Marius, you're killing me. Just had to get one to compare with the Black Friday deals offered....

Is it the polish, or does it have different blade exposure? It looks to me like they ordered a Vector and laser scanned it and just CNCd it themselves?

Considering shaving characteristics, it’s totally different than the Vector, geometry is different and blade gap and exposure are also different. The only thing that is similar is the Vector screw imo. The Romulus makes it safer and easier to load and unload blade. I never put the top cap backwards like I always seem to do with the Vector. In reality it shaves more similar to the Colonial General V2 to me. (Although I still believe Romulus is a copy of the Vector without a doubt) 

I really dislike the handle on the Romulus. It’s uncomfortable to hold and way to slippery. Ordered the yaqi chippendale handle (darwin clone) to go with the head.

Not passing judgement on any customers that go this route but to ME, this is so obviously a theft of Shane's Blackland Razors's legitimate intellectual property rights that, as much as desire to compare the shave characteristics, feel morally proscribed from so doing.

Have to pass and shall ardently endeavour not to belabour the point for others.
