Greetings,
A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend...The Snmirn razor (Merkur Futur Clone ) is probably a mk2 version of the Ming Shi 2000s/Q-shave which arrived first in 2017-18.
Apparent differences with the Snmirn adj for me are that it feels heavier in weight than the Ming Shi 2000s, the razor head is slightly smaller which is a added bonus for me also making it feel more comfortable to handle and use....Since I've had the Snmirn adj I skipped the settings 0.5- 3 as I know the blade gap on these settings would be a little too mild for my beard type...Starting with setting no: 4 on the wtg pass works for me then taking it to the max setting no:8 setting for the atg+pick up passes gives the razor a much more noticeable blade feel & efficiency but still feeling comfortable with no feeling of blade chatter.
The razor has a good balance, the adjustment mechanism works well, and stays on the setting of choice with no movement. The blade alignment is equal on both sides the top cap is held in position by a series of magnets rather than a press on cap or thread ,which I was doubtful about at first, thinking it was just a gimmick to catch the attention of the consumer, however, the magnets work really well holding the top cap firm with no indication of movement or coming off during the shave.
How long it'll last time will tell, but for now it holds the cap in place with no feeling of trepidation that the blade will dislodge itself whilst shaving.
Like the Ming Shi 2000s a design feature that i really like is the blade ends are covered by the top cap which is a added bonus with no fear of catching when shaving under the nose, and around the ears.
Another enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off a with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.
My face & precious swede are feeling smooth cool and smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
