I'm 3017ing a carton of Shark Superchrome blades with mine. Nice smooth combination. I expect I will be using it the rest of the year.

Nothing wrong with it except you can get the same thing for about $10 elsewhere.
Back in the 1970's when I began shaving it was using a DE that my dad gave me. A Wilkinson if memory serves correctly.(he had a spare) Sometime later I jumped to two bladed carts. (mid to late 1970's I suspect) Fast forward to March 2014, I saw the commercial in question and ordered it. I actually wondered why I had spent so much money on cartridges over the years. Shipped it was about $30 or so including 24 Dorco ST-300 blades. Are there better quality handles and blades out there? Probably. But this is a good way to get introduced. Decent quality and price.
I jumped on the bandwagon and bought one, €6,00 including delivery from China to Spain - I think I got my money's worth
Still works, but.........sounds like my one..... it fell to bits the second it left the box.
i hope yours is better!
I bought one of these even after doing research on getting other stuff just as a spur of the moment thing because I seen it at Walgreens. I don't regret it even though I know I could have gotten a weishi for cheaper which is the same thing. I will say this them dorco blades were horrible. I put Astra SP blades in my MTO and it works pretty good for me so far.
Try using a steeper angle, that is, move the handle more perpendicular to you face by a few degrees. It's a pretty mild and friendly razor, it shouldn't feel harsh at all.Unlike other DE handles I've used, it didn't seem to flex the blade downwards, so it was much harsher on my face than other DE handle/blades.
I got mine on black friday if this year. Same story with me. A little more dramatic cuz my family was totally against me switching. My mom pitched a fit. Dad said I'd hate it. My sister thought I'd pitch a fit. My best friend dusting encouraged me. Now I'm getting him a complete kit for his birthday cuz he's impressed with the shaves I'm getting. He won't get a micro touch 1 though, maybe a weishi, or a cheap razorock. He needs a MILD razor.That's the first safety razor I used. Not a great one, but I'd still be using cartridges if it wasn't for this. Gateway razor. Within a week I was ready to upgrade.
