How can you be assured of getting the V2 version of the razor when you order from AliExpress? Or is it just a crapshoot?

If you look through their offerings, I found an item clearly labeled as V2 of the Z0 - it was the head only and you can see from the pictures that it looks like the v2 examples in this thread. I haven't received it yet, but it seems like I ordered the version I wanted.

I received my DSCosmetic Z0 v2 head today and shaved with it around midday. An impressively wonderful close shave was the result. It is aggressive, but I took my time and learned as best I could. I had three minor weepers that cleaned up quick, but the result was actually quite good. For me, this isn't a daily driver, but if I have two or more days of growth, it's a good choice. Today I used a fresh Shark SS blade. It worked fine, but there may be a better choice...a blade that will really sing in it. I paired it with a lightweight titanium handle from RazoRock, but I think a heavier handle would have made a better match as the balance didn't feel quite right. It's a heavy head and needs to be balanced out with a heavier handle. Will find something suitable for it. As of right now, I'm pleased with the purchase.

So I lathered up some Mike's Natural Barbershop, with a Yaqi Moka synthetic brush.
Years back I had a 2011 R41, and remembered that I had to "ride the bar". The steep vs shallow angle terms confuse me for some reason.

The shave was nice and close, but some spots gave me a bit of aftershave burn when I applied the Florida Water. I'll give this razor a few shaves and I'm sure I'll adapt to it.
