So funny to see you disappointed with the lack of burn from the aftershave. The burn is part of the shave. It has to be there.

Hi, yes great work Ken. I guess it's natural/instinctive being used to lather, but for many cartridge shavers (I include myself here) there are often certain shave creams and gels that don't lather and don't need to as such, but are still slick, etc. But it was great to try anyway. Kind regards.

I want to thank you for "No Shave November" . For cancer awareness. Last year I was diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus. I had surgery in June followed by chemotherapy then radiation and more chemotherapy which ended in December. I get periodic CT scans and blood test which so far have been clear. The point I'm trying to make is to get checked out. My wife stayed after me to get a check up and I did. The surgeon told me that without the surgery I would have been dead in less than two years. So again thank you Ken.

I found that razor at the Dollar Tree. I bought 5. Gave a couple away along with a tuck of Astra Green blades. Using this razor with a good blade and it isn't bad. I used Gillette Silver Blue and Taylor of Old Bond Street St James Collection and got a good shave. Granted, I wouldn't and don't use it any more but it works. Good travel razor if you are prone to loosing your equipment.

I bought the same razor a few months back at Dollar Tree. It's an okay razor for traveling or for camping just make sure not to over tighten it, the one side popped up and I was able to pop things back into place. I bought one for my sister to try because she can't use anything that has a lubricating strip on it. I would use it with my favorite Wilkinson Sword blades.

Sean Roberts there’s a theory that it gets better/sharper once you start shaving more -like getting the blade started- but it’s all phoney. Even if so, then you get 2-3 shaves before it’s dull. I’d rather shave 2-3 times with a sharp DE razor than 7-10 times with a mediocre but cheap razor. It’s a give or take/quality over quantity deal.

They're obviously cheap, but it's perfectly adequate to shave with. Not everybody can afford to spend $60+ on a razor, blades, soap, brush, bowl, etc. For $1 you can't beat this. Spend another $4 on 100 Treet/Lord blades, or $7 for 100 Astra/Shark, $5 for some real shaving cream, and for

I can appreciate the venture into just how much of a low budget shave we can find but, that is not the objective for most of us in the DE wet shaving hobby. I moved long ago from the cartridge shave and a can of foam to the luxury of a very high quality vintage DE shave using the very best in quality soaps. Enjoying taking my time to savor the experience. Ken, I know you agree with that position. Yet, it can be fun to see how much we can save and still get a good shave. Meanwhile, we may have switched to DE shaving initially to quit paying for those expensive cartridges but most of us end up acquiring multiple razors, trying a wide variety of blades and enjoying many fine soaps as we learn we have acquired a new hobby and one worth the additional costs. Full disclosure here; I also went to the dollar store and purchased the least expensive shaving products just for the experience. Then quickly went back to enjoying the full experience of the quality vintage shave.

My wife picked me up one of these as an alternative to years and years of using the Gillette's fusion cartridge razors and i must say that I am now hooked on wet shaving with the safety razors. I am trying to decide which razor i will be purchasing next to start off a propper collection. I want to go with either a fat boy, rockwell, or edwin jager.... would love some feed back to stear a rookie in the right direction.

Those razors are decent for a buck, I donate them (along with a supply of decent blades) to monks in Thailand. Just put your favorite blade in them for yourself. My dollar tree has everything for shaving including the razor, shave gels, after shave balm and a small lather brush. I've used it all and it's ok. Most surprising is the after shave balm works nicely but doesn't break me out. Entertaining Ken, thank you.

Wow !!! I would have passed up on that razor if I was to see it in the dollar store. Now I want to go out and get one for My travel shaving kit.Thanks for trying :)

The Omega brush is not expensive but is a great brush. It needs breaking in and a good soaking before use but is an excellent brush. I used to shave with a badger till last week when I switched back to my old Omega brush. It was surprising soft, probably because it was well used and it makes a very good leather. The Omega professional boar brush is under appreciated for no good reason.

Hope everything works out for your family members. Cremo makes a shaving "cream" similar to the product you just used. It takes some getting used to & relies on slickness rather then cushion, but it seems to work. I've gotten some really good shaves with it. Those time when you've forgotten to soak your brush or know you don't have the time to rinse it out after the shave. Viking makes a cream that applies with a brush, but any lather is designed to quickly disapate and leave behind a very slick coating that you shave with. I haven't used it yet, but all their other products I own work great so I'd be willing to give it a go.

One thing to watchout for i the silo popping open if you tighten it too tight.. Had that happen to me but it actually does an ok job. I have my $1 one to my 4 year old (without blade) so he can shave with me. I lather his face with the brush and he laughs because it tickles him.

I've shaved with one of those Assured razors, and was surprised at how well it worked for a buck; I used an Astra than their blade though. It's quite light and had a lot of audible feedback, but it cut hair and I didn't bleed, so I had to call it a success. It as an experiment rather than having any expectation that it would find a spot in my daily rotation. I still have it and would be willing to use it as a cheap travel razor that I wasn't concerned about losing.

Great shave. I heard that countries that produce DE blades like China, Russia, India and Egypt still mostly have DE shaving as their population's main shaving method. I think it's likely because they still enjoy the method or because cartridge razors barely bring in profits in these countries. It's my best guess, but that's for you to decide.
