Review: MicroTouch One

The MicroTouch One in carrying case.

I received a MicroTouch One to try out and review. Opinions are 100% my own.

I have been shaving since I was in sixth grade. I’ve used electric razors, multi-bladed razors and once in High School I had to shave with a two blade disposable razor and a bar of soap. I have never used a single bladed razor to shave. Never, until today. Today I tried out the MicroTouch One.

The MicroTouch One is a single bladed safety razor. This is an absolutely beautiful razor. The razor comes in its own carrying case. It is solid brass, chrome plated and opens with a simple twist. You place razor blades into the razor and then twist it closed. I was so surprised at how small and thin the razor blades actually were. I never gave it much thought before.

I followed the included directions down to a T. I showered first, gave my face a good scrub with the pre-wash that I had from a previous review and then lathered up with the shaving cream that I’ve been using since I did that last shaving related review. I contemplated using the mug and brush shaving cream that my parents got me for Christmas last year but it was more of a novelty than well engineered shaving cream. So my face was ready.

Falling in the Leaves


Photo-A-Day #3122

Andrew loves the leaves. We have a big pile in the back yard. I need to rake them up soon. Each day Andrew wants to play out back there and jump in the leaves. He gets a huge kick out of it.

We pulled out one of Eva’s old toys from the garage today. It is a Fisher-Price toy that looks like a house on one side and the inside of a house on the other side. It has all sorts of sounds and shapes and things to do on this toy. Andrew loves it. He played with it for a while outside and then we brought it into the house for him and he continued to play with it for a long time. I like that he enjoys playing with these toys, glad they get a second life. And of course when Eva came home she was all about playing with it again. Andrew wasn’t having it though. He was not happy that she kept playing with it.
