What's new

Guys/Gals, here is a sweet demo on why the Toggle was made.

Toggle, the Gillette razor made for a one hand operation. Tell me your thoughts, or opinions.

An ingenious solution for a non-existent problem for most people. It reminds me of the old trick of opening your Zippo and striking it on the leg of your jeans. Looks cool but - why? And yeah, the cheesy, porn-like music is perfect. Now if you're really good at that one hand stuff you should be able to open the razor and load a blade without putting it down.
 
I wonder if it might have been less expensive to manufacture a toggle?
There would be no threading for the TTO feature, so perhaps it was less complicated.

I'm not really sure, I don't own a toggle
 
Great Vid Alex!!

Thank you. That is the first time I have seen the toggle "work"....just seen it in pics.

The music is cool, it relates to our Toggle lovers thread here http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showth...-things-Toggles-here-pics-and-tips?highlight=

The toggle switch loosen the doors enough so you can rinse off all the shave gunk, the blade stays in and wont fall off.

The Toggle had a few function issues. One was the adjuster dial became hard to turn after gunk built up in it. [Today, This can be fixed by hot water and dawn]. The other problem was that the toggle switch would freeze and sometimes it rendered it useless. Many users thought that it was permanently damaged so they would complain, return it , or toss it. This may have led to its design demise. The frozen toggle switch is a minor detail, it can be loosen up with a few good pulls. But i assume that many users did not have this info on hand and probably tossed it or just let it sit in bathroom drawers for years and not use it.
 
I bet you can roll a coin through your fingers, or a pen. Nice vid. I'd like a toggle someday, but not my highest priority.
 
I've used my Toggle one handed a fair bit since it arrived 2 weeks ago! Maybe that's just the novelty of it?

BTW Due to my facial expressions & the music on the video, my wife actually thought I was watching porn!
