If you’re a fan of the show Pawn Stars, then you’ve more than likely seen an infomercial for the Micro Touch One “Classic” Safety Razor. ... It’s too bad that it took an infomercial to get it done. ‘course, having switched to an DE razor over a year ago, I was intrigued by the model being pushed by Rick Harrison.
...However, when it comes to build quality and feel, neither the Micro Touch One nor the Shaving Factory razor are in the same class as my Edwin Jagger Barleycorn.
...I was pleasantly surprised to see that it worked just as well with my Edwin Jagger Barleycorn as it did with the cheap Shaving Factory and Micro Touch razors. ... Although I’ve got nearly 1.5 years worth of Derby Extra blades on hand, I decided to give the Micro Touch One a try with the Dorco blades.
...She did comment that it wasn’t as close a shave as the ones I get with my Edwin Jagger Barleycorn.
...My normal five minute two pass shave went without a catch or nick but it definitely took a bit more work to get a baby bottom smooth wife-approved shave. ... Although the Micro Touch One is still too mild for my taste, using it with Derby Extra blades resulted in a nice close shave, much more in line with the shave I get with my Edwin Jagger Barleycorn.
...It’s very mild and adequate as a beginner DE safety razor as long as it’s used with a quality blade. ... Frustration will definitely be a factor since someone who treats the Micro Touch One like an ordinary cartridge razor or disposable will either get many nicks and/or an awful shave.
...A basic twist-to-open DE safety razor similar to the Micro Touch One can be found on amazon.com for between $5.00 and $15.00, depending on the model and seller. ... Despite that, when you factor the cost of the razor, stand and blades together, $19.99 plus tax for the Micro Touch One isn’t that bad a deal. But, the Micro Touch One is a very mild razor and anyone who switches to old school shaving entirely will quickly outgrow it and invest in a nice razor like my Edwin Jagger Barleycorn.
