I'm not sure how good it is though as I haven't used one yet.

Can't say that I like the look of it!

Yes I have one,it's ok but it's very heavy,and my one likes to miss a patch around my jaw,and you have to field strip it to dry it or the locking plate at the bottom starts to rot. And its like having a tank driving over your face. But I suspect other people may have better vibes about them.

I can't say that I would stitch you up with such a thing.I am to much of an honest man you would do better with a slim if you don't allredy have one.Bechet45 said:John said:Bechet45 said:Supplementary question: does anyone have experience of the Merkur Vision?

Does this mean you might like to sell yours? I might like to buy it!

Managed to borrow one to have a play with and found the same as you, to heavy and awkward.

Parker TTOs are made in india some people like them some people don't mind them .I did think of getting one but some one put me off so got a merkur long handle as a first DE.they are pritty good but I find the shave very dry if you want to go down the DE razor road do try a fat handle tech gently does it.

My lack of knowledge has me confused, Johnus. I looked on Mr Razor to find a Gillette '04 1918 or before and there are only Olds - no TTOs till 1934. Can you try to explain again, please?
Be fun to shave with something my Grandfathers may have used. (Harry came home in 1918 but one of his great-grandsons found his name and number listed on a Flanders Memorial as MIA.)
