Well the slow boat from China wasn't so slow and arrived late today. To quote
@Korbz WOW!! What a stunning razor and excellent blade alignment. Under $10, delivered with tracking to my door.
The shave: I have never been a fan of DE's but this one is sensational. Smooth and mildly terrifying at the same time. I used an ASCO blade and it was really comfortable. Started on 1 and it didn't feel comfortable so dialed it up to 3 and it was so smooth. Now I don't want to sound like I enjoyed a DE shave but - I did
The gap looks "challenging" and the head design is of course excellent. As others observe though it is a bit big for under the nose but all the whiskers are gone.
The method for changing the adjustment does seem a recipe for sliced thumb pads. Hold the head with a cloth as you adjust it.
It cost $10 and is amazing value. I won't change to being a DE shaver but I will definitely keep it in my arms reach in case I have a blunt straight at the start of a shave.
My verdict is if you want a very well made, comfortable and stylish adjustable razor you will not waste your $10. [Actually $8.80]
