Hello gentlemen

This is not a Gibson or Rex clone. In this razor, only the adjustment mechanism from Gibbs. Everything else redone

Look this

This is more or less a clone of the Gibbs, whose grandchildren are the Personna Micrometric and Rex Ambassador.

It looks nice overall, however the lack of ears on the blade tray makes me concerned about the perfect up and down action as the gap changes. Looks like he is perhaps addressing that with the blade registration tabs going all the way through and piercing the guard. However, as the guard drops- are those tabs still making contact?

Interesting for sure. If you're doing something right, people copy it Smile

He is also singing praises to a new Belorussian soap called "April 19" with a leather scent.
the scent of  the soap (April 19) is based on lilac, not leather if I am not mistaken

Taiga takes much better.
Guides can be longer (a couple of mm), but with a maximum GAP they do not fall out of the plate and fully fulfill their function.
