I doubt the Future clone is anything but low quality, get one and you will be surprised what £4 gets you.Gillette had a history of long lasting, excellent made and refined DEs when the Adjustable popped up. The two chinese company are well renowed for being amongst the cheapest, both "taking inspiration" from celebrated models.
A futur clone can be found for roughly 6 euros on aliexpress.
I really doubt they will change their standards in manufacturing and refining and (most important) in quality control
I own both, the qshave for travelling without thinking about it getting lost/broken. Quality of materials is low indeed as weight, strenght of the spring, details in the inner cap let well understand. Nevertheless is is a fair razor for the price. Not a futur, but a good razor for the money.I doubt the Future clone is anything but low quality, get one and you will be surprised what £4 gets you
It does look nice but I'd like to see a pure brass version.They have also decided on a black-handled option for those whom don't appreciate the silver 'pillar-esque' handle;
Personally, I think the black looks considerably better and it is now testing my ability to withhold on 'pledging'.
This. Pure brass or a mixed brass-reddish with black.It does look nice but I'd like to see a pure brass version.
If I would like to test all my razors, how would I go about comparing quality of material?
I'd add 'especially when lacquered/plated'. Brass itself tarnishes relatively quickly, though that patina is usually sturdy in itself i.e. protects the proceeding 'layer' of brass.What is it that you're wanting to test? Ultimately the only meaningful test of the material a razor's made from is how well it holds up for prolonged use. On those grounds stainless steel is no better than brass, and you could argue that brass is the better material as it's extremely resistant to corrosion and easier to work with, lowering production costs.
Hear, hear!Don't forget the antiseptic properties of Copper alloys (such as brass) -one of the reasons this material was used extensively - its called oligodynamic effect (those Greeks with their words lol ) and its more enhanced in brass than stainless steel .
