gentlemen
I received my new Maggard razor (mr1) a few days back, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. most of my experience is with straights, other than my grandfather's 64 Gillette slim. I hardly use a DE anymore, but it is my travel razor, and I wanted something that i wouldn't be afraid to lose. a heirloom is NOT a good travel razor. anyway I decided that for the money, it looked like a sweet deal.
now that I got it and used it a couple of times I can honestly say: it IS a sweet deal! the mr1 is half the price of the EJ it clones, is well plated, smooth and gave a 2 pass BBS. I like the weight, I like the angles, I like the just right aggressiveness. it is definitely a keeper.
I was wondering, since I have zero experience with EJ, can anyone who tried both give an educated comparison?
