HomelikeShaving and their START SS Razor. From Russia with Love....

I have the SS RS-10 and I would say that the Start 1.18 would be more efficient but I need to compare the 2 side by side.  Might do that very soon as I kept the RS-10 with Aggressive plate which has no business being called aggressive! 
My current best in the smooth\efficiency game is the Haircut & Shave No75 full stainless razor.  After shaving with the Start 1.18, I would put it a close 3rd behind the H&S and the Rocnel 2019 Elite A.The Karve G plate is right up there too.

Initial Shave and Impressions on the START Razor

Basically because I HAD to, I started with the 1.18 plate and was shocked at how smooth it was for such a wide gap. Hopefully it's okay to just post the video here to save my slow typing. Just initial thoughts are "I like it" and need to play with plates and angles to zero n but seems like a win to me. Not sure if I can video all the shaves but will add thoughts here as I have  the shaves.

I know I'm late to the game here, but if possible, may I please be added to the pass around? I live in Missouri.

If I could be added to the list as well, that would be great. I live in Washington. I might end up caving and just buying outright, but for right now I'm managing to hold out. If I get added and do cave, I'll ask to be removed. Thanks to all who are posting their impressions!
