Anyone tried the Simbatech razor?

    I noticed that they are on sale now (at about $50 shipped) and was curious if anyone here have tried them.
    It has a very different head and handle. Four pieces in total.

    If you watch the video below (at the 7.30 mark) you can see that you actually load two DE blades into it.

    Here's a video showing off the razor:

    Hmm... Mantic59 seemed to NOT like it >here<.

    I wonder how it compares to that Russian jobbie that @GDCarrington reviewed >here<
    ?

    Man, that looks like something Gillette would try to come up with, nowadays! No offence to anyone who has one! :)
    There are a few gentlemen on the Spanish Forum that I am a member on and they seem to like it, just fine.

    It seems that it needs to be used vertically based on the blade and head placement. The one I used from Russia does not suffer from that limitation, because the top blade set is thinner than the standard blade, but does require you to cut blades to get an geometry that we are more accustomed to using.

    Seems to be much more difficult to use versus the Russian model.

    Thanks for the posting.
