Maggard’s V3

I would say the V3A is like a Gillette adjustable set on 7 IMO. I really do like mine on their MR5 handle.

While I’ve never tried it, I have definitely heard the V3A is better.

SLOC-V3A / Astra SS (2). Another worthy Frankening.

I didn't take to the V3, It wasn't a bad head, but the V3A I love still one of my favorite razors, but they are affordable enough to try them all

I read some forums that the RR mentor and Mission and Maggard v3A and v3 are Yaqi brush company heads available on AliExpress and are quite a rage these days with their variety of brushes. Can anyone confirm this ?

I don't know that Yaqi is an OEM of razors , I do know I bought a V3A (chrome) from a distributor of Chinese stuff on eBay for about $6 shipped. The RR SLOC is certainly identical to the Yaqi version.

Pretty razor. Sounds like a good deal at somewhere between $7 and $10 for the head and cap.

I named this FrankenRazor Venom.
Like the comics character, he is an alien.
In his own way a good guy, even if he does not always do Good.

That's because Maggard Razors V3 head isn't your classic Edwin Jagger / Muehle (Standard) though it may seem like it.
In fact, I believe the asian production is all of the Standard Plus type as in this case, with slight but significant differences.
These materialize in greater effectiveness.
But paid net with less intuitiveness.
Without due attention, even with less comfort.
Unfortunately there is no possibility to find this information on the sales sites.
And it is practically impossible to notice by eye the differences with the European originals.

The differences are infinitesimal:
• arching of the topcap
• width of the topcap
• width of the base
• rounded finish of the nut

These differences are in points that define the dynamics of the blade. 
So even if almost invisible, they can be seen in the behavior of the razor.
Where the european Standard head shines for intuitiveness, ease and comfort ... the Asian Standard Plus is more grumpy.
Nothing that a little practice can't handle. But this report is aimed at those who start, and who advises the neophyte.

Here the Venom.
