Qshave (futur clone) review
Bored............................................. .......
Nothing much happening razor related lately, so decided to give one of these a go.
Sold my Merkur futur recently. Typical German engineering, almost impossible to fault. I just never used it, too many razors.
Not sure how they do it, but I couldn't send this razor by courier within New Zealand for what the whole thing cost delivered from China.
Delivery was not bad at 18 days, tracking was good, very good...
In fact within 8 hours of it arriving, I have had 2 emails and 1 app request to confirm delivery. "Why you no confirm derivery? You got lazor, comfirm derivery! Hully up, we know you got lazor....":deal:

...Yeah, it's here. Hold your horses...
Build looks OK, lighter than the Futur. Satin coating is different, may not last as long.
So the included shaving brush as seen in photo was no good at all, would not make a decent lather, believe me I tried..
Popped a blade in that came with the razor and checked alignment, apparently an issue with some of them, looked fine.
Lathered up and started at 1st setting, too low. Turned it up to 2, not bad on three days growth.
Second pass on 3, nice. Third pass set on 4, surprisingly good.
Have tried a few Chinese razors now including one made of gold that cost a dollar, and they have all been below average to put it mildly. This is a good razor for those on a budget, even the included blades seem to perform well. Hardly ever use a DE these days, but it was a fun experiment.
Please note, I am not affiliated with the seller in any way. Don't speak one word of Chinese, have never dated an asian lady..(dammit)..although I must admit I do like a good sweet and sour pork or beef black bean every now and again...
