Contact Colonial, this has been mentioned in the forums before.Hi,
I just received the Enoch razor, and the safety bar seems bent to me, like there is a "wave" to it. Is it something somebody have noticed on his razor too ?

There have been a few that slipped by during QC that were bent or wavy but I don't recall one as bad as yours though!!Hi,

At $99 I think it is the best buy in AC style SE razors. There are a few other stainless steel AC razors that might be better (e.g. General, Vector, ATT) but none of them are anywhere near under $100. The stainless steel Hawk is the only other one I can think of, and I have found the Enoch to outperform both the safety bar and open comb versions of the Hawk. Of course, you might find the opposite to be true for you.I see the enoch is currently on sale for $99. Now that people have had them in their collections for a few months, what is the perception? Is this a good deal? Still having quality issues?
Thanks

The Enoch is my favorite razor - full stop. The only negative thing I can say about it is that blade loading is a bit tricky. The lugs are very shallow and it's easy to knock the blade off the lugs when assembling the razor. I will say, however, that with practice it becomes a bit fiddly but no big deal.
What are the other 4 in your top 5?^^^^^
+1 Agree on all counts. Perhaps not my favorite but, top 5 for sure and quite possibly could have been in my top 3 if it weren’t for the early q/c issues....

Since I have (somewhat arbitrarily) set my limit at $100, I haven't tried any of those razors. Someday I may finally lift my self-imposed limit and spring for the Vector. It has always intrigued me, and I've not heard anything negative about the razor or the company.In no particular order: Asylum Rx, Vector, Cobra Classic & Ikon El Jefe......
It's been listed as "sold out" for quite a while, perhaps going on years.Lately I have been using some newer DE razors that I purchased, but this morning I went back to the Enoch and was once again impressed by how smooth and efficient it is. Are you sure that it's been discontinued? I just went to the Classic Shaving website and it shows it as "sold out" but not discontinued.
Thanks, that's good to know. I have mine, so I won't be looking to buy one, but I won't recommend it to anyone else if it's no longer available for purchase.It's been listed as "sold out" for quite a while, perhaps going on years.
