MicroTouch One Ultra Review.....

Shortly after ordering my Weishi online and getting word that it had shipped, I saw a commercial for this safety razor featuring Rick Harrison off of the hit tv show Pawn Stars. This razor sold out rather quickly and stayed that way for at least 2 months before I could get a look at it which was fine because I was enjoying the quality shaves I was getting with my Weishi at that time. One day I found this safety razor in a local shop and I got quite a shock after getting a real close look at it. It's the exact same razor as the all stainless steel Weishi 9306 G model ! The only difference is the travel case is black and lined with red velvette. It also comes with a little chromed wire stand for storage on your sink and 2 packs of 5 Dorco DE or double edged blades. The price point is $20 bucks and this razor can be found in the "AS Seen on TV section at most retailers. In my opinion, Rick Harrison endorsing this razor will bring alot of people into the wet/classic shaving world. Wether or not he truly uses it like he claims is a completely different story. I think he does use a safety razor, but not the one he endorses because there are much better safety razors out there compared to this one. It still gives good shaves for those that have extremely sensitive skin and for beginners like I said in my review of the Weishi. The price point is about the same because you do get more with this safety razor in the form of a wire stand and 2 packs of Dorco 5 DE blade packs. The only bad part about this situation and razor is that most people will only try it and keep using it until it falls apart. When this does happen, they'll say screw it and go back to shaving with cartridges. You might see roughly around 4 out of 10 people look for a better safety razor and stick with it. This is the bad side of wet/traditonal shaving. Celebrities like Rick Harrison and Conan "O" Brien are basically in it for the money and nothing else. They just don't have the passion for it.
