No, I didn't. I probably should but it seems to be working well now.Did you correspond with Homelike about this error? Would be interesting to know what they think about it.
These are razors with a premium price tag after all.

The bling edition - razor of oligarchs! Photos will be required.
Not mine, but imbedded crystals (a la Mergress) - cool!
there was one that had 3
quite understated this one is....there was one that had 3 stones embedded on top of the top cap....a bit much.
Ordered by some dude in Canada.
still, if you're going oligarch might as well go full oligarch.
meanwhile shipping from Russia sucks...mine was shipped under most expensive shipping mode....still
stuck there after 12 days.
That one needs a little something to make it stand out.Interestingly the razor is probably the least embellished and decorated of personal tools, and usually tastefully done with an eye to minimally compromising the function of the tool. Except for Gillette's early stamped engravings (which were true art), and of course, this one :
So how does it compare to the Rex Ambassador?
Gottcha!This is my first non-vintage adjustable so no experience with Rex.
I can't really give any razor a 10/10 because the perfect razor has
not yet been made.
If I had to deduct points from the overall experience, it would be the long shipping.
I paid $45 for EMS shipping...it left them 17 June and got to me 14 July.
That's outrageous for an express mode of shipping, but I do acknowledge
that they may have no control over such things.
Sold the Gibbs....wow! Now THAT speaks volumes regarding the TAIGA!Excellent write up on the Taiga Titanium. I have enjoyed mine so much I have sold off several razors including the original SS Taiga with both baseplates and an original Gibbs #15
That's a pity then as I am not minded to spend 500 plus on a razor again even for a titanium one. I think my 2020 rocnel sailor will stay as the record holder for the most pricey razor I have ever bought !I think those SS models have been out of stock for quite a while.
