My order of brushes and makeup brushes, etc finally arrived from Yaqi. As a pleasant little surprise they included one of their heads, non mellon variety. I figured it was worth a go so I attached it to a handle and dropped a new IP Red in it. So, some backstory first.
I like efficient razors. The R41, ATT H1, Ascension opened up, Karve F, MMOC, etc are my daily drivers. I had no expectations on this razor other than it was free.
WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE THIS RAZOR IS! Seriously it was efficent but not aggressive feeling. I am probably the wrong person to say that so YMMV, but it was smooth AND efficient. It took down 2+ days with ease. I could have stopped at 2 passes but i went for three. I followed up and no AS sting at all. I looked at the price. $4.00. Are you kidding me? This is a steal. I can't believe how great this razor is. Needless to say I ordered a handle for it (or to replace the Purple Tip from my R41, we'll see).
The best part, I didn't feel any stubble until 18 hours later or so and then just a little. I could have skipped shaving today and still had a DFS.
I'd like to head someone's opinion on it that prefers more mainstream razors. It's going to be a permanent addition to my den for sure.
I followed up with the Ascension this morning with the same blade, I want to see if it lasts as long. I know my R41 will, but now I am curious
