Blade used: Gillette 7 o'clock Super Platinum Black (3)
- Well machined for the price.
- End piece unscrews and screws in smoothly.
- Rigid clamping of the blade with good tolerances.
- Heavy, made me take it slow and steady and let the weight do the work.
- WTG 4.5 No surprises here, similar to my Rocca.
- XTG 6 Not sure why I went up here, got 3 small nicks.
- ATG 1 above the lip, 2 everywhere else.
- Overall, smooth and quite efficient relative to the setting used, with good feedback.
- Handles quite well for its size and weight.
- Machine marks under the top cap.
- Red indicator not properly centered (apparently common across the board).
- Knurling not quite straight and could have been deeper, though I did not have issues with grip.
- Font used for numbers not really suited for the look of the razor, they could have used a more modern or industrial font.
- Adjustment ring is a bit stiff which I don't really mind as you wouldnt want to accidentally change the blade gap, but once you start turning it's not the smoothest. This is the biggest con I could say about this razor, but I'm really splitting hairs here. I could still turn it in one hand with my thumb and index finger.
