Hello gentlemen,
I just received the new Gentle Shaver by Geisen & Forsthoff. But suddenly I got unsettled by the handle not being perpendicular to the head - it's obvious for the first sight. At start I though the screw on the head is bent so the handle attaches awry but when looking at the screw hole in the handle I can clearly see the hole has been drilled off-centre. According to the spirit level the handle is around 0,4° off the right angle to the head. Please look at attachments. Since it's my first DE razor I don't know what's supposed to fit in the limit of the manufacturing tolerance considering how high quality traditional DE razors are, the well-respected brand it has been made by and the delicacy of the wet shaving causing the difference between a clean shave or a cut skin. So If you could please evaluate those pictures and look at your chromium-plated prides whether you can notice the same imperfection.
Thanks.
