A shave with the QShave razor (also sold as the Mingshi). I purchased mine for less than tgen dollars. At thst time, it came with freee shipping. This is a clone of the wonderful Merkur Futur razor. Is the clone as good as the Futur?

@willcartershaves 6 лет назад

im sorry i didnt state the setting i had mine on,,,it was on 3,,,,the whole shave both passes on 3 and it did a beautiful job....aggressive a lil bit but i love it,,,smooth as silk,,it shaves better than my black beauty even

@MarkSzorady 6 лет назад

No problem.:) As with any razor, YMMV.:) I have several adjustable razors. In using them, I sometimes get confused where the best setting is for each.:) G;ad ot hear the QShave works well for you.:) If I were to travel, this is one of the razors I'd consider taking. It's adjustable and cost me very little. I can afford to lose it. Although, I know I'd be mad as hornets for losing it!):) The point is, with the QShave, I'd only be out ten bucks or so. Whereas if I were to lose my Merkur Futur, I'm looking at 80 bucks to replace.

@davidcoleman2463 6 лет назад

I have a few good Razer's but for $10 I'd love to get one just to try . I like your videos . Thanks

@MarkSzorady 6 лет назад

David, here's the QShave razor on AliExpress: goo.gl/8YHLTm Just over 11 bucks.:) Here it is as the MingShi: goo.gl/RZTw4T Again, just over 11 bucks. If you search for "adjustable razor" on the site, you'll find that there are other brands/manufacturers/sellers selling the same razor. Since making the video, the price has gone up just a bit. Most razors offered are in the 11 to 12 dollar range (depending on what other items you add to the package - blades, stand, cover, etc.). Still, it's under 13 bucks with free shipping.

@Dev9172 6 лет назад

I do not like those big razers . But for the money I may just get one to try it . I have a Merkur 38c and a Edwin Jagger de89 . I love them both . Thanks . Your videos are good .

@bobleroe3859 3 года назад

So I got a QShave adjustable and had trouble getting the cap back on; I even cut my finger trying. I think I prefer the butterfly option.

@MarkSzorady 3 года назад

Bob, sorry to hear this. When adjusting, I sometimes hold the razor head in a towel. Agree, butterfly TTOs are great! t's the very reason why my first razor was the Chieftain. I wanted the safety and ease of use of a TTO. Plus, end tabs of the blade were enclosed. A couple of good points for those looking for a safety razorand wanting to move to the traditional wet shave.:)

@bobleroe3859 3 года назад

@@MarkSzorady I have about 7 razors, some enclosed, others not, and I haven't had a problem with that. You make closing it look easy in the videos. I'll be more careful. I did get a good shave from it, and I liked the weight and balance.

@MarkSzorady 3 года назад

@@bobleroe3859 Sometimes it's not the razor at all. It cn be jsut handling theblade that bites. Once in a blue moon. I do a couple of things to try and alleviate that. I think I may discuss these on MMMB as it's easier to show than to type out.

There's a stand-alone razor stand (cup style) made just for the Futur (Q-Shave). I put Plasti Dip on my handle so it doesn't slip.

I just used mine for the first time I used Proraso pre/post barrister and man “cool” very Agressive on the higher settings

@MarkSzorady 4 года назад

Nice. Not a bad razor for the money. I don't think the calibration and Q/C is as strict as the Merkur Futur, but it does give a nice shave. How's the blade balance?

@mikerose51 4 года назад

Hey mark! 💈😁✌️💈 I didn’t notice anything wrong but next time I shave with it I will take a closer look

@MarkSzorady 4 года назад

I only mention because some have reported that the blade balance is off. Mine feels like it is off just a hair. Not a deal breaker. Some have reported a large imbalance. One fix is to simply flip the cap around.:) If it ever feels off, give that a try. My guess is, though, that's it's fine.:)

@mikerose51 4 года назад

Update: yes I just did a shave with it this morning and the one side is indeed more aggressive and the other is normal.. people could think of it like the Vikings Blade Emperor with the scalloped side and straight bar side lol. Or I could only use the good side. I used both today and I even got a nick on a low setting on the messed up side thinking i was safe lol smh

@MarkSzorady 4 года назад

@@mikerose51 Sounds like mine, not too noticeable but still off a bit.

@jazjac17 6 лет назад

Nice vid Mark. My Q shave was a disaster, blade balance was bad, the bottom plate was bent, so it bent both ends of the blade up and the screw thread in the handle was so loose with the thread on the bottom plate it wobbled just by looking at it. I got the merkur futur after that. It is my top razor by far. Get what you pay for, or luck with the q shave you recieve. Mine was a dud.

@MarkSzorady 6 лет назад

jazjac17 so sorry to hear this. I've had similar experience with other bargain razors. Alignment, etc. Was way off. I agree. You get what you pay for.

I've got one myself, but I just seem to be terrible at shaving with it, constantly cutting myself, especially around the nose.

@MarkSzorady 5 лет назад

Well, without knowing too much about your skin, beard, age, etc., I can only take a guess and suggest a few things. Give Tabac Shaving soap or Mitchell's Wool Fat shaving soap a try. You just may need a lather that gives a bit more protection. Perhaps a pre-shave oil is in order, too. Also, start out at the lowest setting and don't dial up too much for successive passes. Try only two shave passes at mild settings. Remember, use a light touch and let the weight of the razor do all the work. It's like golf. Let the club do the work.:) Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap in Dish: amzn.to/2RNwg8K Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Refill Soap: amzn.to/2PRXVrZ Tabac Original By Maurer & Wirtz For Men.

@murielmorales5332 3 года назад

Hey! Thanks for the review :) I’m thinking on buying this Qrazor for Leg use , haha do you think this would work? Thanks!

@MarkSzorady 3 года назад

Hi, Muriel Morales. I'm not really sure. I'd think that for shaving the legs, you'd want a handle with some more knurling and grip, correct? the QShave's handle is somewhat smooth, although the matte finish does give it some grippiness plus the indentation the handle affords a good ledge, so to speak, to grasp it. I'm guessing it would work as well as any other razor provided your hands were kept dry. I know when I use the QShve (or Futur), I make sure ot dry my hands a bit.

@murielmorales5332 3 года назад

Mark Szorady thanks for the answer!! No I’m more clear about it. Have a great day!

@jillsnoddon4463 6 лет назад

Did you even have growth on your face? Maybe being so fair skinned, it doesn't show up on camera. I'm a mid-January 2018 newbie to DE wet shaving as you know. I am now in the process of testing out two sample packs of razors I have. I chose this QShave Razor to test them as I can learn the razor and it is adjustable. I used Plasti Dip on the handle and it is absolutely wonderful for grip. I bought the stand for the QShave at the same time. I have to use that stand for another razor as the Plasti Dip makes it too thick to use the stand it is made for. I like using the bloom water for a pre-shave.

@MarkSzorady 6 лет назад

Is your blade evenly balanced on both sides?

@jillsnoddon4463 6 лет назад

Yes, I always check for that.

@MarkSzorady 6 лет назад

Jill Snoddon Yes. I have s good deal of growth. I am fairly skinned for sure. Even though I've lost my hair, I'm blonde haired , blue eyed. Probably hard to see on camera even though I recently upgraded.:)
