I have used mine for the last 2 days and I was blown away by it...for a dollar, the razor itself and the blade is superb!!👍👍👍👍

I found the razor wasn’t too bad of a shaver but the blade didn’t agree with me. The razor works much better in my opinion with a better quality blade like a Gillette Nacet or Red Personna. Still you can’t beat it for $1! Thanks for Watching!

I love my Assured Dollar Tree razor. It definitely has a place in my rotation. It's basically the "as seen on TV" MicroTouch One safety razor from a couple of years ago. Those retailed for at least $19. So, Dollar Tree offers a low end all metal safety razor for buck. It's a good deal; however, the blades that come with the razor are the worst blades I've ever used. It is most certainly the blade that caused the "over-aggressiveness" . I wished you'd popped in a different blade for your second pass so we could see how the razor performs with a real blade in tow.

It does seem to shave much better with a better blade like a Astra or Red Personna . The Silo Doors though have a problem closing properly in my experience lately. It’s not a razor that will last a long time but not bad to pick up in a pinch. I still use mine from time to time. Thanks for Watching!

The razor is made out of copper, I have one where the chrome plating missed a spot and the copper shows through which explains why it's so lite and cheap.
@brianthefloridian6254
@brianthefloridian6254 3 года назад
I was thinking it possibly could be made from some kind f base metal like brass but never thought of copper. The chrome plating so far has held up on the one I have. It’s a decent razor for only a $1. Have a great week & thanks for watching 👍😎

I only have 1 Wickham 1912 Soap. It is pretty darn wonderful. Glad you used the blade that it came with. Push the door down after blade leaded to even the cap out.

Thanks for uploading. I'm based in the UK, and I'd be interested to look into this soap by Wickham, Wickham being an English artisan if not mistaken. For sure, you sounded quite happy with this soap and the lather looked VERY dense with a lot of sheen. By & large you are right, it is suspect, let's say, when blade manufacturers don't at all identify their blades with any markings, writing on the blade. *But*, you will find that the Kai razor blades (the actual blade) are completely without any writing, any logos not anything on the Kai blades to identify them as "Kai". Yet, they're considered one of the best (for some even smoother & sharper than the Feather ones) blades available for DE razors. So, yes blades without any markings, 9.9 times out of 10 -- suspect, dubious! But not always. (If you ever buy Kai blades, source them from a reliable source, exactly because other than the box, packaging clearly identifying them as Kai, the blades themselves don't say they are Kai.) Cheers!

@brianthefloridian6254 5 лет назад
Thanks for watching! Wickham soaps are fantastic soaps & I really want to obtain more of them! I believe the Artisan is from the UK. I’ve tried Kai blades and they are 10 times better than the blade I used in this video. This blade I used wasn’t that smooth & tugged from the very beginning of the Shave but for $1 I wasn’t expecting much. Have a great week! Brian

@Dave Ponsford Thanks Dave! I have a funny feeling I spoke too soon about the availability of the Union Wickham soap here in the UK. Already been to their website, not a sign of this Union soap. I could be wrong, but I think Wickham's Union soap might only be available in the States. I have Wickham's Russian Imperial Leather (a wonderful take on the trad. English soap, Imperial Leather hand soap). A cracking good shaving soap in all respects, and the matching a/shave splash to go with it. Yes, v. good stuff. Cheerio.

Entertaining! I've seen that $1 dollar razor at dollar tree several times. I can't even bring myself to spend $1 for it! A penny saved... I figured there'd be a review of it on RU-vid. There are bargains occasionally at dollar tree, in wet shaving. Not sure this is one of them. Last week they had Art of Shaving sample packs. Each pack contains pre shave oil, cream and post shave balm. Easily enough for 1 or 2 shaves. Worth a buck. The aftershaves are worth a buck too. Thanks for posting the video, saved me a dollar. Don't waste a good blade in that razor. Your face is worth more than that.

It actually wasn’t too bad of a Shave when I put an Astra in it to shave with a little while back. It’s probably a good travel razor since it isn’t much of a loss if you leave it behind. I’ll stick to using my RazoRock GameChanger & Karve Razor. I will have to stop by Dollar Tree to check out & see if they have any Art Of Shaving sample packs! Thanks for Watching! Brian

My dollar tree doesn't carry these!!! I have checked about a thousand times... I want to try one of these just for the fun of it and the price can't be beat. I have been wondering how close it really is to the Weishi 9306 models/Van Der Hagen (my daily driver)/micro touch one.

@kwangnam9993

This is much lighter than my other razors but it shaved just as good or better than them. I’ve tried it with Shark stainless blade. I was really impressed.

I got two of them and it works pretty good for a dollar. But the blades that came with it isn't worth a dime. So I use Voskhod blades in my and they work good in it for me.
@brianthefloridian6254
@brianthefloridian6254 5 лет назад
Yep, the blades that came with them were not smooth & dragging from the get go. I guess that’s what you get to expect for $1. I’m going to try this razor with a good decent blade like my favorite, Pol Silver to see how well the razor really shaves. Thanks for Watching! Brian

It looks very similar to the Van Der Hagen Safety Razor but the Dollar Tree Razor isn’t as smooth or mild as that razor.

There will be a bloodletting. Try again with a "real" blade and let us know how it does then. Maybe should've tried a different blade on the third pass.

Yes, I agree! This razor is definitely on the cheap side but I’ve had worst shaves from more expensive razors. This razor isn’t too bad but not going to be in my rotation anytime soon. It will probably go in my travel bag as a travel razor. Thanks for Watching! All the Best! Brian
