Great razor. It's a bit more aggressive than the Merkur HD, as it has a bit more blade exposure. Still leads to nice smooth shaves. I'm glad I purchased one. For $20, you can't go wrong. Also, it's chrome over brass rather than pot metal.

Thanks! $20 is an awfully tempting price for a TTO razor.
The RazoRock TTO is the same thing as the Cadet TTO. Search for threads on the Cadet, there are quite a few reviews.
I own a Cadet TTO, and it is a very good razor for it's price. Well built, solid brass, and about as aggressive as a Red Tip Superspeed. Certainly more aggressive than a typical Superspeed.
I would recommend it, being one of the few TTO on the market currently that are actually worth buying.

I have the Cadet TTO-15 which is the same OEM razor. I am sure that the vintage crowd will find me mad, but I prefer it over my Slim or Fatboy.
It has now has become one of my favorite razors and I really look forward using it as part of my rotation. The solid brass frame and handle make for a nice weight, the TTO mechanism is smooth, although does not operate in the same way as a vintage Gillette (you must turn the handle on these, not the knob). Although the blade gap is the same as the British version of the Red Tip Superspeed for my face, this razor feels smoother.
I prefer a two pass shave with buffing on my neck, this razor feels like it was built for that. It is one of only a couple razors that I can get an irritation free BBS without even trying.

Mad, maybe. Entitled, definitely.

Thanks everyone for your responses!
I purchased one two weeks ago. As stated above it is a bit more aggressive than my Merkur 34C HD and my Edwin Jagger E87. This being said, it has become my razor of choice in my rotations for several reasons. It is not the quality of my Jagger but still nice looking and I like the brass construction. I've read where some who post here have broken parts of their razors when securing a blade in a razor; seems one in most cases would have to "ham-hock" a razor to do that. In this case the handle screws in on a longer threaded shaft and I would think it would be a challenge to break it.
As for the shave, the head is heavy enough and the handle long enough to let the razor do it's thing with little pressure. I do at least two passes and no nicks or razor burn. With all of the expensive quality razors out there, it was a real pleasure to spend $19.99 and have what is now my go-to razor...
