Thanks Andreas. 
A quick update on the current razors. I’ve had a few more shaves with them and v2 is definitely the better of the two versions ergonomically.
The Chick blades work well with them, but the Prolines are definitely better. The v2 has turned out to be a pretty reasonable head shaver as well.

Certainly. Anyone who has tried V1 and V2 can try V3 as well. The more feedback the merrier.
I have ordered some magnets for the ends of the head. If they arrive in time I will use them.
The V3 is in the mail to me as well.

Right.
The magnets and the V3 have arrived.
Firstly: those magnets are tiny. Very, very tiny.
Secondly: head and base of the V3 don't fit easily. Well, they just don't fit.
I've spent more than half an hour filing around. It's almost impossible to get a small file inside the holes of the base.
And that's where I think I need to remove a little bit of material.
So far, no luck.
The magnets don't fit into the holes either. More filing required.
I'll give it a go, but I'm not looking forward to it.

Update:
With the Dremel it was still quite a bit of work, but the parts now fit.
I'm not sure about the cause of the issues, but I assume the print resolution was not high enough or transparent PLA is not a good material for the job.
Removing material from inside the holes is a pain.
Magnets:
Good news and bad news.
Good news: I managed to put all four small round magnets firmly into the razor - at the ends of cap and base.
Bad news: only two of them are superglued in. I first put the magnets in for fit and orientation, then I failed to remove two of them. the fit is too snug.
So they'll have to stay in without being superglued.
If they do fall out, put a tiny drop of superglue in the hole and re-insert (taking care of the right orientation, ask me for a convenient trick).
In case they fall out and get lost in some shaggy carpet (it happens), I'll include several spare magnets.
The superglue is currently drying and then I'll give the V3 a test shave.

V3 test shave done.
First, it was horrid. Turned out there was a rough bit of plastic on the guard, left over from printing.
So, I took a small file to the guard and that problem was solved.
Then I found out what I feared: I think it shaves just the same as V1 and V2.
Which means that I'm still not a great fan of the Wabbit. Give me a TNNSER any day.
On a positive note: the handle obviously looks much better now.
I'll post the razor to @ajc347 soon, so it can join V1 and V2.

In that case.......I think I will pass on this option......your hard work is much appreciated!

I had a look around the interweb and their wisdom is:
- superglue is not water-soluble
- don't use superglue on ABS printed objects, or else... the web is vague on "or else".
Luckily the V2 and V3 are printed from PLA, not ABS.
The V1 is ABS though. Maybe that can explain the magnet falling out.
Tom, @twhite, what type of adhesive did you use on the V1?

Your choice. Don't take my word for it though.
For some reason, the Wabbit and me don't click.
I seem to be alone with that opinion.
