Great video. Just got one of these and yours is the best video I found explaining how to disassemble it. Greece is a lovely country. Thank you from the UK
Notice that the baseplate has 2 dots in one side. Also notice that the cap has a flipping side (for flipping it and loading the blade). The dotted baseplate side should face the opposite side off the flipping side of the cap. This tip along with tightening the baseplate like you showed fixed all allignment issues, gaps etc. that I had. Again, its a Chinese mass made product, so quality control can vary. A last tip if you done all the above and still facing issues is trying flipping the spring. Thats all. Great smooth saving with this razor, every single time. Χαιρετίσματα από Κύπρο!
I didn't knew that trick! Thank you for sharing this! Greeting from Greece and thank you very much for your support! Χαιρετίσματα από Ελλάδα και σε ευχαριστώ πολύ για την στήριξη! 😉👍
This helped me out, i disassembled my Futur and on setting 1 the baseplate was not fully seated but when I changed the orientation of the blade holder is seated correctly.
Hi Loakim- Very helpful video; thank you! My name is Mike H and I am a new subscriber to your channel. Johnny Johansson recommended your channel to his viewers last week and I am happy he did. I look forward to following you and will also try and catch-up with your older videos, as well. Take care and best regards!
θυμίζει τον τρόπο που καθαρίζω το πιστόλι μου! αχαχα Πάντως είδα και τα 3 βίντεο που έκανες. Ήθελα να κάνω μια παραγγελία για ενα ξυράφι που ήθελα και όπως πάντα ψάχνοντας έπεσα και στο Qshave. Θα το παρω και αυτό τελικά γιατί μου θέλω λίγο να μάθω τα adjustable πριν δώσω κανονικά λεφτά. Σ' ευχαριστώ για τα βίντεο και την ενημέρωση! ( δεν υπάρχουν αλλού στο youtube για το συγκεκριμένο το δεύτερο και τρίτο βίντεο που έκανες)
Εξαιρετικό βίντεο.Κατατοπιστικό και αναλυτικότατο. Έλυσα και καθάρισα και τη δική μου μηχανή.Μπράβο.Συνέχισε έτσι δυναμικά και με βίντεο στα ελληνικά αν είναι δυνατόν.
Bloody hell my qshave was stuck on number 4 for months, it wouldn't turn. I had to use 10 inch locking pliers set to just above the minimum, with lots of wrapped cloth on the handle. I got the adjustment moving but it took 2 days of soaking in water softener (salt&laundry powder) to get the mechanism loose. Just now I got them apart! There's so much left over shaving soap in the threads and spring. I still had to use the locking pliers, the screw and thread were very seized. I was using Palmolive shave stick 70%of the time and Mitchell's woolfat soap. If you use Palmolive soak your razor in boiling water & 1 teaspoon of laundry powder once a month.
I believe it's not the palmolive fault. With the adjustable razors you have to clean it every month or so. The mechanism has to be nice and loose. Thank you for your tip! 😎👌
@@TheGreekShaver hi mate I just found out the spring used in this razor is steel. The other parts are made of aluminum. The issue is that different metals can react/ promote corrosion. Especially when water, salts, acids & other chemicals are involved. In my razor the threads in both the handle and head are very corroded. I guess you get what you pay for but removing the spring is a good idea. Doing that you'll be limited to using the lowest / number 1 position. If you are soaking the razor to remove soap scum do the spring separately. Thanks for the reply, hope you're well in these taxing times.
Mine was the same way. The female threaded "nut" came out of the handle! I finally got the razor disassembled. If this happens to you, make a note of the position of the nut on the handle. It has to be lined up again when you re-assemble. I had to tap the nut back into the handle. My cleaner was Scrubbing Bubbles and I will now disassemble and clean the razor every week. If you have blade alignment issues, try rotating the spring slightly, horizontally.
Nice video. I have just been given a Qshave. Will WD40 work as a lubricant? I know WD40 has a strong smell which might linger and spoil the shave experience
The Greek Shaver yeah man now I’m not going to go past 3. Cause when I did go in the higher levels being as though the blade balance is off I cut myself.
Πολύ ωραία παρουσίαση… Αλήθεια για καινούργια μηχΑνη του κουτιού πριν ξυριστεις πρώτη φορά ακολουθείς αυτή τη διαδικασία……!…?προσωπικά στα εργοστασιακά καινούργια δεν το κάνω μπορεί λάθος μου.. Αν είχα μεταχειρισμένη εννοείται θα το έκανα θα το έβαζα και σε UV sanitizer αν είχα...με ενδιαφέρει αν το κάνεις όταν το αγοράσεις...
Σε ευχαριστώ! Αυτή η διαδικασία που δείχνω είναι κυρίως για τον βαθύ καθαρισμό - λάδωμα της μηχανής μετά από κάμποση χρήση, κάτι σαν συντήρηση σκέψου. Όταν είναι καινούργια η μηχανή την πλένω με ζεστό νερό και σαπούνι απλό ή κάποιο αντιβακτηριδιακό τύπου dettol. Δεν ακολουθώ τόσο μεγάλη διαδικασία.
Mine won't rotate far enough to do this. Mine only rotates from 2 to 4 at this point. Nothing I do can make it so this is adjustable. This is a junk product.
@g xatzhs Για ρυθμιζόμενη δυστυχώς ισχύει το ότι πληρώνεις παίρνεις οπότε θα πρότεινα rockwell 6s ή 6c, την Rex ambassador, την Merkur Futur, την Parker Variant και τελευταία την Merkur Progress.
Absolutely fantastic explanation on how to disassemble and re-assemble the Qshave!:) Thank you very much!:)
I'm glad I helped! 👍😉
And The Shave Factory :)

