I've always liked the design of their razors and when I heard that they were looking at releasing an adjustable I ordered from the first batch.
In my humble opinion, it really is a great looking razor. Its all stainless steel razor with a totally new and very ingenious take on adjustability with the two solid bars moving in and out. The third image below shows the position of the moving plates in the 1 and 5 positions.
The L'Essor Le Supreme (See HERE) is another that does this allbeit a different mechanism. Turn the dial under the head and it moves the bars.
When I received it, I found the adjustment dial difficult to move. It has a little O-ring that provides the resistance that holds the adjustment, so I put a bit of vaseline in it which allows it to move smoothly and at the same time enough tension to hold the adjustment.
There are two...
Its too mild - 1 should be where 3 currently is.
The "setting" window is way too small for my eyes to see and the black background, I suspect that the black will wear off over time and that will make the numbers even more difficult to see.
Some say that the handle length is too short, but for me its pretty much spot-on and if anything a tad too long
They have put their "T" on the base plate - I love the attention to detail.
Tatara provide a key to dismantle it for deep cleaning.
