I haven't seen a thread yet started on this razor from Executive Shaving in collaboration with Alpha Shaving Works. I've been following Alpha and this project for a bit as I'm a fan of the ES Claymore V2 that was released 2-3 years back. Not the prettiest razor but, a very fine shaving razor it is with top notch cutting ability even for the toughest of beards. Well, this version the Evolution after many failed attempts by Executive Shaving in finding a local machine shop (Scotland) contracted Steve Tinter at Alpha and the race was on to produce a more contemporary version with a smaller and sleeker profile while still exhibiting the prior two Claymores cutting pedigree. It was finally released for sale yesterday and I was on it and purchased one. The razor, stand and pack of blades (Feather Pro) for $144.95 US. Not to bad for a SE made of 316 Stainless.
Just a week or 2, hopefully to have it in hand and giving it a proper going through and comparing it to the previous Claymore on how it matches up to it.
So, for anyone that has gone and acquired one and would like to post their thoughts and experiences with the Claymore Evolution, it would be great to share them here. Looking forward to those that do.
A couple pics of the razor until I receive the one that should be heading stateside shortly.....
