Does the Claymore EVO have any kind of connection to the Claymore antipersonnel mine? It doesn't have a side that says front toward enemy?
I labeled mine: blade side toward the face.
Ok cool I didn't know about these swords. Plus its self explanatory the pointy end toward the enemy.
Yes, but I’m a near the end of the journey. My shaves are where I want them to be. And I’m still having fun.
Cool.... I'm enjoying the scenery along the way..... but I'm finding some contentment as well.
Sales pitch!
Actually... I promised an update for how long my shaves last. But, it doesn't come as a shock to anyone that I'm a fan. It's the only razor I've used since Feb. 18th. I have experimented with 5 out of the 7 blades available for it, however.Sales pitch!
Ahh much better! Thanks for clearing that up @Darth Scandalous !

It would be very helpful if we could all agree on the definition of each term we use.As far as shaving is concerned I tend to equate efficiency and effectiveness - does my shave get the job done with minimal effort while remaining comfortable and predictable?
That very definition lead me to experimentation whilst shaving early on (after I had technique dialled in). Will different blades provide better shaves? What if I use a shim? Is it the soap? How thick should my lather be? What about preshave? Using a beard map for direction of passes. What is my ideal number of passes? Steep versus shallow? (It is clear that you can find me in the isolation cells of the BOSC Asylum
Ultimately the question lead me to buy another razor and what I have found is that my new razor (Fatip instead of KCG) usually provides a closer shave, but not necessarily in less passes or always comfortable. I do think the Fatip gets it done in the passes where I need four passes with the KCG - but overall I don’t think there is much of a difference between the two and so in my definition both perform equally well. With one exception which gives the Fatip the edge over the KCG and that is blades rigidity which adds to the effectiveness of my shave.
Now, in my work I do differentiate between efficiency and effectiveness but that’s a story for another time.
In sum, David, the question you raised in the OP is pretty much the holy grail question for me in terms of shaving. Excellent thread and love reading the responses of everyone. Curious to see if we can use the collective knowledge for a wiki entry
YMMV times the 10th to the 11th.
Best,

Did you forget you were at B&B, David? 
Exactly. So if you need more time efficiency decreases, but if your stubble would be away until going back to bed again (which I have managed on a number of occasions - feeling quite disappointed actually as I always look forward to another shave!), effectiveness would be high.
Which in my own case is something I need to work on. It does not matter which razor I use at the moment, I currently need about 20 minutes from start (prep) to finish (cleaning my razor). Yes effective, but efficient no - not so much yet.
