Chinese futur clone

If I were a Frenchman I would be scouring the continent for a Kirby/Leresche DE razor. ;)

Yes, if the French were Britons they would be hunting for British Aristocrats (I mean the razors not the actual British Aristocrats...:D)

I think the hype right now among vintage DE razor fans in France is the adjustable Gibbs (with the black handle).
 
I had a shave with my beloved Futur this morning - I found I preferred the Mingshi! I am currently in mourning

The handle of the Mingshi is supposed to be lighter than the Futur, a contributing factor to why the MingShi is supposed to a touch less aggressive than the Futur.

My Mingshi gives a really superb shave, I like it a lot.
 
I've got another currently wangling its way through customs. Shouldn't be long before I have my backup Futur copy. :)

Edit: Rather bizarrely, it only now stated 'released by customs' on AliExpress and it actually arrived about 10 minutes ago! Exceptionally quick, cannot fault it. Still no sign of the TTO POS that I've been refunded for!

Is the mingshi not the same as the qshave?
Just different packaging I would have thought.

Difficult to say for sure, there is a very likely chance both models come from the same factory but they could receive QC from different companies/sellers.

I think the QShave model is supposed to have fewer issues with inconsistencies but I can't recall any owners with the MingShi having any problems with it.
