I have the chinese clone of this one, the only thing missing are the magnets to hold the blade in place. Just a little bit fiddly, but for ~$7 it's more than worth it, it shaves better (more edficiently) than the SS clone, but less precise for my goatee than the DX clone.
I also have the Yaqi version in a drawer somewhere. It is very loose and the balance is odd....so it hasn't been used yetI have the chinese clone of this one, the only thing missing are the magnets to hold the blade in place.

This obe has no issues with the balance, much better made, but i only guess that because i skipped on the Yaqi clone because of balance issues stated on several forums and reviews. Apparently the "wedge" end of the scales is too heavy due to it being a full metal cast. The only minor issue i have with my clone is the pivot pin being a screw and it's a bit loose for me but not a problem. I'll take it apart and put a thicker plastic razor washer on one side.I also have the Yaqi version in a drawer somewhere. It is very loose and the balance is odd....so it hasn't been used yet
