Although I've not used the razor personally it's surprising to hear that as I've read good things about this razor especially for the cost of itMatte head arrived a couple of days ago. Must have come by air rather than by sea - a little over a week since ordering.
So far I've had a couple of shaves using a Schick Proline. Or rather 1.5: it's so bad I couldn't even finish the second try tonight. It feels rough, a little tuggy, and it doesn't cut very close. I find I have to buff repeatedly to clear a spot.
Halfway through I gave up and picked up my Merkur 985 (the open comb travel razor). It was whole a different league of smoothness and efficiency. No repeated buffing: just long smooth strokes.
Might have a go at grinding down the front lip of the baseplate to expose more of the blade. Out of the box, it's the kind of razor that makes you want to grow a beard.
Some days, you just get a bad shave ... go back to a certain combination a year later and it's bliss, leaving you wondering quite literally "what the ..."Not sure which version I've got. Bought from Aliexpress.
I'm kind of puzzled because most people like the shaves they get from this little razor.
Will try again with a fresh blade.
