Very similar to Van Der Hagen other than the knurling.

Thanks for the comparison! I noticed the knurling was different as well. Might be similar in terms of how much both cost to make.
Here are some photos. I found this and took the photos while on the road, and I'm still a posting noob. So thanks in advance for excusing the quality.
The top cap was covered with clear plastic that I reapplied for photo #3.
Notice how "906B" is on one of the doors in photo #6.
I added the blade in the last photo. The blade was difficult to focus on, but you can sort of make it out. There isn't much blade exposure, but the gap seems significant. And there is no blade overhang on the sides. I haven't shaved with it yet.

VPN’s are great! Indeed, it is much cheaper on those sites, only shipping might take awhile.

Wow I’m getting a Van Der Hagen for Christmas, but I’ll probably get this from CVS next time as well. Cheap and looks quite beautiful. Great photos.
The question then becomes are they using a custom die for these razors and if not is it of a different metal and weight as these 2 Baili razors The BD179 or BD179J

If it doesn't differ then it is a simple rebrand unlike the Van Der Hagen razor which is not a flat out rebrand of a Weishi since it is made out of brass unlike the Weishi branded razors that look the same. The fact the doors are stamped 906B unlike the Baili razors could either mean they are using a separate die cast for the razors or marking a portion of the same razor parts for the CVS assembly and packaging line in the factory.
Agreed, even if it is just a simple rebrand of the Baili BD179 or BD179J. The fact is having them in a brick and mortar store will most likely turn on more people to DE shaving that would otherwise not buy a DE style razor because of the perception it is a specialty item.

Agreed, I think it’s wonderful. Gonna be good times when they stock up cartridge, disposable razors along with SE, DE, straight razors and shavettes. A shaver can only dream

I think the CVS Blade is quite similar to a Baili, while Van Der Hagen and MicroTouchOne are Weishi. The knurling is different but I assume the cost of making all these items are more or less the same. Funny how these are literally a couple bucks on Aliexpress, only the shipping takes quite awhile.The question then becomes are they using a custom die for these razors and if not is it of a different metal and weight as these 2 Baili razors The BD179 or BD179J

The 906B is from an outfit called Nanjie. I've heard tell that Dollar Tree sometimes sells them under their "Assured" house brand.

What they sell at Dollar Tree is a very different razor from the CVS one. The CVS (Baili) is much heavier and better built.
I got one of the CVS razors earlier in the year and just now checked for a number. It's in the same spot as the one pictured here but the number on mine is 811B not 906B so I'm not sure what it really means.

I hope it's better than the Dollar Tree razor. That thing is a buck. You know you ain't getting much for a buck. I think I'd take the VDH over this from CVS. Not that I think this would be a bad razor, I just like the color options VDH has.
In CVS I saw the razor and a brush. For that price, I think one is better off with an Italian made Omega.

For a dollar, I’ll definitely have to try the dollar tree razor! I’ll also end up getting a CVS Blade one day. Will be interesting to compare it to the cheap Van Der Hagen 85mm Razor.The 906B is from an outfit called Nanjie.

Agreed, the knurling is really different from the Weishi.

That’s interesting. It could be batch numbers or just that there are very small differences in the models that are pretty unnoticeable. I heard the Dollar Tree Assured is a really cheap razor, lightweight and the alignment is not 100%.

I’m getting a Van Der Hagen in December. I’ll eventually buy the CVS Blade since it’s not too expensive. Then I’ll have both a Weishi and a Baili. I’m really curious about the Dollar Tree Razor. For a buck it’s worth a try.
