Just picked one of these up yesterday. One door won't close properly or stay closed. Hinge pin hole is oversized so it's trash. At least it was only a dollar.

Seems the quality control has actually gotten worser!!!
AND it has a LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY!!!
Which looks a lot like the second razor. A Gillette TTO, which the design was copied.
The VDH is a good quality razor.
Yeah, a knock off is a knock off, but once you lift the hood! Step back boys!Which looks a lot like
Yeah, you can see that safety bar is crooked in the unopened package.
I got lucky. A couple years later, mine is still in regular use and gives me a great shave.

I heard that these dollar tree razors rust. How about yours?
Not a spot on mine. But I keep it dried after use.

What this topic still exists?!?! So does my $1 razor!
It needs to be kept alive....I bought some to PIF..... just sayin'!!
I will break it out for another round.
You are my new He Ro ! If I can find mine I'll have to see if it hasn't turned into a pile of rust! I do live in Michigan ya know!
I’ve been using mine for 3 years. Still a great razor. Very aggressive but manageable. Have had zero alignment or corrosion issues. If it cost $20 it would be a deal but for $1, and w 5 very good blades, it’s absolutely amazing. It puts every other razor to shame. My Techs and L5 and Slim and other great shavers in my den are great razors and fantastic values but at $5 and $10 and $20 they can’t even approach the $1 Assured for value.
Yes, a real beauty. Pretty much like shaving by holding a blade with your fingers, with no razor at all. Very aggressive but manageable, as you say. And you are right that this plastic razor does not seem to corrode. But in my collection the Assured has been surpassed by this H.L Stainless, acquired in a tiny convenience store in a Latin American country. Perhaps the "Stainless" refers to the fact that, as with the Assured, it is plastic and won't corrode. I don't know what "H.L" means, perhaps it refers to a word you may shout when you try the razor.

Had to bring out the Assured $1 razor today. Used it for the “Frugal Shave Theme Week” over in the SOTD thread. Paired it up with some really cheap, er uuuhh really economically low priced shave products from my local LiDL store. Shave gel, skin booster moisturizer and hydrating gel for a $1 each. Throw in the Gillette Wilkerson blade at roughly $.10 apiece and there’s your cheapo tight wad walker, uuuhh….. I mean fiscally responsible bare bones minimalist shave enthusiast shave set up. 
All kidding aside, the Assured TTO again gave me a real nice shave and the LiDL Men’s shave & skin care products actually performed quite nicely. I’m not saying that you should drop your Superspeeds, Aristocrats, Gamechangers, Lupo’s, Wolfmans, Rocnels, Timelesss, Blackland, ATT, Karve and anything else and make a beeline to your local dollar tree store but, in a pinch as has been stated here before dozens of times and from what a few of the Original 13 lab rats, uuummm, fine shaving Gentleman that took on the task of trying this razor out, it can produce a decent shave in a pinch.
Salud to the Original 13. Cheers Bro-Hams!!
