Apollo Mikron 1
I've hunted for this one for a long time. I'm not really sure of what it is because every other Mikron 1 that I've seen a picture of has a metal handle. If the piece that came with it is correct, I would guess that its some sort of transition razor between a Busch Flexi and the Apollo Mikron. It has Apollo Mikron embossed on the base plate (third image below) so its definitely a Mikron 1.

How does it shave? First time out with it. I used it about a half turn open and found it fairly aggressive. If this shave is anything to go by, it is certainly capable of a 1pass plus some buffing BBS and I'm going to love it. |

The Repair The first two images below show how it arrived. The third is the handle that I turned for it. My intention was to have the handle 3D printed by a prototyping company, but it arrived too late in the year to have it done. I was not willing to wait for the new year to use it and decided to turn one out of nylon. I found out that I definitely don't have the patience for checkering and I'll have one printed once everyone returns after the Christmas break. The top of the thread of the adjuster dial is also stripped but there is still enough to use the rasor. If this becomes an issue I'll address it then. |
