I have two. They're really good for their $20 price.
Very nice weight - slightly heavier than my 40s SS. Doors and blade centering are perfectly even. TTO works smoothly, stays locked, and is more reistant to gumming up than my 40s SS. Plating is very well done all over.
It's a mild razor though - about one notch less aggressive than my 40s SS. It comes with Dorco blades. It works better with a less mild blade. Astra's make it shave a little more aggressive than my 40s SS with Dorcos. The weight and balance are nice too. It's slightly head-heavy, with an overall weight between my SS and Weber. Probably about 1/3 heavier than the SS, and 2/3 as heavy as the Weber.
The mold or assembly jig used to make the razor isn't perfect though. The safety bar was also 1/3 mm lower on the left corner (on both sides, and on 2 different razors)'. I tweaked the high side with a wide screwdriver and made the gap even in a few minutes. I tweaked on of them wider all the way around, and it shaves more aggressively. It wasn't hard to do.
The case also seems sturdy plastic with a good hinge.
