I get very good shaves with this.
This is indeed a wonderful shavette, at around $2 this is well priced too.

Mar 6: Vetiver Vendredi on Feather Friday
Lather: Cyril R. Salter Luxury Cream - French Vetiver
Brush: Semogue Barbear Classico Mistura (22/50mm)
Razor: Feather Artist Club SS 6/8
Blade: Feather Artist Club Professional [18]
Balm: Proraso White Crema Liquida Dopobarba
Another great shave in the books. It felt great to use a straight again after 6 days straight with a DE. Loaded the exact amount of cream I needed, the brush felt great, and the shave was smooth. That's my definition of a great shave, and the Feather SS was a large part of that success.

Like you, I also used a Magic Razor clone today ...
Mar 9: Magic Monday
Lather: RazoRock Puros
Brush: Semogue Barbear Classico Cerda (22/50mm)
Razor: Spilo Magic Razor 11/16 (clone)
Blade: Treet Platinum Super Stainless half blade [20]
Balm: Proraso White Crema Liquida Dopobarba
Broke out the Spilo Magic clone for today's shave, and even with a duller blade and 2-day stubble, it still gave me a better shave than the Universal I used on my last shave.
I split the a Treet blade with 38 shaves on it. Do I pro-rate it and call the blade having 19 shaves on it, since 38 shaves on two sides averages out to 19 shaves per side? Why not.

Looks good [emoji106][emoji106]
This razor quite literally cured my RAD [emoji120][emoji120]
Today's shave:
Cold water rinse.
Disco shavette push type (local).
Gillette permasharp (2).
Yardley Gold Shaving Cream.
Pearl boar hair brush.
Nature's Tattva witch hazel.
Biotique Wild Grass Aftershave.
Three pass + touch ups = BBS
Some irritation around chin.

If that's the case, treat yourself to the original Spill Magic that's made in Italy for about $20 (not the Magic Razor made in Pakistan). The Italian Spilo has metal parts that are thicker and better made, and the handle feels solid and more substantial.
I hear the similar Focus R21 is also high quality, but can't vouch for it first hand.
Note: the last Spilo I bought (used) was at least 5 years old, and I'm just assuming the modern ones are still made the same.
That is a Kai Captain clone (and a pretty good one). I own three and my son owns one. Great little shavers for the price.
Near perfect shave yesterday, one of those "wow" shaves, using my Feather SS loaded with a Proline blade somewhere in the middle of its useful life.
Fantastic lather with a beta soap from a forum member. Two passes, then a straight south to north along the jawline in the trouble areas.
DFS without any irritation or trouble whatsoever. Face felt amazing afterward.

Mar 13: X-Rated Vetiver Vendredi
Lather: Stirling Port au Prince
Brush: PAA The Green Ray Hybrid Tribble (24/57mm)
Razor: King Metal X-Razor 6/8
Blade: Treet Platinum Super Stainless half blade [21]
Balm: Olay Complete Sensitive SPF15
Another nice shave with the X-Razor. I like the aesthetics of this razor - it looks like the Warrior Bugs from Starship Troopers
I think I've fallen out of favor with low exposure shavettes, and seem to prefer ones with lots of exposed blade so I can get in there very shallow.

Looks like these are not available in India.
Will try to source it, once the covid-19 situation sorts out.
To everyone out there, stay safe and take care [emoji120]
I, for the first time, gave this a go. Not bad if I do say so myself. I’ve never used a shavette or straight before and I enjoyed myself.
got it a month ago from AliExpress.
