I bought a Russian knockoff of the Phoenix Artisan razor. It's made in Moscow from Carbomix 10UV. The color is mediocre, and there are some defective black specks in the handle. But the way it shaves — I'm absolutely thrilled!

Besides, this is the first slant razor I've ever held, and I can confidently say that, even though I'm not entirely convinced of the benefits of blade twist, I now want to buy a couple more slants.
