Fantastic. Great touch.. seriously impressed... Hope it shaves okTungsten insert @Rowlers
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, seems great value.
Just collected from DO.
Massively impressed with the precision that this is machined to. Zero wiggle on the top cap and base plate. I'm guessing that there's a stainless insert where the handle attaches to the base? Or it could just be plain Aluminium to prevent the anodising wearing off... The threads are smooth as silk.. Very very impressed. Shave report later.
Crikey, that won't wear out any time soon!Tungsten insert @Rowlers
It’s an insert made of Tungsten according to the manufacturers, Lee. It’s designed to reduce friction and wear between the handle and baseplate.I'm guessing that there's a stainless insert where the handle attaches to the base? Or it could just be plain Aluminium to prevent the anodising wearing off...
WOW!
First shave done. Gobsmacked, amazing... Wizardry.
The blade is clamped SO firmly that the is ZERO, and I mean zero blade chatter, noise. Not a great deal of blade exposure, feel, but you do know it's there. It behaves like a an SE so stiff is the blade held. The weight is perfect, the handle length is perfect.
Everything about this razor is absolutely spot on, I wouldn't change anything. Maybe Gents that love massive gaps and loads of blade feel may not like it but for me it is PERFECT!
Well done @HensonShaving - marvellous.
Believe so, I asked for black and red, it was one of his optionsWOW!
Good enough for me, I'll be purchasing. Is it just shaving station that has them in UK? I'll have to wait for the black or black and red.
Ahh Damn Lee, I wish you hadn’t posted such a positive review, wallet takes another hit!

Yeah prefer the black or the black and red. Only one tempting me slightly is the blue/red.Looking at his site he has Blue, Red or his Blue/Red left
I'm not Rowlers, but I'd say it's in the Fatip Testina Gentile ballpark.Efficiency wise Lee @Rowlers, could you compare it to another razor you own/ have used?