Mine doesn't have the two dots, but a letter A instead. Is it the same thing?
@@RafaelMorgan Maybe it has the same purpose as three two dots!
@CHUNG YAU ONG in the right side as long as the spring compress fully!
This helped me out, i disassembled my Futur and on setting 1 the baseplate was not fully seated but when I changed the orientation of the blade holder is seated correctly.
Glad I helped!!
Thank you!!!!!!
You are welcome! 😎✌️
Thank you very much now I know how to keep my razor like new
You are welcome my friend!
Very useful explanation. Thanks.

Very good video! Do you have the same kind of video but for QShave Parthenon?
No I dont have the qshave Parthenon.
Hi there, great video. May you help me how to disassemble the Ming Shi 3000 TTO adjustable for cleaning, i will appreciate that. Regards
I don't have this razor, so I'm sorry that I can't help you.
Oh and I subscribed to your channel
Thank you Dave!
thank you :)

Nice video. I have just been given a Qshave. Will WD40 work as a lubricant? I know WD40 has a strong smell which might linger and spoil the shave experience
WD40 isn't technically a lubricant. Maybe some mineral oil could be better to lubricate the screw and the spring.
What oil you suggest can clipper oil work to lubricate?
Yes, clipper oil or some generic mineral oil will work just fine!
@@TheGreekShaver do you ever use grease? Did that work too?
@@dnee No, I only use a drop of mineral oil in the threads of my safety razors if I am going to put them away for a long time.
@@TheGreekShaver okay thanks
How often need clean?
Every 5-10 shaves. An old toothbrush and some soapy water is all you need.
@@TheGreekShaver thank you👍.
they changed it i believe.Now the lower plate has a B on it and the top plate has an A on it
Interesting fact! Thank you!
El problema es que con en el afloja todo el rastrillo queda como barra de mantequilla
Ιωακείμ ποιοτικά αξίζει η αγορά της συγκεκριμένης μηχανής;; Έχει μεγάλες διαφορές ξυριστικα από τη γνήσια futur;;;
Για την τιμή της, αξίζει. Δεν μπορώ να την συγκρίνω με την κανονική futur, γιατί δεν την έχω.
Χρόνια πολλά. για. αγορά. ρυθμιζόμενη. μηχανή. ο. κλονος merkur Fatur την. έκανε Βίντεο. αν. μπορεί. να. σύγκριση. το. 1. στη ρυθμίσεις. είναι. E jagget 89. είναι. πιο. επιθετική.

Η merkur progress είναι γενικά πιο ασφαλής αγορά. Ο κλώνος της φουτουρ στην ρύθμιση 2 περίπου είναι σαν την edwin jagger De89.
Beautiful razor! Nice video, brotha!😎💙
Thank you Brian! 😎🤘
I used my light twice and I stopped cause the blade balance is off
Sometimes is a hit and miss with these safety razors. The quality control isn't always very good!
The Greek Shaver yeah man now I’m not going to go past 3. Cause when I did go in the higher levels being as though the blade balance is off I cut myself.

I'm so sorry to hear this Michael. Try to contact qshave and seek a replacement part!
@g xatzhs Σίγουρα υπάρχουν καλύτερα!
@g xatzhs Για ρυθμιζόμενη δυστυχώς ισχύει το ότι πληρώνεις παίρνεις οπότε θα πρότεινα rockwell 6s ή 6c, την Rex ambassador, την Merkur Futur, την Parker Variant και τελευταία την Merkur Progress.
@g xatzhs Δηλαδή; Θύμισε μου γιατί έχει περάσει καιρός από τότε.
It's seized up like mine was from soap and gunk. That's all.
Δοκίμασε καλύτερα λάδι για όπλα, μάρκες όπως η Gun Treatment και η Tetra Gun
Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ για την πρόταση σου!🙂
