WHAT A BEAUTY!!!

The HS075 Neutral is a beautiful razor and I love the new handle. I have not found one poor review of how this razor shaves. I own both the Razorock GC .68/.84 and the Lupo in stainless & aluminum. Those RR razors are all very comfortable and smooth "autopilot" daily shavers at very low cost (under $100). I have a couple of questions, which are very subjective, and may help non-collectors decide if this razor is worth their purchase.
Question 1: Is the shave "quality" (efficiency and smoothness) worth the additional cost for this razor ($120+), forgetting the gigantic quality and finish difference?
If not, I understand that the design and finish beauty, makes the HS075 worth the cost to collectors.
Question 2: Is the larger head of the HS075 a (handling and maneuvering under nose) disadvantage, when compared to the smaller GC and Lupo heads?

This is a beautiful razor which I will purchase, but my questions pertain to "shave quality" versus lower cost products on the market. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

My NO75 arrived a few days ago and I’ve had a couple of shaves with it so far. It worked well with both a Polsilver and Voskhod Blade and I must admit that I am very impressed with it.

Whilst it doesn’t feel quite as smooth as a RS-10 or Rocnel Elite it is still a very smooth shaver and the fit, finish and design are excellent.

This razor is, for me, very much a keeper and represents excellent value for money.

How tall is the head? Is it easy to get under the nose?

I’ve taken a quick photo to compare it next to a Timeless and a Game Changer.

I can’t comment as to how manoeuvrable it is under the nose, I’m afraid, as I have a goatee.

Not sure if this is helpful.  N075 in between my 6S and Ambassador.  FWIW, I had zero issues using this under my nose.

Well, I just placed an order for a handle from Stork's eBay storefront.  In this case, it was mostly about getting desired specs as opposed to aesthetics, though I do like the latter well enough, as the longer I've been in the DE game, the less I like 90+mm handles.  The stainless steel one I ordered is 85mmx13.5mm and weighs in at ~77g, so only a few grams less than the stock handle.  I wanted something of less length but of similar weight.

Now comes the long wait due to weather and unpredictable (IME, anyway) Russian postal service, because no way was I going to pay $60USD more for the sole alternative shipping option they offered.

This is the one I ordered, apparently the last one because now shows as out of stock in my order details:

Via Instagram. Ti for sometime in the summer. I only have one Ti razor and that's an SE from Paradigm. I might have to consider giving that razor a stablemate in the DE realm. Love the design features and how it will hold the blade with corner detents. Of course it copies on previous designs stemming from the Vintage Gillettes but, I don't mind one bit...

Looks a lot like a wr2. I'm curious to see how different it shaves. Not complaining since everything is pretty much a copy of Gillette at some leve.

Pulled out the NO75 tonight with the new handle. Great balance and wonderfully comfortable shave. This is a great razor if you like the mid aggressive to mild-mid aggressive razor. Still gets the job done wonderfully in 3 passes.

Here's the Stork handle I purchased for my N075; 85mmX13.5mm, ~77g
