I was perusing AliExpress adjustables (as you do) and noticed when I re-installed the app it saw me as a new user, end result, I was offered a Yintal adjustable (Futur clone), with the press to open for a very reasonable 70p, delivered.

How does it shave you ask? Pretty bad, but still 70p, with 5 crap blades and free express delivery I can't complain.

The blade alignment is spot on but the blade shifted on 1st use, that might have been me though. The top cap release button is spring loaded, so a press of this sends the top cap flying across the room, which I think is hilarious. Even on setting 2 the blade gap appears huge.

Still, 70p.

2nd outing, and its actually....... ok. Played around with the angle of attack and took the adjustment between 1-3 and found 2.5 reasonably lethal. Its got a big blade gap, on 2.5 it looks like its yawning, but I'd have to say I ended up with a very close shave with surprisingly low irritation. That said, its no daily driver and unlike my gamechanger which I can throw at my face to get a decent shave this thing does require a significant amount if care and attention, one wrong move and its tissue time but maybe that's the Futur clone head for you, who knows. Well, maybe you guys.
 
I've seen this one a few months ago, but that top cap release button is where I tend to put my pinky and I feel like I'd probably disengage the top cap at some point during the shave by accident. :unsure:

In all fairness it takes a full press of the button, with a bit of pressure, to release the cap so accidental release is unlikely, however the slim possibility of the top cap flying off just as you get to your adam's apple should provide quite the exciting shave!
