    Great, I also ordered from Uncle_Ding, so I guess I know what I will be receiving in the mail. On the bright side, at least you have the plastic travel case with mirror and brush you can use with a better razor.

    If I'm being honest he could be in the house next door to me, it doesn't matter. I was given a refund and he begged me to change my negative review. Which I will not. Bait and switch should not be tolerated.
    The razor is junk! It's not worth shipping.

    Yes. I posted the building 14 comment from memory, everything went in the trash can.

    Buy a Merkur Futur for $55 off Amazon. If you don't like it, sell it for $45 to someone else. You're out only $10 and no Uncle Dings required. ;)

    I ordered some. Check your order. The sellers have been changing the pics to some generic tto razor.

    AFAIK nobody ordering one of those non-China vendor $3 razors on eBay has received a Futur clone. Conversely, nobody ordering a $7 clone directly from QShave in Shenzen through AliExpress has gotten screwed.

    Sometimes you actually do get what you pay for...

    That's all well and good but most who are interested in the clone aren't interested in laying out $55. That's why they're here. I feel I did pretty well for $6.

    Well, toptop14, from the Philippines, is NOT from the Philippines. It's apparently Uncle_Ding

    telephone number 13723779057

    Not only did I get the Nanji NJ-997-3, I only received two of the three I ordered.

    100% chrome plated steel - but if you use a magnet, you can pop the bottom off of it, and see the nut holding the shaft in place.

    I didn't shave today, so I will attempt one on Saturday using the TTO that arrived. And I'll go ahead and use a Lab Blue for comparison. Just wish I had a styptic pencil or two, but I'll have an old face cloth and ice pack handy. Anyone else up for the challenge...............

    Remember - all automobile accidents boil down to a loose nut holding the wheel.
