I already read 2-3 threads about ZY razors and I had a few follow-up questions:

1- So what's been the long-term satisfaction?
2- Were there differences between the ones 'shave ready' by 'Master Shifu', and the 'regular' ones?

I'm asking because I want a razor to practice honing on, since I'll have a C12K soon.
So I don't want to spend much on something I may accidentally destroy. On the other hand, if I end up doing a decent job, I'd like to have a razor I can shave with

The threads mentioned plenty of bad grinds, and I'm not equipped nor willing to start a big fixing project. But if Master Shifu gives me a high likelihood of a good starting point, then that's a viable option
