You shave in a crowd?
Just shaved with the Kanzy Victory razor. I believe exactly the same as the Baili, just rebranded. Cost £6.49. A very decent shave. Will post in SOTD.First Victory Shave this morning with the Baili BR171.
Very nice!
The razor is fairly light, but the handle is nice & grippy. The plating seems flawless. The fit & finish is fine.
The blade sits in place perfectly well. I'm not a fan of the overhang on the blade ends, so had to be careful especially when going across under my nose.
I used a Kai blade on shave no.4. The actual shave was more comparable to my FH Canada 1932 Tech than the later Techs. The razor gave a smooth, effortless 3 pass shave.
An absolute steal at £7.99 delivered.
Similarly, I've been using the Kanzy Victory razor. Same razor as the Baili. Agreed - wonderful razor. For under £6.50 it's a steal. I may be wrong; but the prices of Tech's seems to be sneaking up on eBay at the moment. These homages are a good value alternative.Several shaves now & this really is a lovely little razor.
I think it's actually slightly more aggressive than my FH Tech. I'd say more similar to my Red Tip.
I've been eyeing the plastic handled razor on the Bay. Less than £3 deliveredHere's the actual Baili site. I believe they all use the same head in their 3 piece:

Interesting. Have you got the exact same Baili as me? I think there are a few different models around.I'm of the opposite belief that the Tech is just a frog hair more aggressive, at least for my mug. Of course, that is part of the appeal of the 3 piece Baili as it makes for such a smooth shave. It is damn near effortless to achieve a DFS at leisure with one. On the opposite side of the spectrum, the Lord Tech clone shaved a tad more aggressively than a real Tech which was just enough to make me sell it.
Regardless, the Baili 3 piece is a Helluva buy that shaves better IMO than a Merkur or EJ (hate those scalloped heads!!).
Ok.
I'm sure I read somewhere that another user had the Baili head with no blade overhang & said it was slightly smoother/less aggressive than the one I have.
Great read.
