Erfa Rasant - Gen 6
I believe this to be a Sixth and final Generation Erfa Rasant.
I think that the topcap is zamak. Its painted with a "hammered" finish and is well finished considering. Visually the dimensions of the Gen5 vs the Gen6 look the same. There are also no alignment dots.
In keeping with the previous changes, the handle was changed but because it was moulded they included the base plate. The middle "adjuster" plate is identical to the one on the Gen5. Like the Gen5 it's also pressed aluminium. The edges of the safety bars have very ridges and they brought back the lather holes.

How does it shave?
My first shave with it so it could change. I expected it to be similar to the 5th Gen version, but it's a fair bit milder.
I used a new Wizamet for the first shave and revisited to two days later with the same blade. I also overclocked it and its still a mild shaver.
I then tried a Feather - It's slightly better but still a mild shaver.
