I purchased one of the new Cadet razors recently from Shave A Buck. Mine is the Model SS26/ TP26 which is a three piece razor with a black/ chrome handle reminiscent of a Gillette Super Adjustable, or Black Handled Superspeed.
I have had one shave with it so far, and here are my initial impressions:
-The chrome finish is acceptable, but not without minor flaws; the two cap studs having imperfect plating.
-The head design is similar to that of an Edwin Jagger/Muhle but with a much larger blade gap
-The handle has a decent amount of weight too it.
-The threaded stud coming out of the top cap is extremely long; I counted 10-11 full revolutions to remove the head from the handle.
-This is an extremely loud shaver.
Here is what I used for it's initial trial run:
-22mm Whipped Dog Black Badger custom brush
-Suds and Sparkles Tobacco Shaving Soap
-Dorco St301 blade
-Generic Witch Hazel
-Old Spice WhiteWater Aftershave
I got a very nice shave, with just a couple really minor cuts. Overall I like the shave. Certainly more testing is needed, but so far I am liking this razor.
