Thread: ZY chinese razor.

First impression after first shave.
I have to say this blade is a razor, not a razor like object.
On arrival the razor looked pretty fair.
The injection moulded scales cracked at the pivot soon after the first opening. Oh well, the scales do not make it shave better.
The edge felt sharp enough to shave in the center third of the blade..
So I got out my slate stone and proceeded to hone the edge. It took a fair time to get a good edge indicating the steel was hard enough.
The cheap vinyl sheath is OK for what it is.

My first shave was as good as the best of my old blades
The crack in the scale is visible, one side only.
I will be shopping for some nice handle material.

For the price I am well pleased with it, better than the Gold Dollar.
I can't say if the quality is consistent in the general run of the ZY blades.
