Lemonwald Personal Care is one of the many shops that sell razors.

But there is a model in it that I hypothesize is interesting.

Both for the geometry of the zamak head, which reminds me of the iconic Charcoal Goods Gen1 LVL1.
Both for the aluminum handle, with a classic shape but with modern colors.
In addition to the absolute cost-effectiveness.
A captiving mix.

I just recently got the Yintal gunmetal version of this razor. I actually thought the head (and handle) resembled the Feather AS-D2.

When comparing the shaves side by side, these two razors are distinctly different. The aluminum handle and relatively thin zamak head made the Yintal version very light compared to the AS-D2, however both were similarly balanced. The Yintal also preferred riding the bar more than the cap like the AS-D2 does. End results however were very similar in that both gave great shaves. A rose gold version certainly adds a little more bling to a surprisingly good shaver.

It is kind of scary when me and ischiapp can agree on a razor.  Winking

I like lighter/fatter handles, so I'd almost be tempted to get one just for the handle.

Yes, It's the same: Yintal 653 Black.

But in the Lemonwald shop the Rose Gold is available.
And shipping is free.
I'm waiting one ...

EDIT
gvw755 not sure about the balance.

BPman I'm more into "democratic" wetshaving.
Safety razors are just blade holders.
IMHO, TTT strategy is the key.

I'm that way about wristwatches.
I do not see the appeal of a zillion-dollar watch that it is extremely difficult to tell the time with.

Nice little razor considering how cheap it is. Two passes on two days growth today and a little touch up in spots and I was good to go. Better shave than the Yintal Bronze, likely a little less aggressive but same results from what I can recall.

The folks at Lemonwald appear to be quite honest about their shaving brush offerings…
