Yes, I do have a plan for NOVember. No, I can't start it yet due to one particular item being stuck on a slow boat between Moscow and New York. I actually have two pieces to the puzzle still on the way but one isn't critical to make it happen. I didn't count on a longer than usual transit time across the big pond. Soooooo.....my main NOVember plans are on hold until everything is within these four walls.
In the meantime, I'm going to join
@RyX in focusing on my Futur clone. I've used it just enough to know it's different and fun so a few days or more with it should help me dial it in and get up to speed with it. He has the Ming Shi, mine is the Qshave. The difference? One starts with M, the other with Q. Well, ok, actually they're both Chinese made and are almost the same weight. Ming Shi is 97 grams, Qshave is 100. Both claim 4" handles and 4.5" length overall. Close enough when I measured mine. Compared to the real Futur they are lighter by 22-25 grams and are about the same otherwise.
The Qshave comes with its own branded blades, and the package on the blades says they are made in the USA. I'm intrigued and trying to find out exactly where. I haven't tried one of the Qshave blades yet but.....why not......it will be the first blade I use this month in the razor. If it sucks I'll switch out to something I know and trust. However, I'm going to use non-Russian blades during the time I"m using the Qshave.
I'm looking forward to comparing notes between the razors with Rick and it should be a fun way to start the month! Who knows......if they delay my other stuff long enough this may become a month long thing.
