MicroTouch Solo Review: First Look | As Seen on TV

MicroTouch Solo is a dry razor that trims, edges, and shaves. It's a lot like the Philips OneBlade, but $10-$15 cheaper. This is my first look review.

Someone who shaves his beard, shaves his arm and shaves his body just to get a proper review deserves my Like and subscription plus clicking that bell icon. Great job

[@Freakinreviews]

Heh I really didn't want to shave again, because I shaved for another review only a month ago. But that's the only way to give it a proper test, right? I appreciate the comment and the subscribe!

[@trnraj9293]

Fake and worst product I hv used it

[@trnraj9293]

Fake product don't buy it plz plz plz

[@georgewilliams8357]

I currently use the Micro Touch Solo shaver and it works just fine to me....except for the fact that I've had a few flaws with the razor heads, they keep breaking off everytime that I try to clean out the part of the razor where the facial hair clippings collect. So I bought a second one to use as a spare in case that I break or loose the other shaver that I'm currently using. But other than that I don't think the product is considered to be a piece of junk, no it's all in the matter of how you use the product.

[@icerocgirl]

Mine wont turn off

[@soonersciencenerd383]

I bought mine from Amazon and it came with an USB connector. I charged it up and tried it on my face hair and it was pretty good. it left a little bit of stubble, but that was fine. I tried it on my arm hair, and it did great! I got carried away and cut most of it off! Anyway, it is the best razor I ever bought. I wondered why mine has an USB cable.

This is good but before I buy, I absolute need to know what this company is doing to combat toxic masculinity? This is so important to know about a razor.

LOL ... good one.

[@lenardbosch2969]

Haha perfect 👌

[@muhammaddasy5616]

I bought one like that on the internet but instead of “ microtouch”, its written “maxtop” I don’t know, is it original or fake?

[@lazarustenebrae]

Excellent review sir. Keep up the good work.

[@shydawg510000]

Hey James, I always shave my head with a razor but I'm thinking of getting a electric shaver. Have you considered doing a comparison between head shavers? I notice that your head is always cleanly shaven and I would be interested in how you shave your head.

[@louiemontano8789]

It looked like you were pushing kind of hard to get a close shave..

[@randyr6610]

I got one about a week ago I just love it . I like to keep my beard at 3mm on the side of my face and this does awesome.

[@monolith2001]

I seriously do not remember how I found one of your videos or what I was buying but I am mesmerized by your reviews to the point where I subscribed and watch them even if I am uninterested in the product. Such a cool channel.

[@Freakinreviews]

Hey that's very kind of you to say! I'm very happy you like it. Please touch base again and let me know what you like, and what you don't!

[@benholmes1906]

Great review, thanks for showing with the attachment.

[@youngatheart174]

I saw you can buy the replacement blades for this one at Micro Touch (Only place I can find & Under product reviews all complain about refills being Out Of Stock!) ,for 2 @ $14.99! However, in stock or not??? is the Big Question! Otherwise it isn't a bad product at all...

[@georgewilliams8357]

Actually you can purchase the replacement heads for your Micro Solo Touch on the Amazon website.

[@chicali707]

Thank you so much for showing how it works, I will buy one thanks to your review.

[@camps311]

Just picked mine up! Love this thing. Thanks for the great review

[@Freakinreviews]

Hey Scott. I continue to use it and I'm pretty happy with it.

[@pvlapa]

why can't it be used for the head?

[@wakenbake3682]

Did it break yet everybody’s saying the head breaks off

[@manyusetiawan2575]

Tried one, seems OK. But, having difficult replacing the trimmer. We'll see how it goes in a few days or weeks of trial

[@oyuncu1410]

[@islamimankhodzhaev543]

Bro, i need your review after 10 month of using. Does it worth ?

[@manyusetiawan2575]

No, should try another product, perhaps because the shipment the handle is a bit shaky if u add strength #that's me though

[@nickvansickle1983]

Just saw you in an ad for this product on IG

[@jasont4585]

I just bought one and I see why it's not a smooth blade - it's not designed for smooth shaves. if you read the package, it says "SHAVE to a perfect stubble". So this is for geting it as short as possible when you can't do a regular shave or to help avoid razor bumps. But I do like the trimming which is always the one thing we who keep facial hair find hardest. This may be the best item for good even trimming while having the feel of a regular razor. more comfortable in the hand.

