The bit about it being a recent startup. I saw EXJ on eBay at least a year ago. I think we are being told rowlocks. Still, like you, I'll be happy if the handle is good. When I looked on eBay there was no silver colour - it was called gold. What was that old saying? If you are going to tell a lie, make it a big one. There's more chance you'll be believed.i guess we can’t expect much for £5 with no p&p.
The head looks cheap and i’m guessing feels cheap.
Hopefully the handle is ok.
Also the head doesn’t look stainless but i’m assured it is
hahahahahah very true.The bit about it being a recent startup. I saw EXJ on eBay at least a year ago. I think we are being told rowlocks. Still, like you, I'll be happy if the handle is good.

If you are looking at the razor in @Mike Smart 's link, all I can see is Blade: Stainless Steel. Handle: Steel.In the description: "solid stainless steel 100% handle"
Good write up mate & a fair assessment.I've posted a review of my first shave in the SOTD:
Post in thread 'SOTD: Saturday 21 - Friday 27 October 2023.' https://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/co...y-21-friday-27-october-2023.59083/post-934294
I agreeI can't find the review of mine ... maybe I didn't write one. I PIF'd it to Jester who found much the same and that wasn't to his liking either: https://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/co...riday-18th-june-2021.54617/page-8#post-835814 & https://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/co...iday-18th-june-2021.54617/page-11#post-835968
I've tried a LOT of rough and ready razors over the years and these near-copies are generally okay. Okay, never great. Still, you get a nice handle.
Sorry you didn't get on with it.I've seen the review by @NotTheStig on SOTD. When I shaved with my EXJ it was awful - rough and uncomfortable. First and last time with that head. I sometimes wonder why I punish myself when I have a load of excellent razors.
@Mike Smart I've been thinking about the "recent start-up". The razor is not new, but the company is.
Ah there you go i didn’t realise it was an older razor.I've seen the review by @NotTheStig on SOTD. When I shaved with my EXJ it was awful - rough and uncomfortable. First and last time with that head. I sometimes wonder why I punish myself when I have a load of excellent razors.
