Origin of the name of the razor MICRO.

Why did I name my little razor MICRO?

Actually, I was in England when the 1998 World Cup was held in France.

My first time living abroad.
And I don't understand English at all...
Now that I think about it, I wonder what a reckless thing I did...
In the midst of all this, I thought every day that I would return home tomorrow, but after about three months, I made a native friend and gradually started to understand the language and enjoy it.At that time, the Nissan MARCH that I often saw in the city where I was living was March)!
A long time ago, there was a car called Isuzu Gemini, and it was my family's car in a very impactful commercial where it ran through the subway in a commercial about a shortstop in the city.

I like March because it's a little smaller than Gemini and has a rounded design.
A large person is driving a compact car, but if you think about it, the Rover Mini is even smaller, and it's manufactured in England.
By the way, the bed I lived in was also compact.
I realized firsthand that I like compacts, and in Japan the Nissan March was called MICRO in the UK!
The first car I bought after returning to Japan was a Nissan March and MICRO.

When the small razor arrived from Italy and I held it in my hand, I was immediately reminded of the old March and decided to name it MICRO.
It can also be read as micro, but it is definitely micro!

This is the unveiling of a razor with a lot of emotion.
