I’ll be interested to see if it’s like the T7 to shave with and as such the Mamba which I believe it was based on. Still £22 for a steel handle and zamak head is still a good deal.
Never knew this but a quick google confirms an interesting fact! We’ll you learn something new every day and I guess now the big decider will be as ever how it shaves!I think 316L steel is not magnetic, so the magnet test is not conclusive.
(I checked my Razorock "SS" handles and they're not magnetic either.)
I didn't like the Reggie Mars as much as the DS T7 SS. I hope the Yintal is a good shaver.The top cap has clear machining marks (which can, hopefully, be seen in the photos I posted earlier) and a few on the base plate around the "nubs".
I doubt anyone would bother machining zamak if they can just cast it and cover up mistakes by electroplating it. Not impossible, just seems unlikely.
I suspect this is just a nutty promo campaign on Yintal's part to get positive reviews about a great price-performance ratio before they ramp up the price again.
I'm planning on shaving tomorrow, and I just got Reggie's Titan from @Boycie83 as well, so I might as well do a comparison shave for the heck of it.

If you are happy with a S/S handle and Zamak head, then here is one for £9.38
Dscosmetic T7-SE Zinc alloy double edge safety razor
£9.38 + 20% = £11.25 postage free.
A couple of months ago I paid £9 inc VAT for the head only.
I could take the handle off your hands if you really don't like it.I caved and also got this razor. Turned up this week. Although I though I'd like the handle, it turns out I don't...
Anyway, the first shave went well: https://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/co...friday-4-august-2023.58725/page-3#post-928413
