You know the drill. Day five of the grand SE shootout.
Today's shenanigans are brought to you by Occams Enoch. This is a good looking razor and I love the handle. However you need a degree in astrophysics and the dexterity of a jet fighter pilot to load a blade into the blooming thing. I got there in the end when I realised you don't break it into 3 parts, you just loosen it all up.
The shave itself wasn't the best. I didn't like the head geometry and I found the shaving angle very unintuitive. I even stopped after the first pass and changed razors to see if it was a worn out blade. This is now a double shootout as I killed two birds with one stone and picked up the Hawk v2. Extremely light razor and definitely good enough but the other razors are simply better.
Scores in the doors so far are:
1. Hawk v3
2. Yaqi Excalibur
3. Claymore Evo
4. Enoch
5. Hawk v2
6. Colonial General
So what does week one of the shootout teach us. I prefer stainless steel to aluminium. On the whole I lean towards heavier razors. I love Mitchell's Wool Fat but I eye my other soaps with envy, I'm a soap tart and easy with my affections.
Different format for next week as I try different blades in the same razors. I want to spin through the blade selection with the Claymore and the Enoch as they are loaners and I need to reunite them with their very kind owner. The rest of the comparisons can be done in slow time.