[@ratneshmishra1723]

4:05 u will see Stone Cold 😂

[@kaylam2556]

[@micheleeelyse]

[@venusolympia7564]

I wanna get the same razor but people don't recommend it to me ...should I get one ??

[@vikasv6821]

Can we use it for head hair

[@Danielson1818]

It really is a good choice for people that prefer electric. I have ridiculously sensitive skin. No combo of shaving cream and special razor will ever work for me no matter how many people recommend secret fixes. It's been almost 20 years since my facial hair came in, and this is near the top of any electric I've used. The recharging USB cord is a big plus, since my since my son's toys take all the batteries in my home.

[@Jeffreycox521]

i have one its good for neck line and arm Pitt so i like the phillps one blade better i probably get another oneblade

[@imjustsayin6562]

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! I am telling you by experience, it will dull very quickly and just pull out your hair ,so there it sits ,WASTE OF MONEY!!!

[@elysonoliveira9938]

Really??

[@TomLloyd-18]

I'm thinkin . . . if you are a guy who has some facial hair - you probably already have a trimmer and a razor. I can't see a reason for adding this to my bathroom vanity drawer. Now if you are just starting out with the facial hair thing - and haven't already invested in other tools - - then go for it. I don't find it impressive. Thanks for the review.

[@YoungBlaze]

ME - perfect sense

[@TheSonnyworld]

Does this trimmer cause permanent hair loss after repeated uses? Please reply! Like does the light some how f up your hair follicles?

[@gregbolitho9775]

Yeh, had 1, liked it alot, until I dropped, now, I'm chasin the manufacturer, to see if I can replace the bit that broke. Anybody know anythin, give me a nudge.

[@savagepandas5934]

What do u know about scalp

[@Dalesoil1]

Worked great for about 8 months of Light Mustache trummings, then it would Not charge up enough to use at all. Made so you Cannot open it to replace the Rechargeable batteries. For this reason I Do Not recommend this trimmer.

[@Rogue_Panda_]

btw if anyone sees this comment your can turn the guard around to shave the opposite direction or you can just turn the razor

[@susanferriola4000]

I bought one of the original Microtouch Solos and was never able to get proper replacement blades. The original ones were blue. The newer ones are silver and the guides that came with the shaver do not fit these blades. Extremely angry about this because I shouldn't have to pay for a new shaver to get a compatible blade.

[@Fall_Legends]

Mine only charged one time and worked but now it charges but the blades don't move for more than a second or two. I made sure everything was brushed out and not blocking anything. So I was wondering if I could use some sort of light oil on the blades?

[@GigawingsVideo]

To be honest I'm only interested in this thing because I want to use it exclusively for my downstairs but it's sadly not to be.

[@peterhernandez8945]

Your review was great to see i think i may buy one of them them now 🤘😎

[@culturalconfederacy782]

How well does the OneTouch work on those hard to reach areas (i.e. underneath/below the chin, sides below the jawbone). I've had an issue trying to shave these areas. Great and very helpful video.

[@Freakinreviews]

It's great for trimming anywhere, but for shaving it's not really the best option unless you like to leave a little stubble.

[@velk4n773]

A really bad product, I feel cheated, the guides were not those of the commercial, they were stuck and at the end I was going to remove the 1 cm guide and the head part is pulled now I can no longer occupy it a shame one day it lasted me 😥

[@Playitstraight44]

I received this for Christmas and I like it. I'm glad i watched your video though. It's always better watching someone use it before I try it on myself and I'm glad i did. The 1 millimeter blade worked good but it did take several runs over the same spots to get all the strays off. Its a good razor though. Would have preferred a better angle for the edging.

[@Peter-rl4nc]

how the hell do you charge it as it keeps dropping out

[@trace6606]

That thing is a piece of shit! A bic 4 blade razor , my whal trimmer and for body hair men's Nair works better

[@evalgo8803]

What does it mean when the light turns purple? It's red when off and charging, but when I turn it on its purple

[@adelagallego8079]

Malisima un uso y se descabezo. Y no responden por nada. No pierdan la monedita. Era para mi hijo adolescente y no corta nada. Lo del video debe ser otras cuchillas es un engaño

[@HooverLux]

Awesome, it's a perfect tool for certain cuts, depends on how you want to style your facial hair, great for additional facial hair product.

[@demonhybrid13]

Oh good, because I bought my dad one and I wasn't sure if it worked or not. He wanted it really bad and so...I caved. Thank you for your review!

