I would have glued the knot together and glued it in the handle and and been very pleased with a nice boar brush!
You got the moral wrong, it's; "Never buy a plastic brush when in need of a good boar."
RazoRock 37 German Slant arrived today along with some other goodies (blades and soap) from @Magnum1912 - thanks, matey
I popped it onto a HD Handle (it came with a Bulldog Handle) as I think that reflects the original better. I've pictured it (upper) next to the Merkur 37C (lower) where I hope you can see that the blade gap is much bigger on the RazoRock than the Merkur.
I used a Merkur 37C back in 2014/2015 and really enjoyed it but sold it on when I switched to single edge. Buying in new recently, I was a tad disappointed as it felt very mild indeed. With a few shaves, I've found my groove with it but it still lacks the bite that I remember from those years ago. Fingers crossed the RazoRock relives those memories ...
The Rex has arrived ...
Can't wait to give it a go tonight.
You may need to tweak that hinge a little!
Everything I hoped it would be in the hand ... fingers crossed that it's the shaver I hoped for.
Little haul of blades ...
The Lord is a new one on me. Those Czech blades are reputedly really good. All to try in my new Rocca
Silver Stars for the Yaqi Katana.
Some horrible piece of rubbish TTO half DE razor that I had to have, just for giggles.
Generous lend of a RazoRock Game Changer OC, much thanks to @Tony'schin
The cat approved ...
Good spot! Cheers! Given the "lightness" of materials, it's not going to be a chore
What razor is that?
Nah! Spotted it on another forum so hunted it down ... to be frank, the thrill of the hunt was more fun than I think the shave will be. That said, it's kinda ingenious as the blade slides in under those two tabs on the baseplate and the cap does hold it very firmly in place. It sorta puts me in mind of the vintage Golf razor. I think I'll try it with one of those budget Vidyuts

On the upside, I got a pack of Wilkettes chucked into the deal ...
I just assumed it was an English razor.Although I like how you're entirely unconcerned about the wonky teeth
I've never seen one!!! It is sort of similar in appearance on the outside.The Golf ...
Nah, man!
Thin metal, bit crap ...
Although the Golf took whole DE blades it only presented one edge, which it held exceptionally tight and the overall effect was a zero chatter shave.
