QShave -Parthenon Adjustable Razor HD

Company: QShave & WEISHI Product: Parthenon Adjustable Razor Kickstarter ** Please Note - A Follow up video released this week When I saw this Kickstarter from QShave in early March of 2018 I was actually very excited about it. QSHAVE is a leading brand of men’s grooming and provides shaving supplies and service to over 100,000 customers worldwide every year. Partnering with them on this venture is WEISHI a manufactured of razors since 1988, and has produced millions of razors for big brands in US and European markets as an OEM vendor. They both have worked together on the creation of Parthenon which you think would yield a great result but sadly this is not the case. My Kickstarter offering was at $49.00 this included a Razor and 1 Tin full of 5 blade pack for a total of 50 Feather blades. I was the 520th backer of this project on March 29th, 2018. I felt like I had entered into something that was really different a razor that would make some changes. The project was totally funded on April 2, 2018, with a total of 532 backers. As I waited for the day when I would have this in my hands it wasn’t long before the first email came telling us how things are going. April 11th it read “We just got the first sample out of the tooling. Better than we expected, just a few minor things need to be fixed. I think one design change we have made needs to be mentioned here. We found the adjustable dial is a little bit slippery, so we add a pattern on it. Now you can easily turn it even when your fingers are wet or with shaving soap lather.” In May another email “The first batch of Parthenon razors about 200 pcs are ready. Looking good! We are doing the final quality check and packaging. We will ship them out based on the backer number. The rest of razors are already in production. They will be ready very soon.” This was getting exciting I couldn’t wait to see this thing in action. On May 14 they announced a shipping error which benefited a few people with getting two razors great for some, unfortunately, I was not one of them. Finally, on May 21 the email came that informed me my razor was on its way. When it arrived you could see how carefully it was packaged and inside the bubble, wrapping was the tin of blades and the razor. The Parthenon is absolutely stunning and the chrome plating is flawless. Right away you notice the handle design it was inspired by Doric columns from ancient Greece and the head of the razor seems to take its shape from that as well. The weight of the razor is much heavier than I anticipated and for me, it had all the right proportions it fit well in the hand and the balance was just perfect. So aesthetically it’s a perfect razor but that’s where perfection ends and the troubles begin. Before I continue let me make this perfectly clear, this was my experience and your mileage may vary. The grip of the Parthenon was extremely unique it allowed me to really get a firm grip and never left my hand during my testing. Blade loading