[@georgewilliams8357]

I don't know why everyone says that this is product is not a good shaver to purchase, but it seems to do alright by me. But again it's all in the matter of how you use the product.

[@miguelmendez44]

I want to know if you can shave your head too

[@Naashiraa]

My dad just bought it from a Facebook Ad without asking, paying it 62 euros (67 dollars). This better be good because I'm quite pissed of. My dad is not young anymore and he would not recognize a scam.

[@Naashiraa]

NEVERMIND HE FUCKING BOUGHT THE FAKE VERSION IT IS CALLED "BOXILI SQLO" INSTEAD OF "MICROTOUCH SOLO" BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE I'M ITALIAN IN ITALIAN "SQLO", NOT WRITTEN LIKE THAT BUT WITH THE SAME PRONUNCIATION MEANS BAD LUCK I DON'T EVEN

[@WilliamThompson-X]

I got one and then saw your video before I used it. Thanks for sharing. Now I am using it and think it's pretty good.

[@richardburney4956]

product does cut nice for a quick shave or trim but it does not last mine the motor or battery died after 4 uses

[@drenbajrami6573]

I have one like this!it sucks and it's fake.fucking product

[@oyuncu1410]

Bir defa kullan at paranızı sokağa atmayın

[@69chotos]

I have 2 that have failed after only a couple of months of use and there’s no one you can contact on their website to get any help. One will not turn on anymore and the other one stays stuck on. As soon as any water hit the switch, that’s it, it stays stuck on until the battery completely drains out.

[@alphavitaproductions7783]

Don't buy it. It's too easy to be broken. Sincerely, a waste of money.

[@MatthewHKnight]

Yeah but we need know how well it works on the pubes.

[@FKAAYA]

He said you shouldn't use it down there unfortunately but I wonder why

[@MatthewHKnight]

@@FKAAYA Possibly because the blade will cut your ball sack open like normal hair clippers, fuck I had that happen with some hair clippers small nick and my sack was dripping for awhile then getting soap and wet on it was not fun either

[@japfeif]

@@MatthewHKnight Yep...best thing to use for ball sack and surrounding area is a good old-fashioned razor blade (I use a Gillette Turbo with 4 blades). Been doing it for years and can count the number of times I've actually cut myself on one hand...and all those were probably within the first few weeks of learning to do it.

[@jimbrannan6757]

This is on Ebay for $11 free shipping. I used it for 2 minutes and in the trash it went. Don'y buy this. If you can buy it for $11 free shipping, it cost $3 and it's junk. And it was junk.

[@humbertozepeda7320]

Excellent, demonstration, I say by a professional. Right on.👍

[@juanmederos6705]

[@aaronbarkus7436]

Hello sir. I watched your video twice already. Just purchased this new device. And it feels like I’m doing it wrong. But I’m imitating you. I’m trying to get my face to look as clean as yours. But still feel and see stubble. Maybe because I’m African American. I don’t know. But I feel like I should get my money back! Please help me. Tell me something! Thank you.

[@Rainbowtruckn]

I used the OneBlade for a couple years but was looking for a cheaper more durable alternative. The oneblade's blades break on me all the time. It make no sense to use delicate soft plastic as a spring. I was just about to try Remington's version but really didn't want to spend the money since I had just bought a OneBlade blade but it broke 2nd time using. Luckily I randomly found the Solo at Burlington for $12.99. It's been months now and haven't replaced the blade yet but Amazon has a 3pack for $13.99. All around much better than OneBlade.

[@kaylam2556]

Besides the point, but you are very handsome ;-)

[@Del-Canada]

Can you do a video sometime reviewing those thick fly hairs that were growing out of Jeff Goldblum's back in the movie "The Fly"? You could talk about how hard they would be to pull and how painful it might be, etc. Something like that sound doable sometime?

[@robertnordeen4631]

Could it be used with shave cream.? The tv commercials made it look smoother than yours. I never heard the buzzing noise on tv, that explains a lot. I thought it was silent ultra high no BUZZ.

[@younisjafari7212]

Don't waste your money or time! It's dull as can be and pulls the hair rather than cut it! It's pretty cheap but you pay for what you get!

[@dragojlokrunic8254]

kupio sam ovaj trimer kao neispravan nemogu da verujem da sajlu neispravne aparate

[@bwsmyhero]

The TV commercial states that the Microtouch Solo trims, edges, and EVEN SHAVES. Imagine that, a razor that shaves! Uh, isn't that what a razor is supposed to do?

