Before I say anything else, let me reiterate that this isn't a big deal, just a small manufacturing issue. Two more passes on the lathe would fix it. I'm sure they will replace it as it seems to have affected just me so far. I asked other people and their handles are perfect. I'm a mechanical engineering student and probably gave too much attention to this. As I said before, the razor head is superb, very well executed and I am happy that I was able to purchase this product.

There are some that continue to troll Italian Barber and PAA for whatever reasons they have (Mostly on/from reddit). When I saw that this was your first post I was suspicious. My apologies. I hope you get your issue worked out with RR. All of the people who post here aren't total dicks like me. Welcome.
I had my first shave with it this morning and I used a new Astra green. Honestly it was a good shave to me it felt between Plate 3 and 4 on a Rockwell 6S. I will try it with a Gillette Silver Blue as the Astra Green seemed not to efficient with this razor.
Overall it felt great on the WTG, but when it came to the ATG it did not seem efficient for me, but I want to try the GSB and a Feather before I come to any conclusion. I normally shave with my Rockwell 6S using Plate 5. It will take some trial and error so one shave with this razor does not tell the entire story.

I did a really quick, no-prep shave last night with Aveeno goo and a fresh Personna Red with fantastic results.
This morning, I shaved again (though I didn’t really need to) with the same Personna, Mudder Focker, and a RR Butterscotch 400 Noir. Then I swapped in a wicked-sharp Bic for touch up just for kicks. The touchup wasn’t really needed, and the Bic wasn’t needed, I just wanted to see how it felt. Love this Game Changer!
FWIW, my grey whiskers, the cowlick on my throat, and my skin always like SHARP blades. The sharp Personna Red is my “comfort” blade, and the wicked sharp Bic is my longer-lasting Feather alternative.
Both blades felt and shaved great!

These are my exact thoughts, I’m gonna try a feather with it next. As is it’s not as efficient as my 6s on plate 4 and definitely not the blackbird. Overall a great everyday razor but for those who have course beards or like aggressive razors this may not excite you.
