Closing thoughts:

I'm grateful for having had the opportunity to try one, but won't be buying one.

Pros
Razor is mild but effective
Can be used at any speed and angle without real consequence

Cons
Very light - feels cheap although I'm sure it isn't
Handle knurling is rough and too small all at the same time.
Teeth on the closed bar feel like they detract from the shave result like they are in the way.

I think the head with the right handle could make a difference but all in all it just doesn't sit right with me. I couldn't love it even with my favourite UFO handle, balance just feels off.

Thanks for the opportunity to try it, it's off to Andy today. Apologies for the delay, working away has prevented me sending it sooner.
 
Thanks, Matt

If the next person on the list PMs me their postal address I shall send it on after one final shave.

Thoughts so far are that it is so very mild even with a sharp blade in and for me at least it is very sensitive to shave angle. Probably not surprising as if the angle is off slightly either the bar or the end of the top cap is scraping off lather instead. Final thoughts to follow.
 
4 shaves with the saygus so judgment time

Would I buy one? Well it looks the part the design looks great but performance wise it falls flat. I would only buy if a more aggressive head was available
