I’ll try it with tomorrow’s shave.
But it’s a real bargain for a brass CNC machined, sandblasted satin finish, covered blade tabs razor!
Will come back tomorrow with shave’s result.

Ok, so I had a great shave with the Bayonetta this morning.
There was much more blade feel than I expected.
I'd compare it with a Karve CB plate C or D.
Good balance, good grip, great razor!
I'll try it with a fesh new blade tomorrow.
I was shaving with an Asco Platinum since a few days.

Have great shaves!

Update:

Beware, there's a flaw with this razor: there's blade play in the head.
The blade is held in place with two central "channels" similar to the Henson, but with the Bayonneta they're not large enough to held the blade in a precise way, so you can get uneven balde alignment.
And with the covered blade tabs, you can't easily realign it.
Sorry, no cigars, but I'll keep the handle.

That is unfortunate. That is why I prefer exposed blade tabs, in case I need to realign. It is a nice handle.

At the very top of the tabs the tolerances seem to be good. I tried putting in the blade skew, after loosening and tightening the handle twice, the blade was perfectly aligned.

Same here, bad alignment. There is blade play. It's not something critical, yet unacceptable to me. I am sorry to say that I believe the whole batch has this issue, I know more guys getting that and the tabs can't be much different in other razors. I think some people just don't see a 0.05/0.1 off when tightened the handle?

Can someone please post photos of the alignment issue? This is supposed to be a CNC machined razor, so I'm interested in where the fault is. Thanks.

Same problem for me. Sending it back. Cheap is cheap.
