Thank you for such an honest review!! I'm so tired of seeing glowing reviews for pearl products by KZbinrs cos they don't want to bite the hand that feeds them!! The sleek v2 also sucks. My one also has a big gap above the blade!

Awesome to hear from you and as always great videos! I received mine and looked again in attention to those details and fortunately mine was totally fine. It is a pity that good QA is not in place then. Cheers buddy

Great video Chris. I really like your honesty in your reviews, as if you find something shit, you say its shit, unlike other You Tubers who won't say a bad word about something in fear of them not getting sent anymore products from them. I've got to admit that if a razor requires a washer to be used for the handle to fit correctly to the baseplate/top cap, that is a failure on their design department, regardless of the price. To me the addition of the washer needing to be used makes me think that they found a last-minute issue with the fit of the handle and the baseplate/top cap, and rather than getting to the bottom of it and sorting it, they have thought "just put a washer on to sort it". That washer is asking to be lost/lost down the sink. I really Pearl needs to up their game in the design department, due to past problems with their razors and also with this particular razor.

I use the handle of the Semi-Slant with my Yaqi Excalibur - pretty good pairing. The semi-slant works reasonably well, but isn't outstanding.

Good to see you back, Chris. Needed a shave after the beatdown at OT eh ;)

Pearl should be apologizing for sending you those poorly-made razors. Your honest reviews have convinced me to stay away from Pearl products. You are right that sending out crap for review is not smart. BTW, I love my RazoRock Game Changer. They make quality safety razors.

My suggestion is . Nope nope nope and nope. When you showed the one side of the top plate showing how uneven it is going down. It looked like someone had over filed it. And the non blade exposure on the other side is. Where is quality control when that one was released? I would skip that razor. I can also see if the handle was over tightened how the screw could break off just from the angle its at.

Not sure of the price point market Pearl are targeting. Their quality is always poor until they go through many upgrades. Agree with the aesthetics of the handle it does look like a bolt.

Imagine what someone like Chris at Karve would do if products came out like that. He wouldn't even photograph them, never mind send them to people as a gleaming example of his product quality.

They had exactly the same machining problems with the early Pearl Blaze razors. All the heads were wonky. The recent problems with their single blade razor were laughable. Pearl’s quality control has historically been absolutely awful.

Not good at all just shows you how many faults can be picked identified.but to be fair I’ve thoroughly gone over my Flexi open comb and it’s Darn good but that doesn’t excuse all these issues with the Razors in the video.
