I'm afraid I'll pass. If that's my only choice I'd have to go with the "Blackbeard" gig.

Ordered mine just now
Now you mention it, it is kinda funny that someone's posted what is probably one of the worst razors ever made, and everyone's suddenly rushing to get one. Badger & Blade, the number one forum for the discerning shaver. 😀I'm sitting outside enjoying a cigar for breakfast and just started cracking up reading your post. My neighbors are getting out of their car and probably think I'm nuts. Thanks for the fun read.
It's not very heavy is it?
Here is a razor that cost me 99 cents, including shipping: The Sik Bay
It's made of a post-space age synthetic with a partial coating of UV reflective material. That is, it's plastic with part of it painted with chrome-colored paint. With a blade, it weighs 9 grams.
How does it shave? About like you would expect from a 9 gram razor with a blade protruding like the fins on a 1959 Chevrolet. It's like grasping a razor blade with a pair of pliers and pulling it across your face. The result was remarkably close, but it was a slow and frightening experience that left me feeling as though I had indeed grasped a razor blade with a pair of pliers and pulled it across my face. No collar on my shirt today, boys.
This is science. We do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
Sorry about the crap photos. I was still trembling a little from the experience.
It did: A tuck of Sharks with 4 blades and a full tuck of Ying Ji Li. It was advertised as coming with blades, but I think they threw in the Sharks because my order didn't make it to me the first time and they had to reship. I haven't used any of the blades they sent me.Did your razor come with blades? If so, did you try them?
Could one of these with a Graham-Field blade be perhaps the worst possible shaving experience ever?
Enquiring minds want to know!

I'd certainly give the metal Merkur looking thing a go!
