Perfect!!Got one on the way, will share my thoughts after it arrives
Looking forward to it.I have gone and ordered one so wait 2-3 weeks I imagine for it to arrive-just like the look of it-seems very well machined and polished etc-will post a review as soon as it arrives-
Keep us posted.On the way...
I ordered one of these a few weeks ago (the “light” version with two plates). Customs in my country takes forever, but hopefully I will receive it soon. This razor was always in my mind, but it was the release of the Homelike Shaving Start2 that prompted me to pull the trigger - I didn’t feel comfortable buying a razor from Russia and it occurred to me to check the Smart Helix website instead, and they had some in stock."SMART HELIX is a small group of creative engineers from Kharkiv, the leading scientific and technological center of Ukraine."
I got an Apollo Light with its stand, and it is a marvelous razor. Together with the Timeless Slim, Wunderbar (ok, I have too many favorites) one of my favorite razors. It also comes with a fancy box.
Supporting people in need is a very good thing to do. I would still suggest to WAIT preordering. They might be in Kharkiv and maybe even actively fighting for Ukraine, right now the city is under siege and there is an ongoing war.
I hope this war is over soon, but I would perhaps suggest to wait for things to cool down before ordering/preordering.
I recently considered shaving demonstratively with the Apollo, but I decided against that. I am supporting people in need as far as I can, but make things not difficult for moderators here by mixing politics, war and razors together.
Note highlighted text at the bottom of @Iridian's quote. I learned the hard way last night that there is a fine line between moderator interpretation of what is political and what is not re. the war in Ukraine. Mods keep the forum working smoothly and this is a touchy subject since our passion intersects with world events in this case. I hope as you do that Smart Helix is able to continue making fine shaving tools in the future. Here is mine, bought out of pure curiosity, now one of my favorite razors."SMART HELIX is a small group of creative engineers from Kharkiv, the leading scientific and technological center of Ukraine."

After using mine for a few shaves I have not noticed a big difference between the aggressive side and the mild side. Will take more shaves before I can be sure. How do you judge the aggression of each side?I've had one for about a year and a half now and it has remained one of my favorite razors.
