    Hmmm.
    I was in a local Dollar Tree yesterday and they only had cartridge razors.
    I might have to hit a few different locations.

    TTO or Tech clone?

    It might be worth it to check out to leave at work or for travel. Thanks.

    Are they under the Assured or Vincent brand name?

    Assured, I think. TTOs.

    I have a few.
    The blades aren't very sharp, but for a buck, who complains.
    They will break easily, but with a good blade they shave as good as any medium-low efficiency (read aggressive) TTO razor.
    Mine are all Assured brand.

    I have a Dollar Store special and it is an Assured one but have seen them sold under the Vincent brand also at another Dollar Store. Personally I think the Dollar Store specials get a bad wrap by people who never used them but think they have to be garbage because they are so cheap. The blades that come with them are but use a decent blade in one and they are just as good as any run of the mill Weishi or Baili TTO style razor.

    I have an Assured that has been in use a couple of years. For a buck, no complaints. It shaves.

    I'd also add that when I got mine it was straight and even out of the package. I've heard of other users saying they got ones that didn't load blades straight among other issues out of the box. Whether those are the outliers or my experience is I couldn't say but for a $1 plus tax I think it is worth rolling the dice on.
