Technical Manifest
- OriginTaiwan
- MaterialZinc alloy, Stainless steel, Brass[3,4]
- Warranty1 year limited warranty[1,2]
- Repairability6/10(LIMITED Parts)[11,12]
- "Score 6/10: The razor contains 17 parts including small springs and screws. While the manufacturer offers repair services, user-repair is difficult due to small, non-standard assembly. It is not a simple 3-piece design like traditional safety razors."
The Comparison Standard
Financial Verdict
"Requires replacing razor blades. Compatible with standard Double Edge (DE) blades snapped in half. Cleaning required to prevent soap scum buildup in pivot."
- DE Razor Blades (Generic)$6.00/yr
- Pivot Spring (Yr )TBD
Failure Threat Matrix[6,7,8,9,10]
| Failure Mode | Likelihood | Est. Onset | Mitigation Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pivot Spring Fatigue | Low (after 3-5 years) | Random | Contact manufacturer for repair/replacement. Keep unit clean to reduce friction. |
| Thread Stripping | Medium | Random | Do not over-tighten the blade holder screw. Finger-tight only. |