[@7777Lace]

Walter, this review is EXCELLENT!!! Thank You!

[@mr.schmoe5867]

I can only agree with everyone in the comment section here. New subscriber as well as bell button tapped. Have a great day! Lol

[@zaindinani1842]

Where to get the blades from?I'm from India

[@warners5]

I would like to trim my goatee, which has gotten pretty bushy in lockdown mode, but I'm concerned about getting it too close. From watching your video, and using some common sense, my thought is to start with the 5 mm comb, applying the downward motion. Agree? Any other suggestions?

[@WarrioRAbsolutE]

Why not scalp?

[@frenchbrunette74]

My 19 yo son doesn't like to wet shave either so he has an electric razor that he found and loves it but, I watched your review because my hubby saw the commercial for the Microtouch and wants one. After your review, I will def get him one! Thanks!

[@VicarioBrensleyPhillip]

Will it give me razor bumps like a razor?

[@kevinshorter5861]

I bought mine online and I viewed it and I like it I just use it for trim in my beard but it had 2 fingers where the head is and I dropped it and one of the fingers broke off so I'm apt to buy a whole new body

[@tonyjh146tm]

glad didn't by not regular as battery operated👎👎and blade don't last I went with Norco eyebrow and nose and ear hair trimmer can be clean with water and dose trim beard and mustash 2 years warrty and free lithium aa and can use regular alkaline AA Norco none to last no oiling needed and good for shaving in between my tail pip mustash and gotee takes more time because trimmer head small but good for complicated fashal hair

[@TheRaintalon99-5]

Mine was a piece of shit when I got it out of the box, it won't shave my beard off. Can you tell me if I should clean the razor or just take it back to the store?

[@AtmxDawg24]

Thanks, I’ve been on the fence about using it. Now I’ll get one. By the way, you can get replacement heads on EBay. I’m going to buy it from EBay.

[@batista.k_]

Tried one and it did hurt as shit. I do not recommend it.

[@seanmcguire7974]

You can go against the grain, you just have to hold,it right. You were using the wrong side. I just prefer pro trimmers for my face. There's A lot of good brands. But for body hair it might be ok.

[@dairuggerxvvoltesfifteen8756]

*James* ,sucks how u _had to_ grow out your beard just to have it cut off for this review..MicroTouch should reimburse u for that

[@RoloTheOne]

I've tryed it and it's ok. I was looking forward to have a baby skin like regular shavers but no, it leaves microbeards. To a regular day... neh, plausible. To important meetings, regular shaver.

[@gannondollins]

Does this work for taints?

[@bp112265]

[@jeffreycox558]

Thank you James. Hi im Jeffrey i have phillips one blade and micro touch solo. I use it on my balls and. Hair cuts. Cool video james

[@uploadJ]

Um, how do they compare?

[@corynmay7463]

That was weird. The way you have to do it opposite. Take some getting used to. Personally I like your beard/goatee.

[@Freakinreviews]

It's a bit different, but a pretty cool product. I'm definitely not shaving it all off again, as I prefer the beard/goatee too!

[@stevenlafleur658]

Mine doesn't work that well at all. After 3 days of not shaving and shaving I still have one days worth of stubble.

[@sonofgodjesuschrist2785]

GOOD JOB THANKS.

[@AwesomeLorenzoBros]

Update and try the Titanium one!

[@reggieholder576]

Does it matter how thick your beard is?Been looking for something good for years.Saw that at Walmart for the same price.Might have to get one.

[@Freakinreviews]

I'd say my beard thickness is average, so I don't think that is much of a factor.

[@reggieholder576]

I got one,& tried it.Didn't shave anything from my beard.So,I returned it and got my money back.

[@CarlosGonzalez-tu9ev]

It work well for what it is and the price. It ia a little fragile so you have to be carefull changing the trimming gides.

[@purpmusiq5267]

You are awesome thank you

[@loganladue2]

I thought it was for shave to skin like a normal razor. After shaving my beard with this, my skin was super red so isn't for the soft skin kind people I suppose.

[@SalemStorm]

It sucks as a shaver. It needs a shaver foil head but does not come with one. It is ONLY a trimmer NOT a shaver. Buy a trimmer for half the price at a retail store.

[@mb1636]
