Branded as Fairschenkt for the UK market.

I enjoyed a beer, then I enjoyed a purchase - the 2.0 plus a III plate. It's ok though - it's hasn't clashed with the Great February Reset

It's an interesting offering. In the UK, this razor (2.0) offers potentially better value than the RazoRock Gamechanger with its plate options. I shall write a review in due course. Obviously that's why I bought it - duty to the community and all that.

I know nothing about this razor apart from seeing few wet shavers on YouTube reviewing it which I'm yet to watch,
Any idea why it's got a different brand name in the UK by chance?

See this thread which has some info

It was mentioned somewhere on the Green Cult thread. Something about a clash of names in the UK involving an actual cult with a dubious reputation if I remember correctly.

Lol! It was me that looked into it now I have found the thread again!

It's nearly the end of January. I've bought a cheap Rolls Razor which I need to prepare for use. @PLANofMAN has given some useful info in another thread to which I'll be referring. I think I've got the telescopic handle version and I think it's stuck and I may need another. Luckily I have a job lot more coming in the post soon. Got some research to do...
