It's not quite Friday, yet, but here's my Frankenrazor Friday contribution....
Generic Chinese top cap (looks identical to the Yintal YT-L001 head) with a Maggard V3 multi-colour base plate on a RazoRock Barber Pole handle:
I mentioned in another thread about the Maggard head having blade misalignment issues. No matter how much I fiddled with it, one side always had more blade exposure (~0.4mm). However, after checking dimensions, I swapped the generic Chinese top cap on and the problem is solved; both sides have equal exposure now. It seems that the problem lies with the Maggard V3 cap.
The Maggard MR11 handle didn't engage the Chinese cap's post very well because it's slightly shorter than normal. The RR handle had no issues.
As for the performance... This combination is super aggressive. I like an aggressive razor, but this is over the top. On the other hand, it's extremely efficient. I was pleased with the results, although it wasn't exactly a relaxing shave. I'll only use this combination when I'm wide awake!
Anyway, this was a cheap fix for the misaligned Maggard head. The generic Chinese head only cost $2.49 CDN ($1.89 US) on AliExpress.
