I saw a razor for sale from alley express and it looked like a very interesting copy of an old school Gillette Tech.
It arrived the other day, and I was disappointed to see that the handle was very cheaply made. The knurling was uneven, and deeper in some areas than others.
The plating was already flaking off when it arrived.
I had a spare Gillette Tech handle, so I just swapped out the handle and it looked and felt much better.
I took it for a test shave, and found that with one side, I could barely cut any hair at all, but the other side was so out of whack that I nearly took a strip of skin off.
I remembered that I had a spare Gillette Tech head, so I swapped out the head and gave it another go.
Man, this thing shaves like a dream now. Well worth the purchase price!
