Well folks my time with this razor has come to a close. Here are my two cents.
I want one.
It was more aggressive than I thought it would be based off of the recent reviews. It also has a more pronounced blade feel than I was expecting. To me it felt like a 3 setting on the Rex Ambassador and left me with a closer shave than I typically manage to get. With the rounded/low profile top cap it would bite me if I got the angle or pressure wrong. For $50 I just don't know how this razor could not be considered by just about everyone in our community. It costs 1/3 the price of the competitors and delivers the same shave.
The fit and finish is excellent. I like the Stainless Steel, individual serial number (excellent touch), and profile. All this lends the razor a lot of character. For me, this razor would have been a good second razor after I began using DE razors. For most folks this would be fantastic daily driver. Bottom line, I am impressed. I also have no suggestions for improving the design beyond selling the head separately.

Bought one and sold it after 2 weeks of daily use. The shave was never deep enough, several times I had to do one last pass with my Wolfman 0.74 or my timeless 0.95. It’s not as mild as a mamba or guerrilla, but it just isn’t efficient. Amazing value though, good quality and decent 316 steel. I will be buying the 0.90 version when it comes out.

Convinced you what? To sell the head separately?
