Well... I bought a DE head from TGN thinking I might spin a handle for it out of something different when I decided to take it for a test drive to see what I'd spent my money on. I found a handle from a piece of junk razor I'd bought on the 'bay. It was made in India and didn't have any centering pins to keep the blade aligned. So I never used it and the handle is...meh at best. Then I saw the TGN head was mfg'd in India as well. Oh boy.
Anyway I load up with an Astra, lather up and proceed with what turns out to be a terrific shave. 2 passes and that was it. Very comfortable, nicely aggressive and no irritation. Upon a closer look it would seem that whoever mfg'd this thing copied the EJ89 head fairly closely. Now it may not be for everyone but if you have a custom handle or you want to get one, you could do a lot worse for a shaving head than this and the best part is it's only $17.
The photo is from the TGN website, I don't think Tony'll mind.
