it's not some guys idea to create a auto order blade system. It can't be the greatest quality, but it's a low cost entry into the DE market.
For a few dollars more you could upgrade to a much better razor. Maggards. RazoRock. Edwin Jagger. Vintage Gillette.
If you want that razor, just get a Weishi from amazon. $12-$13...same razor without the Dorco blades.
They're good razors. My favorite TTO, actually. You can get them at a lot of stores in the As Seen On TV section, but not the shaving section. If you want to wait you can get them on Ebay for about half the price.
I think they are sold at target also. Here they are listed on e-bay http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...nkw=micro+touch+one+razor&ghostText=&_sacat=0
Here is another look at this razor. I am not saying it's a bad razor, but do your research. http://sharpologist.com/2014/08/desertions-razor-blade-wars.html Interesting article.
50 years from now these will be referred to as the 'Pawn version' and NIB will go for crazy money on eBay - which is now located on Mars.
After starting with the very similar VanderHagen I would say that it is a good jumping off point but I don't think that it would make a good go to razor.
It can work but is a VERY mild razor. I bought into the "hype" with the MTO because it was cheap, readily available, and if it didn't work out I wasn't out much. As I said though, now that I've had some experience and practice with my vintage superspeeds and new Merkur 34c, I decided to give it another try. If you(I) have any more than one days growth, it is too mild and I really need to work at getting a good shave. My first shave with the 34c came out better than any shave I've had with the MTO.
So true. I wish I'd a bought a truck load of Gillette 195's back when they we're $1.95. Guess I better load up on Micro Touch One NIBs now while they're still under $20!
Don't We All. I think my Father had several plus some great Straight Razors and Stops and Shaving Mugs,(that were his Fathers) But the Wicked Witch of the North aka his wife. Gave them all to my worthless Scu$# Bag Brother in Law!
IK, but it’s my thread, and I thought I’d circle back to check on them, so hopefully we can overlook the necromancy.
