After an unexpected good experience with the "b-pure" shave soap from the dollar store, dropped another $1.25 on the Assured for Men DE razor. Hey, it came with five blades, too.
Now, others have posted on their similar priced TTO, but this is a Gillette Tech clone - perhaps.
Apparently zamak, but so (can be) the Gillette. (The TTO I would not even try. Doors look ready to fall off. But a Tech clone has few parts. Anyways...)
As with NASA, I'm testing components first. The blades are completely unmarked... Not necessarily a good sign. Have used some just-OK Chinese blades before.
So I loaded this janky blade into my Timeless Slim. Cannot have two test factors going at once... Loss of face could result.
After I loaded it, took a phone call - forgot I'd loaded it with a test blade - and started to shave.
Ah. Shhhhkkk. What? Instantly I was reminded this wasn't my usual Wilkinson or Dorco Prime. With greater caution, I proceeded.
These no-name Chicom blades can actually work. Duller, a bit tuggy but not painful. About like other really low end blades. How many shaves per blade remains to be seen. I get six per Dorco and 6-10 to the Wilkinson. Anyways.
On to the razor... Tomorrow.
