Thanked: 4822That is very close. Amazing, however I find it odd that a Korean company would imitate a Japanese company with the cultural tensions that exist there.

Thanked: 4822True. Sometimes it is also that they may have been made to be spiteful too. We made one very similar, except ours are way better. I can see that thrown out there with a little attitude to accompany it. I had not really thought of it like that until you said Gillette and Russia together in the same sentence. It is a nice razor all the same. I have not used it a lot, but it seems to have held it's edge that it came with fairly well.

Thanked: 169The russian copies of the gillettes are pretty shockingly bad. The polish wizamet adjustable copy is excellent.

Thanked: 169It was bad oversight on the part of samsung or whoever made this to not plug the unfilled bit of the channel cut in the frame for the blade. Should have plugged it with metal or resin to prevent water ingress
