Standardised... you would think so right? So did I. In fact they are not. The blades have a tolerance. Even DE blades have tolerances.

Please clarify- are you referring to the return of Razors which do not fit Schick or Kai blades, or just those having problems with Feather Blades.
Personally I am really enjoying The Razor with the FP Blade, formerly a blade which did not work well for me.
HI - if you are satisfied then don't change it. Feather pro blades are the best in fact a bunch of guys here in HK (Hong Kong Set Shaving Society) swear that Proguards are best in this one.

Wed 29th September.
I have now completed 7 consecutive Shaves with The Evolution. After I received it I tried to fit both Schick and Kai Blades into it, and was disappointed that they did not fractionally. Both Feather blades did perfectly.
I decided to try it out with a Feather Pro which was not really my favourite AC Blade. However on my first Shave I found that in this Razor it worked well, being smooth yet efficient - The all round finish was more than satisfactory. After a couple of days I felt confident enough to push the razor a bit to get a really good finish.I am quite pleased to say that I have had a succession of rather fine Face Stroking Shaves, all mishap free.
I have a rather dense harsh beard that ideally needs Shaving daily. I have found this combo not only smooth and comfortable but also forgiving. The design of the Razor allows me to work really well around the nostrils and upper lip, and the handle is excellent when working around the neck/chin tip.
So 7 Shaves in and I am starting to think that for me this is one of the best S/S AC/SE razors that I have used. I also like the functional non blingy finish. A good buy for me.

No. Steve asked for return if I wanted a full head swap but not for the cap.
Patiently waiting for the top cap. It finally left HK on 12th October. Maybe I'll see it next week.

Not being disrespectful, but why would anyone purchase this blade holder?

To be fair, we weren't aware of the issue until the razors were dispatched and feedback started coming in. Hopefully my new cap puts the issue to bed and I can start enjoying the razor. Having originally ordered the razor on 31st August my enthusiasm has somewhat waned for it now though.
