Futur Clone
This is a copy of the Merkur Futur.
Somebody at Merkur apparently let the patent lapse and these clones started popping up.
This particular one was bought from Yintal and was available in silver or black.
Like the Merkur it's a two piece, has a bit of a bulky head and is continually adjustable. I'm guessing that the clip and pin arrangement will also oxidise over time.
Other names that I've seen: Shave Factory, Q Shave, Van Der Hagen, Yatta.

How does it shave?
First shave with it and if memory serves me correctly, I think that it's very slightly less aggressive than my Merkur Futur.

If you are wondering how close a copy of a Futur it is?
Its so close that all the parts are interchangable except for the spring. That is base plate specific.
The handle on the Merkur Futur has Brass internals, this one is Zamak.
